Introduction: Blast from the Future
She sent the wand forward into the cave and its light gave them a brief impression of the irregular interior. Stalactites and stalagmites joined in an embrace that gave an eerie feel. The interior divided itself with wet, light coloured pillars that resembled the oesophagus of a giant animal. “The resemblance is uncanny.” said the warrior; who had once been swallowed alive by a sea creature. He had carved his way out with his axe and while the rest of the story brought a smile to his face it turned the stomach of his companions. Good thing they only had breakfast today.
With the Sun so low on the horizon any openings in the cave were unable to gather light. The sorceress wand made things easier but as they interred themselves in this mucous tomb they realised that there was an unusual flora that emitted a dim but steady light that enabled them to see around. The flowers even felt warm to the touch as the archer noticed. He didn’t dare pluck one out. While the petals felt warm they shared a wet layer on the surface that made his skin crawl. His hand instinctively retracted, he tried to clean the liquid from his fingers and obsessively kept an eye on them; afraid of unspeakable consequences.
At the end of the first gallery of rooms they found several branches dividing like bronquioles. They considered splitting up, actually, the warrior though it a good idea so that there would be more fun for him. The rest unanimously rejected that plan. They instead looked forward into each entrance with the help of the wand. One was elected as it showed the most abundance of flora; in the understanding that with more light they would be better prepared to face whatever it was that they would find there. A few steps in and they realised that there were simply too many flowers and that they couldn’t advance without stepping on them.
The warrior chose to charge forward with his axes to clean the way but he tripped and fell down without venturing far. He rolled a couple of times and then sat, wet with a viscous layer over him and a twisted mouth beneath it. There was no napkin that could clean him enough and he received no spare ones: both sorceress and archer had their attention on something else. They were looking at the armour that had started the incident. With the wands’ light they recognised the insectoid shape and also that it wasn’t hollow. “How can anyone wear this?” wondered the archer. The sorceress had seen something like this in books only. “It’s no armour, it’s a machine. Much more advanced than any I have ever seen.” She started to search for some mechanism to turn it on. She didn’t need to, it was very much conscious.
The eyes enlarged the artificial retinas and focused on the sorceress’s. She stared with mouth open. The machine tried to move but only managed to shake its bent frame. “Unit six report. Followed the creature to the cavern. Lost track. Took samples of new life specimens found. Ambush when reaching beyond the main gallery.” The voice felt weak and materialised with the feel of lightning. “Radar detection: large object approaching. Shape identified: hunted target. Initializing weapons and defence systems… Error.” They looked at themselves, they didn’t understand everything but enough was clear. Each prepared for a monumental confrontation in their own way: praying, chanting or inspecting equipment; they were ready.
“Weapons systems: failure. Defence systems: cloaking initialized.” The machine disappeared before them but there was something strange in the air where it had been. It looked as if there was a haze over the squashed plants. “Target acquired. Self-destruct initiated: five second countdown commence.” The sorceress face distorted and both valiant warrior and calm archer found their inner selves shaken by her visage. “Out, we must leave. Now!” They ran, not as fast as they wanted, not without falling some times. The whole cavern shook with each step of whatever the machine was awaiting. They arrived to a dark night of few stars. They looked behind with the earth shaking behind them. A strong explosion brought the whole hill down. They never told this tale, not until much time had happened and always expecting to find more than they knew. They found few bits of information but time had still some surprises in store for them.
