"No prob. But mind me, this is something only the residents know, for their own good and for the pact made in its own time with the first Spencers who set afoot on this island.
"So, once upon a time, Wolves Lycaons and Rabbits lived together in peace and harmony. They were civilized, and there was room and food for everyone.
"But then the resources started diminishing under the growing population, and eventually friends became bitter enemies. At first, wolves and lycaons fought over cattle, but when that too became insufficient, they both turned against the rabbits.
"The rabbits fought a lost war, they weren't prepared to fight the carnivores' hordes, so they used their talents first to hide themselves from sight, and then fled down here, in the bowels of the island..." each step brought the pair closer to the end of the tunnel. A faint blue glow came from there...
"They waited here the end of the war, and they survived, in the dark, far from the sun, generation after generation. They lived on, but the toll they paid..." Lyla shook her head, a sad expression washing over her."

RandomGeekNamedBrent wrote:"What exactly will that entail?" Buster asked, suddenly feeling as though he'd signed up for more than he bargained for. All he wanted was to learn an exercise or two to build muscle, and now there's spiritual stuff involved?
"It will entail just peace. You proved you can fight for your mate, wouldn't you give out your soul for him? For you see, there's always spiritual stuff involved, young brethren," the shaman said, chuckling.

Anubis was led toward the entrance...
...of a chamber. of couse, a much larger place than the door suggested. Here, by the games of light of countless torches and mirrors that shone like so many starts, row after row of furs sat at their desks, patiently writing with quills, in an unbroken silence. The tall walls were covered with rolls of parchments.
"The chamber of knowledge," Erebus said, his voice unable to break that silence.
"Here people like you use their sight to record what time has to offer. And yet, you are the first one to come from a certain future, while here we can record only the past and the present. You will make a fine addition."

Civilization wrote:Tutter let out an amused huff, "If you would believe it would be profitable then he might just give a little extra. But how do you plan on finding anything out if the locals won't talk and there is much left to comprehend?"
"There is one thing left..." Spencers said, stopping at the center of the plaza, which displayed a golden, large four-pointed stars, with each arrow a different color -blue, red, purple and green.
Ready to blow your mind?"
