Suddenly, in an instant, Thrall and Knight are both thwacked upside the head with a heavy blunt object in a way that has a high chance of knocking them tf out.
At the same time, something pounces on Cole, causing his vision to rapidly flash sanguine red and black.
Cole disappears.
Cole appears… somewhere, hitting his back hard against the gravel underneath him.
Whatever the hell tackled him leaps off and dashes into the darkness around him.
He stands up and dusts himself off
"Fucking hate gravel it’s so gravely."
...It's dark.
"Ｙｏｕｒ ｖｉｓｉｏｎ ｉｓ ｄａｒｋ． Ｔｈｉｓ ｉｓ ｇｏｏｄ． Ｙｏｕ ｗｉｌｌ ｂｅ ｆｉｎｅ． Ｍｏｖｅ ｔｏｗａｒｄｓ ｍｙ ｖｏｉｃｅ．"
The voice sounded... strong. Blunt and to the point. Echoey, also.
Cole shrugs and walks toward the voice.
"whatever you say echo voice headass"
Authoritative.
Cole steps off of the gravel onto stone. His steps echo throughout what sounds like a cavern.
The voice gives a deep chuckle.
"Ｄｏ ｎｏｔ ｆａｌｌ． Ｉｔ ｗｉｌｌ ｂｅ ｆａｔａｌ． Ｓｈｏｗ ｗｅａｋｎｅｓｓ ａｎｄ ｙｏｕ ｄｉｅ．"
"oh please i have come back from the dead aroundddd 6 times now im not afraid of some fucking rocks"
"Ｙｏｕ ａｒｅ ｃｏｎｆｉｄｅｎｔ． Ｇｏｏｄ． Ｉ ｌｉｋｅ ｔｈａｔ． Ｉ ｈａｖｅ ｍａｄｅ ｔｈｅ ｃｏｒｒｅｃｔ ｃｈｏｉｃｅ．"
"correct choice for what?"
"Ｋｅｅｐ ｗａｌｋｉｎｇ．"
Cole groans and keeps walking.
Every step echoes. Step. Step. Step. Step. It's so silent you can hear water droplets hitting the ground.
...There's breathing in the darkness. There are steps going closer to him.
"Ｆｏｏｌｓ． Ａｔｔａｃｋ ｈｉｍ ａｎｄ ｙｏｕ ｗｉｌｌ ｂｅ ａｄｄｅｄ ｔｏ ｍｙ ｔｈｒｏｎｅ．"
...The steps stop. The breathing continues.
"oooo do you also have a skull throne?"
"Ａｌｓｏ？ Ｙｏｕ ａｌｓｏ ｈａｖｅ ａ ｓｋｕｌｌ ｔｈｒｏｎｅ？"
Another deep, demonic chuckle echoes throughout the cavern.
" Ｇｏｏｄ． Ｇｏｏｄ． Ｖｅｒｙ Ｇｏｏｄ． Ａ ｐｅｒｓｏｎ ｗｉｔｈ ｔａｓｔｅ． Ｇｏｏｄ．"
"yeahhhh people who understand the skull throne finally"
"Ｍｙ ｃｈｏｉｃｅ ｉｓ ｖａｌｉｄａｔｅｄ ｙｅｔ ａｇａｉｎ．"
"how long is this fucking cave?"
"Ｙｏｕ ａｒｅ ａｌｍｏｓｔ ｈｅｒｅ． Ｋｅｅｐ ｗａｌｋｉｎｇ．"
"alright i mean like i have forever its not like im dying anytime soon"
The voice gets less echoey and more gravely and scratchy the further he goes.
Also, Cole steps. and doesn't step on the ground. and begins to freefall down a pit.
Cole groans.
"a pit really?"
Cole's vision flashes sanguine red and he's suddenly on the ground.
"Ｙｅｓ． Ａ ｐｉｔ． Ｗｅｌｃｏｍｅ．"
The voice is no longer echoey. It's deep and gravely and scratchy. The room is very warm.
Cole sighs.
"so where am i exactly?"
He stands up and looks around.
Cole stands up facing a stone wall, when he turns around, he sees darkness.
"Ｊｕｓｔ ａ ｍｏｍｅｎｔ．"
The voice booms from where he's looking.
There's a loud snap.
