'I certainly don't have a clue. And yes, there are a lot of groups that do hide underground, but most of them have adapted to living underground full time and are able to thrive, whereas us on the other hand...'

 "Me and my kin have always been better above ground."

'Same. I'd get lost in the twisting underground labyrinths where everything is grey, shady, and looks the same. Give me a burning desert every day of the week'

"I agree. Though, I have a thing for labyrinths." He smiles.

'I shouldn't be surprised, should I?'

"Maybe not."

'What brings you here, anyway? It's a vast wilderness out there'

"Wisdom, if that doesn't make me sound old. Master told me that it hides in the most peculiar of places."

'Wisdom? Now that's something I haven't heard of in a while'

The evening sun slowly begins to set on the horizon, painting the sky in beautiful shades of orange and red and violet as the shadows of the surrounding ruins grow longer and longer.

In the distance, the sounds of the buzzing crickets and cicadas grow in volume, the little insects panicking as they rush under the cover of darkness.

The sounds of faint whispers are carried on the breeze as shadows darker than the surrounding twilight slither and flow across the ground, looking for prey.

Axel seems visibly worried. "If any of ya were planning on goin' outside, now's not the time. Effluvia is on the prowl."

'Effluvia? Do I want to know what that is?'

 "Effluvia?"

"Living poison gas. Little pieces of the STORM that go off and kill what they can. They don't like light, though, so the lamps 'round camp should keep 'em at bay. Should."

'Ah, that stuff. Where I'm from we call it the Darkness. Nasty little bioweapon'

"Come on. We should all hit the hay. There's spare beds in the RVs. We've got a big day ahead of us." Axel walks into one of the RVs (the same one with the pot), and closes the door.

Ben sleeps on the floor of the RV. He hasn't earned comfort, not now, not ever. But at least it's nicer than a damp underground tunnel or a rock in the desert.

Marcial sits in the middle of the camp and meditates. He's listening, not liking to idea of gas killing him in his sleep in one of those RV's.

Ben watches, making sure Marcial is ok
