Chapter 56

Vincent awakened to a dark sky above him. For a moment he thought he was dreeming again but than he remembered where he was. It was the Nolight Abyss. Once everyone was awake again they continued their decent down into the depths. 

Vincent: "Is the Nolight Abyss endless?"

James: "I't is not endless but its probably as close as you can get to endless." 

It took an unknown amount of time until the trio could see the start of the next layer of the Nolight Abyss. 

Vincent: "Is that... ground?"

James nodded his head.

James: "You are technically right. that down there is the surface of the next layer."

Vincent: "I've never seen something so far away from me before. Its like looking down from a cliff of a mountain yet I'm higher up than any mountain." 

James: "It is indeed very far away. But since we can see it that means our goal is nearby"

Vincent: "What is our goal?"

Victoria: "Our that down there is the goal. we're supposed to reach the next layer and than stop there."

Even though they could see the distant ground bellow it felt like they weren't getting closer, no matter how many steps they took, yet eventually they made it. 

*CLANK*

Vincent finally wasn't standing on and stairs. His surroundings looked like a endless floor that enveloped everywhere the eye could see. with the only visible landmark being a stairway that s lead up in to the abyss above. 

James: "welcome to the top of the layer we won't be going much deeper from here on." 

Vincent: "Is it really possible to go any deeper?"

James: "lets give it a go and you tell me."

James led the trio walked forwards into the abyss Infront. after taking over 1000 footsteps each the trio found a gaping hole on the ground. Not that the ground could truly be called that as it was made out of a mixture of both the same material as the stairs were made off and occasional patches of something that resembled metal. The trio carefully climbed down into the hole. Once on inside it was clear they were in some sort of corridor. The ground bellow them was shaped in a way similar to some sort of metal cage or net. 

*Drip Drip Drip* 

Vincent knew of caves containing water but he didn't expect to see water drip down in the corridor. The water dripped in a slow yet constant pace. This region looked like a mixture of nature and something very artificial.

James: "I think we've seen enough. It is time to go."

Vincent and Victoria Nodded as James lifted them out of the hole one by one until they were both outside and than he climbed out by himself.

James: "Vincent this here is a major secret of the kingdom you must never speak of this place to anyone even to me and Victoria. Even if you think you are in private never mention this place, never talk about this place, and unless some one else is taking you here also do not ever try to come to this place again."

Vincent had never seen his father so serious in his life.

Vincent: "I shall never talk of this place or let anyone find out about it in any way."

James: "Good. One day when you grow up you may be privy to more information on the Nolight Abyss. This is your first introduction to this place and is also Victoria's first time coming here even if she has heard of this place before. Since we have done our goals here i think its time for us to go home"

Victoria: "That would be a long way up."

Vincent: "How long have we even been down here?"

James: "A day and a half, and it'll be another day and a half until we reach the exit."
