God Is A Game Designer - 76 C75 Sengi Situation

Fifteenth of Growth of the Year 997 – Inside the Sengi Underway

Auryn felt the air sweeping past the caravans as they had spent the last few days in the underway, without Nathan this journey took even more time than expected after a few collapses of the old tunnel systems which had caused many delays.

The entire underway patrolled by the guards from the Sengi underway making it safer for all. Auryn noticed rather quickly that most of the people greeting her inside this labyrinth of underground tunnels were all Dark Elves and Dwarfs.

Auryn had received information during her time inside the Vortex about the Sengi underway. Hearing about the fact that the people living inside Sengi underway city were survivors and previous prisoners of war from the battle between Draxus and Celpha

The empire had taken them and just dumped them into the Vortex after communications had broken down between both the nations. The pows having fled together as a group to form this nation as far into the territory as possible.

The area around them filled with ancient statues that looked worn down due to the amount of time left without maintenance or any care looking after it at all.

Each statue had some historical value with each one being a historical figure carved into the stone. Sadly with the amount of time passing it was almost impossible to tell which each character was meant to be and even in some cases it was also impossible to determine the gender or race.

Auryn sat beside Kaye with Kai in the back. Auryn had never seen Kai get so agitated when she was asked to stay with this group instead of going along with Nathan. She could have sworn that this Wardancer would have escaped the first night and pursued the man.

“Missing him?”

Kaye responded as she kept her eyes on the path ahead, the carriage forward carrying all of Denoth’s items including himself. Her eyes were peeking over to Auryn as she saw such an intense face.

“Well, yes. Nathan is critical to us all. He has given me the power to resolve an issue and let me fellow elves no longer suffer. He keeps saving and helping people without asking all too much in return. He is a pillar that we will all need. I need it to be sure.”

Auryn spoke with confidence about him, her eyes almost glowing with passion as she remembered all the times he had helped them, her heart beating with the same enthusiasm as she smiled.

“It seems like you have feelings for him, do not tell me you have fallen head over heels for him. Do you Love him?”

Auryn felt her cheeks getting hot as she put some thought into it, hands coming together as she felt the flames rising in her cheeks as the caravan continued on the journey.

“I suppose I do. It’s a pointless feeling as I know he feels something different towards me, teacher, to a student or maybe a father to a daughter. He is the creator god after all, and I doubt I will be able to shake that feeling from him.”

Kaye felt rather sad at this point, having gotten Auryn to admit her feelings and then trying to kill them in the next sentence. She held onto the reins as she looked to her with a big smile. “Well, I’m rooting for you. I’m sure you can win his heart. My mother had to do the same for my father. Pester them till they finally give in and are forced to love you back.”

Auryn stared at Kaye as she spoke those words, feeling the whole concept of wearing someone down till they love you being a rather strange concept.

“Your family are rather bizarre. Thank you though for trying to help me. Tin-can”

Kaye let out a breath as she heard the nickname, feeling rage coming over her as she wanted to turn around and strangle Auryn so she could never spread this horrible nickname ever again.

“Nathan told me.”

Auryn responded and laughed as she watched Kaye shout in her mind, cursing Nathan with every fibre of her being.

“I know you all are having fun back there. Just to let you know we are arriving at the main gateway now.”

Both women stopped laughing and arguing with each other as the turned to look toward the main gateway to the actual city.

The Sengi Underway was an extensive collection of massive ancient tunnels that led to many other locations. Each shaft was roughly half a kilometre wide by the same wide. The path in the middle approximately only being about one-quarter of a kilometre in length as the sides were both drainage and areas with large statues build to add some flavour to the tunnels.

Reaching the main gateway, both Auryn and Feya gasped as they looked up at the two large empowering statues that stood outside the gate, two figures: one a dwarf and the other a Dark elf shaking hands as they stared into each other’s eyes.

The gateway itself is impressive as it was a massive metal gateway that seemed large enough to allow a giant through the Archway. The gate’s construction had written and scribed iron as the main body, along with the outside layers of gold and Mythril which also had runes and other magical symbols layered within it.

Several guards came from a small tunnel to the right of the gateway, coming over to the caravans as they spoke to both parties.

“Welcome to the city of Sengi. Before we allow you to enter, we must proceed with magical examination and truth-testing to see if you are a spy from the empire or not.”

Both Kaye and Auryn stared at each other for a moment before the guard. Such a procedure was usually an invasion into one’s mind, and even the empire was careful using such matters inside the territory.

“Worry not, if you are not spies then you have nothing to worry about.”

The dark elven male approached them both, spear in hand as he looked them both over, eyes lasting a moment to long on Auryn’s figure as he was rather affected by her looks.

“If you are a spy, then pray to whatever god you hold dear. You will meet them soon enough.”
