[MEDIUM] A Trip Into The Depths
After double checking their gear, Callisto and Amadeus shared a quick glance with each other before setting off into the dungeon. They had both heard rumours of riches and greatness coming from this dungeon, which Callisto begged and pleaded with Deus to come collect with him. After giving it some thought, the brown puck decided he could not let his friend go in alone to a strange and mysterious place and tagged along with him, offering to carry all their gear to save the smaller courser some energy.
"Are you sure about this place Callisto..." Deus murmured, squinting in the dim lighting of the dungeon. The daylight from the entrance was fading swiftly and he debated on lighting a torch but he wouldn't dare touch the supplies without Callisto's say-so. "It doesn't seem that well explored...Who did you hear about this from?" He shook out his coat as a drop of ice cold water fell onto his shoulder blades, sending a chill up his spine.
Callisto's laugh echoed around the hallway they were in, he could see the white coursers head turn to look at him slightly in the dark. "You worry too much dear Deus, it's neither here nor there who I heard about this place from. All that truly matters is what we find in the depths!" Amadeus sighed, speeding up slightly to fall in step with Callisto. The smaller brown and white courser didn't look at him as he came up beside them, setting his bright blue gaze dead ahead. They started to slow down and Amadeus did too.
Thick metal bars blocked their path, looking rather rusted and worn down but sturdy nonetheless. Amadeus started to take a step forward to see if it had a gate to pass through but rapid hoof steps hurried towards them and a skeletal mass of what looked to be a fellow courser bounded towards them. "Travellers! Oh my stars thank goodness I found you! Please...You have to let me join you they trapped me in here! THEY TRAPPED ME IN HERE." It began to scream, trying to reach out towards the pair and seizing Amadeus in its tight grasp as he attempted to move away. " PLEASE. PLEASE I'M STUCK IN HERE. YOU HAVE TO HELP ME." Its scream was piercing, hurting the pairs ears and Amadeus's leg. He tried to pull away but the grip was too strong, Callisto noticed and gripped onto Amadeus's haunches and tried to pull him back.
