Whispers of Mhynt and Nova

[Ch06] Darker (Nova & Mhynt Finale, part 1)
    • Nova found himself stepping into the next floor with one Mhynt missing, and the landscape abruptly shifting to that of a dusty city of black obsidian and purple-leafed trees. Shadowy creatures manned stalls for commercial needs, passing out alien, darkened foods to other, shadowy creatures, but several of them, with their beady white eyes, stared at Nova with apprehension. None wanted to make direct eye contact with him.

    . . . alone . . . empty.

    Nova found that he had a new item in his bag: A mundane notebook. It had, on the front, the plain wording of "Errands."

    You there? . . . Nova . . . cold . . . dry . . .

    The air was stagnant. The atmosphere, oppressive. Perhaps some of it, to Nova, was familiar. Yet there was a heightened sense of heavy, cold darkness about it that made it... different.

    . . . nobody around . . . hello?

    • Mhynt!

    Nova had stopped narrating anything that would sound familiar to her. One simple word was enough to convey his worry for her, though.

    ... Assuming that really was him. It was tough to tell on this floor. How long had the two been separated for, anyway?

    Mhynt's first instinct might have been to try and follow the voice, but it wouldn't do her any good. It was coming from all around her. So, definitely dungeon, right?

    ... are you? Can you hear... don't... you...

    Well, one thing was for certain. Those heavy chains around her limbs? The thick, odorless black tar underfoot? Those weren't there before.

    Pristine red chains weighed Mhynt down. Even as they brushed against the tar, it didn't stick to the chains. They practically sparkled in the darkness.

    • Nova walked across the dark stone ground, swiveling his head back and forth. It seemed a bit darker down here. Did that mean he'd gone down another level? There were mixed messages about the dungeon's mental challenges sometimes booting out delvers based on... something. He really wasn't sure what.

    "Mhynt?" he called. With his Dark Memory in place, he couldn't even rely on the glow his colored parts usually offered. "You still there? What was that about Owen?" He'd gotten tired of talking with repetitive words.
