Shady's Back III [Treasure Search / Complete]

[Rachel Zwingli]

starting over again and ►►picking up all of the pieces

It was another fine day for exploring the Ruins… only because Rachel had decided to literally avoid the place like a plague for the last few weeks due to her weirdly good luck. She knew that pushing it after that second find was going to result in a disaster (she’d already learned from previous trips that luck was one thing that would definitely not be messed with) so she’d only made her return trip today, when the weather was looking a bit better than it did the last few weeks. Even if the sun was shining overhead, she still decided to dress up against the unexpected weather changes, because who knew what would happen within the day? After making sure that the scarf was secured, she then grabbed the small backpack of choice supplies (which included flash lights) and made her way out to the Ruins, hoping that the weather wouldn’t do a 360 on her. Several hours later, Rachel had finally arrived at the Ruins, and saw that there was a light shower of snow falling. At least I arrived here before the stronger snowfall started… she mused to herself as she then moved her backpack to the front and then extracted a flash light from the depths of the pack she had with her and flicking it on. once the beam of light poured out of the end, she then began her hike into the new segment of the Ruins that she was going to explore, wondering if there were treasures or bust lying in wait for her at the end of the tunnel… 3 / 4

As the beam of light began to wiggle down and shine through random rooms, Rachel could feel a chilly wind cutting through the corridor where she was located. Sure, it wasn’t as cold as the rainy winds that blew through Castelia on an almost weekly basis, but this wind had a different sort of chill to it—the kind that really permeated and penetrated down to the bone. “Merde,” she began, rubbing her hands together, trying to keep warm—even if she was wearing two pairs of gloves, it was really just that cold! She then continued to look through the rooms, deciding not to touch the walls or anything—she could feel a distinct chill emanating from the cooled rock even if she was in the middle of the hallway and the corridor surrounded her. “Damn it, why…” she continued, wondering if it would be a good idea to send out Sky—but decided against it a few moments later, because she knew that whenever it got to the point when it was so cold, her Rufflet-now-Braviary would retreat and park himself next to the space heater in their apartment and just stay there until the cold weather had passed. As she then entered the next room and shone the beam of light into it, a distinct glittering caught her eye. Wondering what it was, she then made her way inside the room—not realizing that she’d triggered a trap. As she took one, two, three steps forward—she then felt something…weird. As if the ground was crumbling to nothing. She then looked down and then shrieked—the ground beneath her was literally disintegrating, revealing a room filled with what she did not want to know what it could do to her! Shrieking, she then began to hop, skip, and literally make a flying leap as the flooring crumbled, making a last valiant jump and screeching as she heaved her entire body across the void, throwing her long arms out, an attempt to reach the remaining solid floor where a dais was located, and above the dais was the glittering thing she’d caught sight of moments earlier. As her arms literally slammed against rock, she felt the pain heave through her body, but her arms suddenly went taut and tried to pull herself up. “HOLY SHIT! Now I know how Blondie feels in those action stunts he does in the movies!!!” she screeched at the top of her voice, her feet struggling to find some purchase on the rather slippery rock that she was trying to pull herself up on. after several more minutes of struggling, she finally managed to pull herself up onto the actual dais, but not without injury. She could feel her muscles all sore—and suspected that she’d twisted something out of shape. But what mattered was that she’d managed to get to the dais, and she then pulled herself up, making sure to hang on to the dais’ body itself just to get some traction—her feet were still wobbly. She then saw that there was a glittering thing in the cavity, and without even checking, quickly grabbed it and then realized what kind of a messy situation she was in. “Oh. Oh, holy crap…” she muttered, after dropping the marble into a secured pocket and scanning the predicament she’d gotten herself tangled in. most defo claiming! enjoy the action scene.
