plan

Harshly, I was shoved into a small room, made fully of stone which caved in like an arch above and beside me lay, yet again, a stone bed covered with a textile which was soft.

my heart beat profoundly as my mask had been taken off.

Around me, I could feel the atmosphere cold and dangerous even though there was fire everywhere and flames lit up in every corner.

This place, it felt eerily nostalgic. However, I couldn't remember from where I had experienced something like this...

The next thing in my mind was, was to try and free myself from this room and find the exit asap, but I knew it wasn't going to be easy. Not only were there evil people lying in every corner ready for escapees, but also hounds and dragons meters high flying and guarding what seemed as an underground empire.

I tried my floating ability; it didn't work. I guessed that it was because I wasn't in the palace above ground, so it was going to be hard to escape silently.

I slumped my body on the floor, thinking of what to do next, as drops of water tapped on the floor every second and ran down the walls of stone. The dense smell of humidity in the air made me feel unsafe, my cloths were soaked and my hair was uncomfortably sticking onto my face and back.

Suddenly, I heard people unlock my door and walk in hastily to lay down what seemed as though a tray of food.

"Excuse me, where am I?"

I tried to be nice; the person wearing a black mask just replied back to me with a sneer.

In an attempt for my life, I snaked behind that persons back and strangled them. If I had to be honest, I was scared. I had never killed anyone, let alone touch any stranger, but this... This depended on my life and I willing to do anything to save myself.

I wanted to go back home.

To my sister.

As soon as the person collapsed, I hurriedly got into the clothes of that servant and walked out, as if everything was normal.

Sweat dripped down my forehead but I tried to remain as calm as possible to avoid any misunderstandings, of course, that's not what we need right now.

As I exited my room, I quickly comprehended that this was another underground world, thousands of meters wider and taller than that of the heavenly peacefully world. There were stone paths carved inside the cave and there were multiple floors. In the center of every floor, there was a dragon, keeping watch of all the surrounding, keeping peace in this world. This place, it was a prison. The ground floor and 'basement' which was extremely big, consisted of rows of rooms, that kept single people. They were messy and dirty, different to the people that roamed around, perhaps servants, which wore clean black clothes and a mask. The woman looked more like worriers and had their long black hair in, either high ponitailed plaits or a high bun. The men were tall and muscular and had their hair cut short but still reasonably long.

The second floor was a massive dining room with a table a little shorter in length as the cave itself, and 4 meters wide. They had candles lit along the table.

They also had dragon drawing over the walls and black stones hanging from the ceilings.

There was a smaller section for normal people to eat and a large kitchen at the back of the hall, secluded from everyone else.

The third floor had the servants rooms, and was just a long corridor, nothing much in particular.

I had heard that the fourth floor have all the meeting rooms for those with higher statuses, managers etc. That floor was decorated a little more extravagantly and, apparently, was forbidden from normal servants as it was an invasion of privacy.

The fifth floor was the training zone for all martial arts and it was a fairly large hall, however, there was also a gym for extra practices which people are obliged to attended to once every week to keep their ability and agility in par with the 'boss's' expectations. Both rooms had very tall ceiling and were lit up very well and, yet again, black stone hung high from the ceilings.

The sixth floor was for executive people, I heard that they were helpers for the boss, financial managers and all major people. Also, their family members were there. The rooms were more like apartments and were different depending on your social status within this massive underground world.

The seventh floor was a hospital area where only very injured people attended and were split into 4 sections, servants and bodyguards, middle class, upper social status and the last one was executively just for the boss. Wow.....

Finally, the eight floor. The eight floor. It was the so called majestic area, all one floor belonging just to the boss, it was really big and no one could go up there unless it was his assistant, or personally invited up there. You also had to access with a special item which only a few people had.

I could only go to the ground floor, first and second floor therefore, all the other stuff was just information I fished out to help my plan of escaping the cave.

The second day, I had a fully plan of the cave with all exits and toilets for reference.

It wasn't going to be easy, but I was going to try.
