Chapter 858: Revealed
With the sudden flood of light, the surroundings were revealed. In the distance, thousands of tightly packed things were moving up and down. These things were split between elated and devastated, throwing their arms up in victory or shaking them angrily because of their defeat. At this same time even more lights came to life, illuminating a large circular tunnel at each of the cardinal directions. Seeing this change, Sage quickly kicked his feet, sending him shooting towards the closest of these tunnels. He swam towards the circular tunnel while keeping aware of the behemoth he was just in conflict with. There was another loud boom and a cloud of red spread into the water on the other side of the monster.
As he got closer to the tunnel it became far more obvious what all those moving things were. The faces of thousands of people looked down at him from their space in a sea of seats. The tunnel he moved towards was positioned just beneath row after row of tight packed chairs which were at this time mostly filled with people of every shape, size, and color. There was another loud boom but this time the others seem to have learned their lesson and there was no spray of gore.
Sage swam into the tunnel and two others followed behind him, but they all shared a glance and then moved down the tunnel without any further interference. The tunnel carried out for some distance before abruptly pointing straight up. They all turned the corner and swam upward till they found a small room. The room was filled with air, not water, and as soon as they reached the top of the tunnel they pulled themselves out of the water like they were climbing out of a pool. In this room there was a set of guards that were watching their actions closely but didnt stop them from leaving through the set of double doors and passing down a long hallway. Along this hallway were many large open locker rooms and shower areas along with doors that he knew led to private rooms. This hallway looped in a circle all the way around the whole stadium where the spectators had been seated and he had to travel quite a way before reaching the only exit that was blocked by more than a dozen heavily armed guards.
Their eyes lingered upon the things tied to his belt for a moment, but they let him through after conferring among themselves. Sage walked into a large chamber that had four large ramps and four stairways leading out of it. He didnt even slow down as he stepped onto the second stairway and started climbing upwards. After climbing a single flight he followed a tunnel down for some time, walking past many closed doors before climbing up more flights of stairs. Eventually he reached the top and walked down another hallway. In this hall there were many people that looked like high class waiters carrying trays full of food and drinks. There were doors with guards on either side of them, checking the trays before letting them into the rooms. Sage walked past some of them before stopping in front of one and looking at the two guards. They didnt stop him as he walked before them and pushed the door open.
What was even stranger was that this person was wearing what could be described as a tuxedo, complete with two long tails at the back of his jacket. There were shiny polished leather shoes that looked more like sandals as they covered only the top of the foot, but were split open to allow the wide flipper feet to touch the ground. Weirder still was that instead of a tophat to go along with the monocle it wore over one eye, this creature wore a silver tiara complete with sparkling diamond-like gemstones.
The strange body shape and feet were not the only signs that this wasnt a human, in fact the persons wide mouthed fish face was the most obvious. They had a mouth full of long thin teeth that jut out of their lips like a metal cage and a long thin tendril of flesh shot out of its forehead just above the tiara. This dangling bit of flesh hung in front of its forehead and the teardrop shaped tip of it glowed with light. The others that had been sitting beside it had similar looks and clothing, but this one seemed more vibrant and had a more powerful personality. There was something about this strange creature that captured attention. In spite of its weird appearance it still had a sort of powerful charisma.
Sage waited for the short fellow to walk over to him and then he took off his outer belt and held it out. This creature, Sir Thele, grabbed the belt with two white gloved hands and counted the four bundles of kelp and seaweed. A large bobbling eye swung up towards Sage without Sir Thele even moving any of the rest of his body and Sage quickly spoke.
As you can tell, I didnt look inside any of them.
They do seem sealed quite well. Buh hah hah! Nicely done. Youre a good chap. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.
