A wide open area of flat, grassy land and rocky trenches, supposedly a wide range of ancient civilizations once lived here. Species that like wide, open areas, such as Gyrophants, Serraptors, and Sahound, thrive here, though only the agile survive. (+3 Speed)

Darkness, all around was cold and dark. Where ever this was, it smell of moist earth and cool salty air. "You will know, dóchenka. When it is time, when the sun's light is fading and the moon rises in blood you will know." She let those words revolve in her mind once more, turning them over and listening to them again. Her father hadn't said how she might know, only that she would. The walls of earth around her screamed of pain and hate, the soil had begun to smell of blood. Still she laid on the stone bed with her eyes closed, willing it to not be so. It would not silence, in fact as she laid there the screams grew louder in her ears over the roar of the distant ocean.
If it was really time, then why had her father not come back? He hadn't said he would, but she had always thought he would come and release her from this place when the time came. She had no idea how long she'd been here, had it been hours? Days? Weeks? Shuttering her mind went back to her father, smiling kindly at her when she'd accepted his words and stepped back from the hidden door which would guard her. Something wet ran down her cheek as she remembered him, his smile and his soft voice whenever he'd spoken to her. For a brief second she thought water must have been dripping down, maybe it was raining above. It wasn't raining, a quiet part of her mind knew that too. Would he be angry that she hadn't stayed longer here? Would he be disappointed when she came back home?


Bottles smashed, I raised my hand
How can you all even stand?
And why is there joy in this poison? Oh
Faking smiles and confidence
Driving miles to capture this excitement
I can't take anymore

You're never gonna get it
I'm a hazard to myself
I'll break it to you easy
This is hell, this is hell
You're looking and whispering
You think I'm someone else
This is hell, yes
I am in hell

With great care she sat up slowly, her body stiff as she did so. Bones cracked like they hadn't moved in years, but she assumed that was just the cold causing this effect on her. When she didn't feel light headed she slipped her feet over the side of the stone and let them rest against the cool earth floor, and waited for some kind of sound. None but that horrible screaming came through the walls, but she couldn't be sure of that. Zakiya rested there feeling no ill effect from resting in the cold, but simply thinking in what she assumed was silence. She wondered for a long time if she shouldn't lay back down, what if everything had just happened and only a few minutes had passed since the door had been shut. It wouldn't matter, Zakiya was convinced her father would understand once she spoke to him.

Just like that she had made up her mind, and let her body slid off the stone only to find her legs would not hold her. She collapsed to the ground like a lifeless doll, where she laid for what seemed like hours in the darkness not knowing what had happened. Shifting herself on the ground Zakiya get her legs in front of herself, and began to extend them before curling them back under her and then repeating. How strange that the cold should have sapped away their strength in such a short amount of time, and it wasn't even that cold in the room.
