*It is the afternoon, the sun is two third's away from rise, chirping birds and small rustles of woodland creatures as well as a mystical unexplainable aura surrounds the senses, for whichever reason you're traveling the woods on a pre-made path when there you sense the presence of another night, similar to your fashion*
Ruby
*The Dark Knight was confidently walking along the pathway in the Steep Woods as it was good old days. He had travelled quite a lot before going back here. No more burden. No more problem. His footprints printed deep into the muddy ground while a long sword on his hip kept making clacking sound every time he took a step. He occasionally looked around and his above... The sun was slowly setting at the West already.*

"That said, the powerful, gorgeous Knight did not hesitate and keeps advancing further into the woods..." *Severus chuckled, sometimes narrating for yourself was very pleasing.*
Paul
*Walking on all fours like an exorcism film, Eynu clanked and paddled towards The Dark Knight* "Do you hear that?" *Their voice, unnatrual and sharp calls towards the darkn knight, trying to bring his attention* "Do you hear that?"

*They slowly got up, his back bent backwards, hands and head limped back as well like strands of hair rather than fully functional human body parts, Eynu realised they're gonna need a lot more to solve an issue*
Ruby
"Huh?" *Hear what? Severus thought, what was that sound. Who was that? He looked around to check and suddenly see a strange stranger.*

"Hear... What?" *As expected, that strange figure could not scare the Dark Knight at all, or even if it didn't try to scare anyone, a normal man with a fainted heart would already collapse. The Dark Knight stopped for a while to see what that Stranger wanted.*
Paul
"Don't you hear the sounds the gorund make? There's a metal cave nearby, and we're lose to the entrance, follow me knight" *Without any other explanation they crawls on four, putting their body against the soil to sense the vibration, slowly leading it to crawl east with a -24 degree divination to the right, their hands spread like chicken-feet using their cape to signal "Follow my lead", to Eynu there was nothing to question about the knight, only help to gain and a mutual reward*
Ruby
*What on Earth was that... It supposed to be a peaceful night, but it turned into a strange meeting with a weird knight on four crawling around like a spider. Should Severus believe him..? He hesitated a bit. A suprise attack? An Ambush? Entrance to a metal cave?*

*It took the Dark Knight a while to really decide what to do. The Figure was moving further away.*

"Tch."

*He clicked his tongue and withdraw his sword quickly. Right after that, he started to jog swiftly to follow the strange person.*
Paul
*They kept creepy-crawling a distance of around 200[m] and eventually stop dead in their tracks, their bristles that would resemble a knight's helmet's decoration vibrated excitedly* "Yes, Yes, Yes, that's what the locals spoke of when they mentioned maddening ticks in their dreams that they could not explain, a frequency so low humanoids can't hear it, but it vibrates nonetheless" *They made a few laps round a circle with a seeming diameter of d = 6.291[m]* 

"Say knight, how strong are you? You like treasure don't you? How about making a strong impact here?"
Ruby
"What? Sounds?.."

*After a while of walking and some weird movement, the really odd figure asked Severus to do something really... Seemingly impossible without magic.*

"You know what? I'm strong, I like treasures just like anyone, but I am not a super miner." *He pointed at the figure.*

*After saying so, he knelt down and start to use his gloved hands to dig the ground.*

"What about you giving me a hand?"

*He did not seem to get tired at all even though he was digging really quickly.*
Paul
*Eynu tilted their hips, their eyes focused on their digging, inspiring them to do the same* 
"Good idea Knight, that way we won't have to use sheer force and we could get to the origin point" *They started digging too, with time, sun moving and patience, the earth slowly became unearthed, many small creatures such as snakes, scorpions and bugs escaping from the rubble*

*After many hours passed, finally, the digging came to a conclusion when the dirt crumbled further, to thin to sustain itself and revealing a broken metallic hole with sharp edges, explaining the rough diameter* 
"Look at what we've made dear knight, seems we've revealed the source" 
*The hole wasn't tube like, seemed completely dark and had a strong echo, there was something a big unnerving about the blackness: as if simply staring at it would make one fall into it, that's how deep the dark looked like*
Ruby
"A... Secret base?"

*Severus stood straight up and brushed the dirt off his hands. Though some would still stick to it.*

"What would you do with that?"

*With his sword, he swung it near the hole to see if there was any trap waiting to tear them apart. Would it lead to hell? He slightly chuckled as his glowing eyes stared inside the deep dark hole.*

"I wouldn't be suprised if you tell me to jump into it for treasure."
Paul
"You can follow me if you like" *Their limbs suddenly twisted in a weird way as they used metamorphosis, turning into strange slimy strings, using them to search for attachable surfaces in the wall and immediately beginning to crawl into the strange abyss's ceiling, seeming unfazed by the darkness*
"If you have any light source i suggest using it, will make this trip much more efficient" *They said crawling deeper and deeper*
Ruby
*That was getting more and more interesting as the odd figure transformed into strings. Well Severus was quite impressive.*

"Light huh? I wonder where I can find light in such a situation..."

*He grabbed his hand in the air but nothing appeared. Obviously he did not have any touch in store, no any magical stone that could emit light. Such a bad situation... He had no choice but decide between leaving or continuing. Old said that you would not get what you wanted if you did not risk it. But at what cost? That was an unprecedented adventure to the abyss that Severus could not expect of. The moon was there already and howling sound suddenly came from a far. It seemed like that the predators were getting out of their dens for a hunting session.*

"Well! I guess I have my answer."

*He clenched his hand and then slowly released it. With an unnecessary deep breath, his hands slowly grew some sort of spikes. It would be useful to climb down there compared to using nothing. There were some spikes growing on the feet as well. The Dark Knight was getting it really serious this time.*

*However, he could not have a plan B for himself and that stranger just in case something bad might happen. Once again, he grabbed the thin air and suddenly it condensed into a mist before forming a long thick rope. With that, he tied it to his hip professionally before looking for a reliable stick to tie the other end of the rope there. Finally, he forcefully pin the stick into the ground. Everything was prepared.*

*Waiting for that person to move a little bit deeper, Severus carefully not to strip himself and slowly pin his spiky fists into the muddy ground, then the old metal wall.*

"We're working together so I think it's best to know each other, right? I'm Severus Lavendrature, you can call Severus."

*His voice echoed inside the metal tube so he had to control the sound not to make it too loud.*
