[The path sharply widens and again, wide space stretches out, devouring the edges of the torchlight. A few crumbling ruins stand here or there, only hints of what once was. A platform or a pillar, an inset depression in the land...

Stones scatter out, and a few low hanging plants with vividly blue berries hang low from the rubble or climb the occasional stalactite.

The lizard seems to be heading towards a wall up ahead... and by the familiar scent, even Scowl might be able to pick up at this distance, there is wall cabbage and berries up ahead.

Though something is strange about the mammoth rock ahead, something about it isn't taking to the torchlight as normal stone...]

	[So there's more food up here . . . Losing interest in the lizard now that he can smell what it's probably after, he diverts to pass closer to the rock ahead for a better look.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[As you get closer, you see... it seems to be a man made structure. There are signs of wagons, of broken surface where great, heavy materials were dragged... It is carved into something of a slow, arching curve upwards.

There isn't the seamless workmanship of ants. You can see where tools worked and where misjudgments were left and simply worked around.

... But the most striking part of it... is the many shades of blue painted on it's huge curved surface. Here and there, streaks of white are done in a cartoonish manner... There's something uneven about it, something basically flawed about the sky painted there, that makes it seem like its a work of imagination or stories rather than something... anyone had actually seen.

Littered around the base are a few flat stones with rounded depressions and blue stains marking them...

The rock, the further you follow it, becomes larger, taller, arched more.. as if it, if finished, was to surround the city.]

... the sky.

	[Is silent for a moment, a slight motion letting him glide towards the rock face... He reaches out and hesitates just a fraction of an inch away from the surface.] .. How many generations... do you think...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	. . . At least three or four. Long enough for no one left to show them the right look. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Nods... and brushes his fingers along the paint.] ... Dreams of a sky are a natural thing, once you've heard of it, I suppose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We can't afford to stop, really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know. . . . We'll get back there again. I'll make sure of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mm. [Lets his hand drop and circles back.] I know. That's probably the only thing I don't worry about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Laughs] You could try. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	righthandsmoke 2011-01-22 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	I would! Should we go further than this today? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	be_my_chum 2011-01-22 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	Hmm. Lets bring some food back and we'll take the other parts tomorrow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	righthandsmoke 2011-01-22 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	Sounds good. You can smell the cabbage too, right? We should take some of those blue berries back to see if they're edible too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We should find some river lizard to test it on instead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good idea! We can figure out taste after lethality is estimated. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	righthandsmoke 2011-01-22 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	Right, and if it is lethal then it'll be good for other things too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The berries are, of course, the first stop, taking a bit of time and triangulation to locate the clumps of them again.] ... Think this will be enough for now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
