Unusual World 21 The Underground

Morning Road, Delmar City

Inside the Hunter's Bizarre Seraphine was picking up some books that had fallen when Desmond crashed into the pile behind him when she heard her husband Ragnar speak.

"You know that guy was lying to us right his heart rate was way off almost every time he spoke most of the things he said were true but the important parts weren't" Ragnar was back to eating his meal and watching TV as he spoke to his wife.

Seraphine looked over at Ragnar as" she continued cleaning "of course I know that you think my skills have dulled just because I have been living an easy life behind these walls".

"Of course not it's just that guy was a little weird you know, he had the faint smell of a human corpse but a strong smell of a drowner and an iron back gorilla. I highly doubt he's undead in disguise but the probability of him betraying his teammates for that sleeping death core is still a strong possibility".Ragnar was remembering the things he smelled when Seraphine broke him out of it.

"Its none of our business what he did, who he is, or what he wants to do. I'm far more dangerous than he is, I've done worse things and so have you. So, stop prattling on about him you sounding more like a khajiit than a powerful werewolf" Seraphine had a teasing look on her face as she looked back at Ragnar.

"Take that back" Ragnar raised his voice in frustration with the woman's teasing.

"If you want me to stop then stop being so worried for nothing scaredy-cat" she was having so much fun teasing the poor werewolf she couldn't help but laugh".

By the time desmond reached the train station in the area he was sweating, carrying a bunch of books, a trash bag fool of food and walking everywhere all day was not easy for him.

He would like to have hired a cab but he had no idea if that existed in this world.

"This is the most I've ever walked in my entire life, I may not remember my other life but I have a feeling I didn't go out much". crouching on the ground breathing heavily next to the entrance of the train station surrounded by a sea of people that kept entering and exiting the train station.

Most of the people coming in and leaving were kind of dirty. Some people were covered in dirt from head to toe like they just got out of a mine, other peoples hands were still black from grease stains from working with machines.

A lot of them wore denim overalls or coveralls either striped or not just a single shade of blue which seemed to be the most popular color at the moment. Their clothes had wide open lapels for holding tools or nails and some wore a newsboy cap on their head. There were even others who looked like me geared up to go to clover forest and kill some creatures. Some had better gear than me others were worn out from years of use.

The station I saw was pretty big it had to be to support the huge flow of people that wouldn't stop coming. It wasn't as stupidly ma.s.sive as the wall they built it was more normal size just like any other train station but, it was still pleasing to the eyes. A high ceiling, stained gla.s.s, statues of magi and a few different kinds of people like an archer, swordsman, a monk for some reason, a man playing the flute, an a.s.sa.s.sin, a man that tamed a lot of beasts behind him, a karate master.

Every statue was beautifully carved they were all the work of a true master. I admire what I see for a bit as I regain my strength then I went in. I thought I had to buy a ticket or something but it looked like the trains were all free to ride going the underground.

There were a ton of people waiting for the train just like me I blended in with the crowd beautifully so I didn't look out of place at all. The trains never stopped coming when one got packed up another one was following closely behind it.

It took me a few minutes to finally get on board the train, the entering thing was filled with people the air smelled sour like a gym locker room. I was pressed against another man who had been sweating all day. His s.h.i.+rt was damp and "oh G.o.d ... I think some of his manly juices got into my mouth". I hack constantly, needles to say it wasn't a pleasant ride.

The ride was long for me it only lasted 10 minutes but with that man constantly dripping on me and the other people not helping the situation at all it made the ride that much more unbearable.

I almost didn't get to see what the underground looked like for the first time because of them. It's a good thing I didn't miss it because what I saw was wonderful the underground was an absolutely ma.s.sive underground multi layered cavern that was an entirely different city on its own Delmar City was actually a multi layered city.

The lights from the hundreds of thousands of homes, electronic street lamps, and gigantic glowing crystals protruding from everywhere illuminated the city driving away the darkness. There were ma.s.sive natural pillars at least 400 meters wide that went from the bottom all the way to the top that I could not see clearly because it was so far away.

People apparently also made their homes inside the stone pillars as well. From what I could see they carved the exterior making a smooth fine finish then burrowed their way inside. There were so many floors in each of the pillars, all lit up with light bulbs.

It was one of the most dazzling things I have ever seen, despite all its danger this world makes up for it in its beauty and wonder. This seen dug up a memory deep in my soul "I can remember where that old man lives, finally!". I was so happy since that meant I didn't have to live on the streets anymore fighting birds for food or taking it from the trash.

When I got off the train I thought the air was going to be stale since I was underground but, the air was pretty fresh. Well, not that fresh since I was still next to the trains but fresh enough. The train station underground was an exact copy of the one above ground.

Since there was nothing for me to see in here I went outside heading straight towards my home I took so long to find. The streets were paved with brick just like above ground, you could even tell this place had some history just by looking around. The architecture is a bit older than what I saw above ground for some of the homes.

There are a lot of food stalls everywhere selling things for a few oboli or a few Drachma so, I guess street food is reasonably priced if I think of every Drachma as a 1 dollar American bill and oboli as pennies. Then food is actually cheaper here than were I use to live It was like 5 dollars for a gallon of milk and 6 for cereal. A lot of people over there would kill for these kinds of prices.

Thinking about my old world actually hurts me a bit, I guess I should, for the most part, forget about it and focus on what's in front of me. "Hmm ... If food prices are low doesn't that mean the magi do a decent job running the government? They will apparently kill any normal person without batting an eye which sucks especially for me if I accidentally p.i.s.s one off but since 90% of people don't have the chance to become a mage I guess I won't run into one anytime soon. I guess you really have to take the good with the bad in this world.

A few feet across the street

As Desmond was Walking through the crowd to his new home he unknowingly catches the eye of someone dinning at a food stall who knows the old man who's body he now inhabits.
