Chapter 16 by AeylinFaith AeylinFaith

What's next?

The duo proceeds

Unsure where or what Gideon is leading her to she has no doubt he has his reasons, perhaps they'll find more of their order or perhaps he's found a way to return to their own realm. She's never seen a rift underwater but it would explain why she hasn't found any on land so far. [Event: 14 Natural anomaly (time warps, weather changes, etc)]

Outside of her vision range, a shape starts to form, with each step it refines its colour and shape and slowly forms more and more into that of a ship. A sunk one at that. The duo approached the vessel and found a crack on the starboard as if something had torn a hole through it.
{must have been a cannonball, but this hole is massive! No wonder it was shipwrecked.}

The duo enters through the hole, Gideon lending a knee to the mare before pulling himself up onto the deck. The wreck is old, and an infestation of barnacles has accumulated everywhere along with various other life forms you'd find below the waters. A small school of fish swims past and out of the hole like you've just disturbed bats in a cave.

Aeylin searches the wreck for anything of value [Natural 1]

With such limited vision, it's hard to see anything down here, especially since so little light reaches within this place. She started from the top deck which allowed her to scan the surrounding area and was exposed to the most light, whatever value it once had was gone.. supposedly plundered by whomever had sunk it or simply drifted off to shore or sea. She assumed the lower decks might have some hidden treasure still all be it she'd have to go by touch for the most part. Gideon was already busy in one of the corners but taking the time to appreciate a small shrimp singlehandedly attempting to clean the algae of a long-lost cannon. Aeylin turned towards the lowest deck her fingers tracing the walls, light barely reached here.. She almost gave up until she noticed a blur in the corner, she approached it carefully until her hand ran into a slimy substance.. Just before she came to a stop she bumped into an equally slimy gelatinous substance.. that quickly wrapped around her arm, she could feel suckers drawing a vacuum as they wrapped around.. [Event Powerful ennemy] She attempted to scream but it was just bubbly mumbles..
[Octopus 23, 13 Stealth]
