You've been walking around without your shoes on to lower the noise of your footsteps. Although you've stepped on multiple pebbles and stubbed your toe a few times, it's much better than alerting a monster that could tear you apart in a split second. Your eyes have been completely adjusted to the darkness, allowing you to move around freely without getting lost. You're unbelievably afraid, but you've managed to hold all of that fear inside. For the past hour, you've traversed the halls with a focused mind and a steady pace, making sure to check your surroundings at any given moment. Every time that you heard an unfamiliar noise, even if it was faint, you immediately stopped until you were completely sure that nothing was there.
Turning around the corner to another hallway, you spot an area in the distance that is fully illuminated. Additionally, it doesn't look like every other room you've seen before. This one seems to be an entire outpost from the looks of it. You calm yourself down and sneak through the hallway leading towards it. You have the urge to instantly sprint to the room, but you're scared that you might attract something that'll hear you. Nonetheless, even though you took a minute longer than usual, you made it to the base.
Nobody is here. It looks almost abandoned...
Cobwebs have been building up around the small settlement with most lanterns being burnt out. The area seems to have been created for an entire community, as there are countless homes assembled around the outpost. Small watch towers and fences have been built around the place with bridges scattered towards different stations. The group that constructed this facility definitely knew what they were doing. Not only is it a shelter for residents, but it also acts as a storage unit and a farming station while simultaneously being an extremely protective colony. Based on this information, it seems like there must've been dozens of people to pull off a system this complicated.
But how did this monstrous community disappear? From the looks of it, there didn't seem to be much of a struggle. All of the buildings are still intact, with the only ones damaged are the houses not sturdy enough to survive countless years of abandonment. The area seems untouched and surprisingly isolated. You begin to think that maybe this group went out today to scavenge for supplies or something along the lines of that. So after a bit of pondering, you wait for them to come back.
A few hours go by, and you decide to make yourself useful. You light some of the lanterns back up, sort stuff out in the buildings, try and bring the crops back to life, and other stuff that you thought of doing. After more waiting, you let out a huge sigh as you plop yourself onto a chair beside you. This place is truly abandoned. And there's no denying it. You look around this area one last time, thinking about how lively this settlement would've been. People actually feeling safe, and getting a chance to have a fresh start. You stand up and collect some useful items around the small village before wandering off.
Just before you leave, you come across a note set beside a burnt-out candle in one of the houses. You walk towards the table and attempt to read it, but the paragraph seems to be written in an unidentified language, presumably made up. The only thing you can make out is the drawing beside it. A humanoid couple smiling, surrounded by a heart. At the bottom of the page lies two dried-out teardrops.
Your eyes begin to water, but you don't know whether it's because you're sad or frightened. This entire community is missing for an undisclosed reason, with this note showing that whatever happened, they didn't want this. This letter was a goodbye.
A tear falls from your eye as it lands on the paper, leaving its third and final teardrop.
Welcome to The Town of Kavragost.
