Into the underground!

Thursday 31 May 2007

One step into the gaping void of this cave would be enough to instil awe in even the most seasoned traveller, Me included.

This place was massive, enormous, gigantic, large, colossal, grand, humungous, immense, titanic, vast, and I do believe I’m now out of appropriate words from my thesaurus! None of these words do justice to this natural beauty.

I was travelling on a quest to discover the Hodemines secrets, This had lead me to find the entrance to this cave and report its whereabouts. Well, what kind of adventurer would I be if I just stopped at finding it?

As I travelled deeper into the dark abyss the light from the entrance slowly faded. It was at this time I was almost ready to turn back, as without a torch my chances of progressing further inside were close to naught! And would be suicidal at best! As I looked around in the minute glow that remained from the entrance, I noticed that there was not 1, but 1 feint glows, one in either direction!

If this was another exit to the cave I could be going to where no one had been before! Or at least, no one had been in a long time.

I decided to continue forwards into the cave, but as the glow from the entrance faded, more and more faint lights started to appear in the distance. As I approached closer and closer, I was amazed to find crystals of all sizes and colours on the wall emanating a disliking glow that illuminated the entire cavern!

Aided by the newfound light I decided it would be best If I had a quick look around the cave,
however in non adventuring language this tends to equate to running around like a headless chicken until you get extremely disorientated and very, very lost!

After walking for a short while I started top hear a light sound of trickling water, as I progressed the light trickle ended up as a roar as I found myself at a large subterranean waterfall. Which I rather promptly, well I fell of to be honest, while peering over the edge to see how far down it went I slipped off the wet rock and fell 75 odd feet into the freezing water.

Now this would usually slow down most people, unfortunately I was one of them. But unfortunately for me the rather angry Cornuts that I landed on wasn’t. I started to run through the cave, deeper and deeper through the labyrinth of identical caves until I wound up in a bit of a odd situation, continue forwards down a very steep, very wet incline, or turn around and try to sneak past my angry little friend.

Well, as you have already surmised my shoes don’t have that much grip, as I turned to try to find my way back out, I slipped on a Poporing and tumbles backwards down the slippery rock banging my head on the way down, several times.

When I came to I found myself in a much, much, larger cavern. After walking around for a short time I found 2 old people down here! One of them was a old blacksmith, he had a long white bears yet a well upkeep appearance, and the other, an old woman, one would assume his wife, was selling items! After a quick hello I started to run, pretty much as fast as I could away from these 2 people, By this point I had 2 ideas. One, I had hit my head a lot harder than I thought, or Two, Those were some messed up weirdoes the kind you really do not want to socialise with!
