PHANTOM
So scatter all my ashes when I'm dead And shatter every legend in my head
So scatter all my ashes when I'm dead And shatter every legend in my head
Rocks slid from beneath Phantom's cloven hooves as she followed the path into the underground cave system. As the angled path leveled out she paused to look at the wall of crystal that directed heat into the cave. She stepped closer, muzzle reached toward the crystal wall, but she paused as her whiskers touched the surface of the wall. She stood a moment like that then withdrew her muzzle and looked toward the stalactites that hung from the ceiling. As she looked at them she wondered how stable they were, if they might fall and pierce her body, pin her to the ground where she would bleed out. No one would be the wiser until they found her body, rotted and riddled with maggots. Phantom snorted and lowered her gaze. It wasn't often that she let her imagine run away with her, but when she did it was often filled with images of her own gory demise.
Her steps echoed as she began to weave her way around the stalagmites, eager to leave them and their counterparts behind her, though she was sure there were many, many more deeper in the cave. Her attention was drawn toward a room situated off of the main room that she had entered. Phantom's pale ears tilted forward and she stepped into the new area, crimson eyes sweeping quickly around the room. Once she ascertained that she was alone her stance relaxed and she walked casually toward a wall situated in the room.
How curious.
As Phantom moved closer she could make out etchings on the wall. She was unfamiliar with Helovia's history, being a newcomer, but even she knew that the wall was something of importance. It told a story that she could only try to assume the meaning of. The pale mare moved slowly from one end of the wall to the other, taking her time to study the images. Even as she studied them they were still meaningless to her. She'd have to find someone well versed in Helovia's history and speak with them so she could learn.
