"Up to my knees now Morley." We were being slowly drug under by the creature or whatever the tentacles were attached to. Morley had sort of gotten to his knees before it began taking him under, so now it was up to his thighs.
"Good to know that I'll die first, at least one thing is going to go right with that." I tell you I get out of weird situations all the time, why do people think that I'll die, sure they might and frequently do, but I'll live! Isn't that a consolation? That someone will live to grossly exagerate the tale later? No respect!
"Might be just trying to slowly capture us Morley, you never know."
"And all the bones in the area?"
"Failed captures, perhaps this beast is very broken up by its accidental deaths earlier and now wishes to try with something smaller." It was a valid theory.
"You truely are the dumbest person I know, and I've known a lot of dumb people." I would have commented about Morley knowing a lot of dumb people was a character flaw, but I felt a sudden tug and the slow process of me being drug under became a very fast process. I could see sand floating in front of my vision and I was ripped beneath the surface (closed my eyes at that point didn't really want to get sand in them, also for the first time in a long time shut my mouth). I have to admit I was terrified I was going to drown in sand (its happened to others before I think, maybe? I'll have to look that up in places that information is stored). Thankfully I wasn't drowned by sand. I came through in a cavern underground (well naturally it wouldn't be like I came through in a cavern above ground, that would be weird). I thought maybe I lucked out until Morley came through the ground next to me, we were both swinging from the tentacle things that had drug us under in the first place, which raised several questions about what the hell the tentacles were.
The cavern was mostly rock with a sand ceiling (where we came through) I didn't want to know the logistitics of its construction and what kept the sand from falling through and drowning us. It was clear there was some kind of magic at play here, I didn't see another prisoner other than Morley. We were both swinging from our tentacles, sadly my sword was the first thing I dropped when I got pulled under, it sat there on the ground mocking me.
"I told you." Morley didn't respond, he looked away as best he could while we were swinging there. But I totally did tell him. There are few things I like better than being completely right. Though I'll admit one of those things is not ending up swinging from a weird ground tentacle underground. But for the moment, I was completely right!
