When Juuzou let go of the little man he could immediatly see how vicious he was against other commoners like him. Juuzou seemed a bit confused at first but went with it. A smirk proudly stood on his face as the boy had his knife at the ready while claiming he didn't wan't help and only wanted to go after the girl.
"Oi oi little man, I wasn't gonna help ya. You only had to cool your head for a second. See, attacking that old frail man at his age could really get you in trouble if something was to happen to him. That you want to go after the girl is not my problem as for now. You can go ahead and dive in just like everybody else without my commentary. So feel free! After you."
That man spoke with a smirk on his face, he did not care what this kid thought of him or would have come up with his mind to do to him in any fasion. Juuzou joked an awfull lot and would irritate loads of people with his talks. Juuzou held his arms in inviting manner towards the abyss as for the boy to follow. He waited for the boy to leave and turned around to see a petite girl in a simple dress stand in front of him. He gave a somewhat caught off guard look before swuating down onto his heels to level his eye sight with hers. He gently put hid hand on her head and patted her head to comfort her.
"Don't worry kiddo, we'll do our best."
As Luna grumpily put down the birds besides the man he did not even fret. He made no single move, it was like he was in complete trance. His eyes staring everlastingly forward as he patiencly waited for the few of them to arrive back at him. He could not care any more about some small matter like that.
It had been some time now since the brave boy had started decending. It would take about an hour by climbing with good gear to get to the first layer of the abyss. Night had already started to fall making the abyss inevitably growing darker then before. Despites the lack of sunlight there were still plenty of other sources of light in the abyss that would provide enough light to at least see most things properly and with the help of the full moon tonight there was almost not fretting.
The boy had stepped down onto the first platform of the first layer. The grassy platform seemed sturdy enough to set your house on so it was a safe spot to take a small brake for the muscle acing of all the climbing. The platform was decently sized and didn't seem to fall down at any moment. At the end of tbe platform a dim light of the flaming arrow could be seen standing in the ground. It had made its way up till here but seemed to have stopped with no sign of the girl in sight. There did seem to have been left another clue in the platform. The arrow had been decently on point but did seem to have been the only thing that had been stopped by the platform.
There was a big gaping hole in the end of the platform. It didn't seem like it would have always been there. The gaping hole had pierced right through the end of the platform. Despites the edge not looking so sturdy it would have taken more then a picaxe to break through. It did seem to have been the only clue regarding the girl. Following the angle of the hole down more would have been the wisest option for now. Upon further inspection the only conclusion came out that the hole was perfectly round shaped and didn't even look like the work of what any human could do. The adventure continues.
After dinner they had some play time where as most people would spend their time in their room resting. The kids had been completely drained of energy from looking for the others all day long. They even requested to start earlier tommorow as to make more progress of finding them. It did not take much longer for the night to overwhelm and turn of the lights. Everyone had been put to bed and was sung or read to their favorite song/book. It would comfort them to do stuff that their parents wouldn't be able to do any longer. For rags it would have been a song her mother would have sung to her on those lonely cold nights to comfort her from the misory they went through. They tried to make a warm night out of it.
The dim candle light of Chris his office still illuminated the hallway with a small warm light. You could quietly hear his pen scribling as he went through the daily reports and dairies he kept for the kids and himself. Sweat was on his forehead as could hear soft other sounds in the background of the room. They were light pants and cruel pain induced yelps softly voicing over the communication artifact. It had been going on for a while now. He could definitly not sleep sith such horrifying sounds coming from one of his children. It had only been this and crying. He was on the edge of his seat with each pant sounding. He knew there was something wrong but it was not clear what or where. It wasn't untill he could hear the sudden shifting of Karen and a loud hurted yell come from the communication artifact. It sounded like she had broken something and could not move, but for some reason she had been very quiet all this time. Chris was atleast glad she was still alive so he could still rescue her but he did not hear anything from Yuzu yet untill a loud terrified yell erupted over the artifact making Chris jump and dropp his pen and ink onto the ground.
"LEADER PL-"
"Yuzu..."
