The Abyss extended below for thousands of untold meters. Hundreds of thousands of Delvers have lost their life trying to become a part of the select special club. Very few made it past layer five. Layer six is where people started factoring in luck in their survival. Beyond that.. prayers.

She stared down at the inky black. This was supposed to be it. The final layer. There were only seven documented layers. Why is there now an opening to an eighth. Is there a ninth? A tenth? Did Bondrewd know? Wakuna? Srajo? Where were the other white whistles. Why was it just Ozen and you. Where was the child. Riko? This was her expedition. This was supposed to uncover who she was. What she was. Yet, she was gone. Along with the rest of the White Whistles. Her eyes matched the voidfilled blackness. Two pools of nothing. Two pools of blackness held the world in your eyes. That held love and affection for centuries.

She had always been very secretive about her final dive with Lyza. She said that Lyza was taken by the seventh layer. Though her tombstone, her whistle, it was nowhere to be seen. You've done your own expeditions down here and found nothing. No marking. No headstone. Nothing. Not even Bondrewd could get information out of her. She was solid as stone. She promised you that she would take that expedition to the grave with her.

"We should go back. I hope the others have returned to the Seeker Camp."

Her voice was flat. Montonitic. Deep. Especially for a womans voice.

She leaped up a few pillars of stone and obsidian before she turned to look down at you. She had complete control over her facial expressions. She was practically a blank slate. Never showing so much as a smile.
