Staves Rest - Where Are We?

The Descent - Week 1

“So you jumped into Staves Grotto for a staxie you don’t even know,” Bluebell asked his sibling.

“I wanted to see what the Depths would give me!” Glaze replied back.

Bluebell simply sighed as he felt around the environment. It felt like wood underneath his feet. Like a house or some other urban setting. He sniffed the air, the mixture of other scents entering the air. This was not what he was told about the Depths, and Hepzibah did not lie to him. He hopped through the wooden floor, trying to sense closer and closer what was going on. Glaze stopped him. They immediately knew something had gone wrong. The scene repeated, over and over. Something moved away from the window and something was watching them.

“Who are you!?” They shouted at the unknown presence.

“Whoever or whatever it is, it doesn’t seem to be responding,” Bluebell replied.

“Of freaking course. What do we do about that?” Glaze spoke.

“We need to investigate, of course. You said there was something out of the window, right?” Bluebell asked them.

“Yes, there is. I didn’t see what it was, but something was out there.” Glaze noted. “What is this guy’s deal, anyway?”

“I have no idea. It’s not wise to jump in the hole without the proper requisites.” Bluebell spoke, worried about Jacquez.

“Well someone said he wasn’t an ‘actual person’ whatever that means. He doesn’t look like any squall I’ve seen. Is he even a staxie?” Glaze said, mostly to themselves.

“It doesn’t matter. Something bad might have happened to him and we have to make sure he is safe.” Bluebell spoke to their sibling. “Plus, you’re not exactly normal yourself.”

Glaze concedes the point and decides to look out the window the best they can. This was not anything they had seen, and they sensed in their ribs that it may not be anywhere in Staves Rest. This was important to their mother, and perhaps, the Depths may reward them for this. They already noticed the quills growing out of their body, and the new nose that Blue had developed. This had to be happening for a reason. They try and observe everything around them, Bluebell sniffing as well. This was going to be a long day for the both of them, but they couldn’t help but feel some sense of exhilaration searching for the mysterious squall.
