Volleyball Death

Aodh walked slowly, following Henry’s majordomo, Ellen, towards the meeting Henry had scheduled with Lady Tanushree. It was time for the Delvers leader to convince Lady Tanushree to give him her support. Aodh wasn’t entirely sure what this meant, and he got the feeling Tanushree wasn’t sure herself.

If anything, she seemed to be playing along. Granted, some of the things Henry had accomplished over the last couple days had been incredible. The man was driven and seemed to be everywhere at once. On top of that, his magic power seemed limitless.

He’d built several structures, raising earthen walls to form simple shelters for Tanushee’s armswomen and the caravan animals. He’d also fashioned a workshop of sorts on the patch of land he’d first asked Tanushree to give him two days before to prove himself.

Aodh had not stepped foot in Henry’s workshop—nobody had. After Henry had disappeared into the small building he’d made of earth, he’d barely come out, only leaving to rummage around his house or ask Ellen for more food or other random things. Once he’d wanted to know if the estate had rubber on hand. Henry had acted like an excited child when he’d found out they actually had some.

The door to the small building was unlocked, and the hallway Aodh actually found himself in was...surprising. He’d thought that the building was about the size of a small house. At least, that was what it had looked like from the outside. However, since he’d entered the thick double doors of the building, the hallway had sloped down into the earth.

It became immediately obvious that the small building outside was just the entrance to Henry’s real laboratory, which seemed to be underground. Far underground, Aodh amended.

The hallway led downwards at a gentle angle, switching back to lead even further down. The path itself was interesting and unlike anything Aodh had ever seen.

The walls were smooth, earthen, almost like the surface of a plate for eating. Regular recesses in the walls sported domes of glass that offered pale light. The illumination was dim, but more than enough to see by while descending underground. Aodh recognized what the walls looked like, too. He was reminded of what Henry had done to the rock walls back in the Gobskulls caverns.

At regular intervals, huge double doors were recessed into the hallway walls. Aodh had missed them at first, but after he noticed, their purpose was clear. They were defensive measures. If each barrier was closed and locked, it would make descending deeper into the laboratory very difficult for anyone that didn’t have Henry’s unique magic power.

Majordomo Ellen walked nervously, taking everything in with obvious awe. She held a stick with a socket for a magic stone on the bottom end, and a ball of glass on the top that emitted a pale light. Aodh had never seen such a thing before, and assumed that Henry had made it for her.

How had he done all this in two days? Aodh was shocked. He quickly glanced at Lady Tanushree and verified that yes, even she seemed impressed.
