[DD1] Searching for Treasure
Verdandi had glared at that massive crevice in the ground for years, always wondering if what others said could be true. Were Dungeons actually filled to the brim with treasure and adventure? She had seen parties of other Coursers entering the dungeons wearing armour and banners, accompanied by brave pets and carrying provisions, but she never knew how to get all those things. One day, however, Verdandi's curiosity got the better of her and, without wearing any protection, she went inside without looking back.
Crawling inside and following a couple of paths, the mare suddenly found herself in an overgrown and vast cave system and for a while she stood there in awe, breathing in the distinctive smell of the underground ecosystem. This was a smell she would get used to.
Verdandi hesitated momentarily, her heart pounding as she took in the scene before her. The cave was immense, its ceiling lost in shadow, with glowing fungi illuminating the walls in an eerie, pale light. Vines and moss clung to the slick, wet stone, and the distant sound of water dripping echoed through the chambers. She took a deep breath, steadying herself, before cautiously stepping forward. This path would hopefully lead her to the shining gold and treasure.
Every Courser hears the call of the dungeon in their lifetime. Most answer. Some don’t. What is it you seek here beneath the surface: Treasure? Adventure? Or something harder to define?
