The Inner Sun
| Page 43 [2008-11-10 08:16:15 – The Inner Sun – Bo.] Not wanting to stay any longer than he must, Bootes hastily searches for the documents. The House makes Bootes feel ill at ease and unsettled. While checking one chamber, he sees the remains of a fire and, upon further exploration, discovers a strange door. Click >here< to help Bootes figure out what to do. |
| Page 44 [2008-11-16 09:54:17 – The Inner Sun – Noo.] Relaxing a bit, No One picks up the puppy, which licks his hands. Suddenly, the dark land turns into a field of golden wheat. A shimmering bubble surrounds him and the field. Through its transparent layer, though, he can see the horrific landscape outside. No One stands, gaping in amazement of the peaceful, still, and beautiful setting. |
| Page 45 [2008-11-16 09:55:27 – The Inner Sun – Noo.] No One and the puppy march to the edge of the field to investigate. He gingerly touches the bubble with his finger; it bounces and wiggles but remains intact. No One laughs a bit and looks toward the sky, which appears bright and blue within this separated space. The puppy barks and runs around No One’s legs, seeking his attention. |
| Page 46 [2008-11-16 09:56:34 – The Inner Sun – Bo.] Bootes has some difficulty with the locks, unsure of the best way to use the key. He knows what he sees, but somehow it’s just not all coming together. Eventually, however, the first lock releases. He continues and manages to open all the locks on the door. He breathes a sigh of relief and smiles. |
| Page 47 [2008-11-17 04:24:13 – The Inner Sun – Bo.] With the vault door now open, Bootes searches for what he knows must be there. He marvels at the many books sealed within the vault, all of which are ancient. Yet, he knows they are also irrelevant. Opening a marked wooden box, Bootes sees what he needs. He leaves the vault while stuffing the documents into his pack. “To Finally be out of Here…” |
| Page 48 [2008-11-17 06:32:25 – The Inner Sun – Bo.] Bootes fights to keep his head down as he travels the path out of Necrovion. He is excited and eager to pour over everything he has found so far. The sky seems brighter somehow and the wind almost warm. The Howling Gates appear quickly; Bootes smiles and laughs. |
| Page 49 [2008-11-19 02:16:02 – The Inner Sun – Iam.] I am Bored’s search of the shelves and remaining books ends fruitlessly. He returns to the ashes of the fire and kicks it about. He thinks to himself, “Did I burn it? Oh well, I wonder if I can get out of here?” I am Bored turns and wanders away, completely oblivious to the newly opened vault behind him. |
| Page 50 [2008-11-19 02:20:32 – The Inner Sun – Bo.] The steps to his study seem longer and steeper than the last time Bootes walked them. Exhausted from his return journey, he nearly collapses upon entering. He unpacks his belongings and lies on his couch, a deep and dreamless sleep quickly overtaking him. He awakens several hours later, refreshed, and sends a message to Loreroot. “We Have a lot of Work to Do!” |
| Page 51 [2008-11-19 02:32:12 – The Inner Sun – Iam.] Wandering through the darkened corridors, I am Bored tucks his prize under his arm. He hums and talks to himself, barely paying attention to anything other than his own chatter. “This book is awesome! I want to read more of it! Where is a light when I need one? I wonder who started writing it…” His chatter continues as he walks on. |
| Page 52 [2008-11-19 03:01:57 – The Inner Sun – Noo.] No one lets himself fall backward into the soft wheat. The puppy jumps over No One and licks his face and hands. He gazes up at the blue sky above and sighs. As he watches the sky, it begins to darken. A large, pale orb appears amongst many sparkling dots. No One’s mouth goes slack at the sight and is left dumbfounded. |
| Page 53 [2008-11-19 19:51:30 – The Inner Sun – Noo.] Confused, but curious, No One stands and looks around. The sky appears to have been painted with jewels. The moon appears large, emitting a soft, iridescent light that illuminates the whole of the surrounding land. No One is in awe at the scene unfolding before him. As he looks of into the distance, he sees another, strange light. |
| Page 54 [2008-11-19 19:52:50 – The Inner Sun – Iam.] I am Bored pulls open a door and emerges from the tunnel. He races up the stairs, two at a time, entering a brightly lit room. Looking around, he finds a desk and comfortable chair. He sits and looks through his book, gazing joyfully at all the pictures and their descriptions. “Archer, Barren Soul, Knator… This book has all the creatures in it! Wow!!” |
