Explorers And Ruins

[roundpinkpuff]

(Continued from here.)
[Kirby continues to fall. He fell for quite some time. Maybe he shouldn't have kept digging. Are Rainbowheart and Critter still sleeping up above him?
When he finally lands, he discovers that, one, he doesn't have the Animal Ability anymore, and two, he's in a large area, that would look like a garden if it wasn't underground, with stone tiles surrounded on three sides with expanses of flowers and plants, and vine-wrapped pillars, pillars that reach very high up, probably to where he was before he fell. On the pillars seem to be embossed carvings in the shape of fairly big eyes. The stone eyes seem to glow rather brightly in the dark, lighting up the area, but the light doesn't quite reach the ceiling Kirby fell from. If he looked closer, he would see that the stone eyes have lit torches sticking into them.
The doorway on the fourth side led into a hallway, floors and walls made of stone, and totally blacked out of light.
Kirby looked back up to where he fell from. Should he float back up? Should he explore the area? What if his friends get worried for him and try to find him?
What has he gotten himself into this time?]

(A tiny pheasant nudges the strange human to get his attention)

[ninja_archaeologist]

Hmm?
[The man looks to the pheasant nudging him during the puffball, Kirby's greeting.]
Oh, hello there!

[the_animal_lover]

(The pheasant wants to greet him,too)
Um,hi...I'm Rainbwheart.

[ninja_archaeologist]

[He nods to the two of them.] My name is Lemeza Kosugi. I'm an archaeology professor. Nice to meet you two.

[the_animal_lover]

(She nods back)

What are you studying now??

Sorry for late.

[ninja_archaeologist]

These underground ruins. There may have been a point in time before the concept of civilization was even thought of, and the key to finding that point might be here.
[If Lemeza finds what can trump the Secret Treasure of Life, he may finally be able to best his dad.]

It's OK.

[the_animal_lover]

I s-see,me and K-Kirby just fell...Th-through the floor!

(Rainbwheart is a shy bird,but her voice is normal when talking to animals)

[roundpinkpuff]

And ended up in that garden area back there. [Kirby points behind him with his stubby arm.]

[ninja_archaeologist]

[Lemeza looks towards where Kirby is pointing. That's the direction he was heading to.]
Did you manage to find anything of note in that garden when you fell?

[the_animal_lover]

(Rainbwheart looks at Lemeza)

Wh-what note??

[ninja_archaeologist]

I meant, did you find anything important?

[the_animal_lover]

(She shakes her head)

Mmm,not really.But we d-did find something....Eyes..On the wall.

[roundpinkpuff]

Yeah. What's with the eyes?

[ninja_archaeologist]

I don't know yet.
Seems to be the first mystery of many.

[the_animal_lover]

(She nods and then she looks surprised.She steps back)

Wh-what is that??

[ninja_archaeologist]

[Lemeza turns around.]

[roundpinkpuff]

[And Kirby notices.
(What is it?)]

[the_animal_lover]

(A huge dragon looks at the pheasant, pink puffball and the human.Rainbwheart seems to have a fear of dragons.So Rainbwheart screams)

A-a dr-dr-DRAGON!!!!RUN!!

(Rainbwheart runs as quickly as she can)

[hugeclawsblindcreature]

(The unfamiliar dragon approaches to the three creatures. It doesn't seem that this creature is attacking anybody.The ghastly
creature nudges the tiny pheasant)

[ninja_archaeologist]

[Lemeza readies his trusty whip and one of his shurikens, the only sub-weapon he's found so far.]

[hugeclawsblindcreature]

(The creature looks at the cornered pheasant but he stares at the tiny bird until he approaches as the human when he takes his weapons out)
