Chapter Eleven

The door slammed shut behind Elara. Torches flickered to life, revealing a long, dimly lit tunnel. Elara squinted at the end of the hall, but couldn’t make out anything, except two rather dark blobs lying in wait for her.

“Hmm.” She frowned and reached up to unscrew the closest torch. As she took it down from its decorative sconce, her eyes opened wide.

“What is this?” She exclaimed. “This is a 60 Watt torch! Those were made obsolete like a zillion years ago.”

She clicked her tongue and opened up her inventory, spent a moment scrolling, and made a selection. With a loud pop, a box of fresh, 150 Watt torches appeared in front of her. She didn’t know if she would have enough, but it would be a start, and she couldn’t begin to properly assess the nature of the dungeon’s cleanliness until she had secured enough light to see by!

She tossed the inferior torch to the side and stuck the 150 Watt torch into the scone. It blazed to life with a blue-yellow brilliance that lit up the area much better. Of course, now, with two conflicting torch types, the light sorta hurt her eyes, so she nodded and struck forth.

“Alright. Here we go!”

She skipped along merrily as she went down one side and then the other, taking down the old torches and installing the new ones. When she was finished, she sighed in contentment, then went back and picked up all the old torches.

The rumors had it that the more powerful torches emitted toxic fumes, but if you couldn’t see where you were going what did it matter? She dusted off her hands on her dress and crossed her arms, appraising the passage once more.

It was positively filthy. The two previously shadowy blobs were now visible as lions, real live lions, though they looked more confused than upset at her intrusion into their lair. More importantly, they were covered in gunk.

Their noble fur was matted down against their bodies, their manes were snarled with burs and bones, and their teeth were yellower than the uniforms of House Orange, though slightly less yellow than the uniforms of House Yellow. They were disgusting!

Elara turned her attention to the dungeon itself. A thick layer of dirt and filth coated the floor, sometimes several inches of it. It appeared to largely be lion dung mixed with bones and blades and other things that lions couldn’t digest. There were a number of enormous hairballs, as well. The walls were splattered with old blood, and the ceiling was marred by a great many scratch marks, likely from warriors jumping up into the air to try and perform their signature power-moves against the beasts.

Elara tutted at the mess. “Alright, then! I’ve got my work cut out for me. Nothing to it, though, except to get to work! Lions, you just stay put, and I’ll deal with you once I have this floor scrubbed up. I just need… You wouldn’t happen to have a trash can around
