You find yourself in an odd corner of the caverns with what look like the remains of an old camp. Besides the iron cookery and dust-filled humanoid armor, you feel that if you touched any of it, it might buckle under the weight of time. Carved into the stone is a strange word: GALATEA. What do you make of this?

Lucky trotted through the corridors; his hoofbeats echoing in the empty halls. He sighed happily as he found a room to loot. How he loves looting! The room was untouched and covered in a thick layer of dust. 

 

It was full of treasures. From pieces of gold to cool antique items. It seemed like this might have been a camp. There weren’t any torches, but luckily Lucky had brought his own. He wandered the room, seeing all sorts of treasures as he went. He found something across the room that caught his eye, an old pan. Why? Lucky didn’t know, it just seemed to call him. As he approached, something behind it caught his eye, an armor set. For humans? “Did humans even wear armor?” Lucky pondered out loud. His words bounced around the room, and as they did a crash could be heard. Lucky felt his blood rush up to his head. Had he broken something? Most of these rooms were cursed, if you broke something you probably wouldn’t make it out alive. Even if you did, most perished only days after breaking an item. 

 

Another, louder crash. “Oh no.” Lucky whispered to himself. He stood as still as possible, trying not to move. He saw a flash in his peripheral vision. Frightened, he ran through all the possibilities, still not moving. Something darted in front of him. Something, or someone? 

The thing stopped in front of Lucky’s hooves. “Oh.” Lucky says with a little disappointment. It’s just a bug, but that bug brought Lucky’s attention to the wall. The word GALATEA has been carved.

 

“Galatea? What could that even mean?” Lucky asks, to no one in particular. Lucky notices something; everything in this room is on the verge of breaking. Maybe the word Galatea has something to do with that?

 

Lucky decides, it's probably for the best if he gets out of here and fast.
