Skye was able to afford a cheap breakfast in the hotel she stayed in. She went back to her room and opened her backpack to take out 2 pistols together with 2 boxes of ammunition. She placed one on her waist and the other in the backpack. Skye made sure that no one would be able to notice the pistol tucked near her waistline.
-
She began to search for any clue to about a legend she saw in the internet. It was a legend about a girl who mysteriously dissapeared 18 years ago near an old town.
-
She even asked some police officers who were kind enough to help her find the biological parents of the missing girl from the internet. Skye was a little too desperate in trying to find any solid lead that would bring her closer to the hidden underground structure.
-
Despite saying that she wanted to help figure out what happened to the girl 18 years ago, Skye was just using this as a cover up for the police to show her an old map of the old town of San Juan.
-
In the end, Skye's plan was a success, the parents of the missing girl were no where to be found. Thus, after explaining that she was a curious tourist, the police showed her the map she was waiting for.
-
There was even an architectural layout of the said town. Skye wasn't a professional when it came to these sort of stuff. However, she was still able to gain clues about where the hidden chamber might be located.
-
Skye found out that San Juan was formerly known as San Cristobal, it also had a fortress built in it decades ago. Due to the passage of time, the fortress eventually caved in and its secrets started to fade along with it.
-
Skye hypothesized that the hidden structure she was looking for might be underneath this fallen fortress.
-
Skye traveled to the site only to see some large scale machinery being used to dig through the ground, it was quite obvious that it was either HYDRA or SHIELD that was responsible for this. Seeing all the heavy equipment from afar made Skye depressed as she didn't even have a shovel to dig with.
-
Due to Skye's determination in trying to find a way to reach the hidden structure, she visited the San Juan library and scanned through the history books that were available. She was quite thankful that she was able to learn decent spanish from her school. Skye's motivation seemed to have helped her proficiency in the spanish language increase.
-
After a few hours of reading, she finally found an article related to an urban ghost story.
-
Legend has it that on the northern side of the fallen fortress, there was a guard tower near the sea. Due to the mysterious dissapearances that occured there throughout history, people claimed that the guard tower was a resting place for demons.
-
'I know that there are some demons in Marvel, but is it possible that there are some her too?' Skye thought for a while before she shook her head in denial. Skye hated to admit it but she was quite scared of the possibility that she might meet a demon in real life.
-
The fact that there were no signs of corpses being found after the people's dissapearance, further peeked Skye's interest. 'This must be more proof of it' She thought confidently.
-
Skye used a small amount of money to shop for ropes, daggers, and light sticks. She recalled that the Obelisk was able to stop all kinds of electronic devices near it. Thus, she deduced that using electronic gear in the underground structure might not work too, but despite this, she still bought a flashlight.
-
Of course, she did not forget to buy some snacks that she might need along the way.
-
Skye even bought some sanitary napkins due to remembering a certain side-effect from doing some activities in school.
-
Skye was able to get a small sized map of the architectural structure of San Juan town. She carried it with her and left her phone and laptop on the hotel.
-
Skye just wore a plain white shirt and brown trousers coupled with black sneakers and a shoulder bag. Her clothes prioritized the will to move freely rather than style, although she still looked good wearing them.
-
Skye deduced that she might have to pass through a something akin to a dungeon. Thus, she ate and drank food to help produce more energy for her body. Of course, she didn't forget to bring the Obelisk with her.
-
On a sunny afternoon, Skye went towards the guard tower that was rumoured to have demons inside.
-
Making sure that no one saw her, Skye slipped through the gate of the abandoned guard tower.
-
Skye concentrated on searching for any entrances that might lead to another chamber, she took out her pistol and walked towards a hole that was covered with weeds.
-
It turns out that it was an old wine cellar, the former guards probably dug a hole in order to store their liquor here.
-
Skye tried to knock on the wood and found that it produced a hallow sound indicating that there might be some kind of space behind the poorly made wine cellar.
-
With the help of reading some Tomb Raider novels in her past life, Skye waited for a while before stretching out her hand towards the dark hole. Then she sensed it... A faint feeling of breeze blowing passed her fingers.
-
Skye brought out a hat and used some rope to tie a flashlight on top of it, she then crouched down and saw that the dug out tunnel was leading downhill.
-
She broke of some wooden pieces to completely reveal the narrow passage, Skye proceeded to crawl through the tunnel.
-
After an unknown time of crawling, Skye had to admit that her boobs might have got in the way if it weren't for the tight sports bra she was wearing.
-
Skye was already tired when hope flashed before her. It seems that she had entered an even larger part of the tunnel, this allowed her to move her body more freely and relieve the stress on her back.
-
She felt that the tunnel was getting flatter and flatter the more she moved forward.
-
"Huh?" Suddenly the flashlight turned off.
-
The black haired Skye knew that she was already inside the territory of the underground structure.
-
Skye's joy was stopped when she looked around to see the absolute darkness that surrounded her.
-
Suddenly the smooth Obelisk in Skye's pocket shined brightly. Orange stripes appeared on it and seemingly formed what looks to be a map. Seeing the bright lines converge towards one point indicated her next destination.
-
The Obelisk continued to glow as Skye used it as a guide towards her goal.
-
With the help of the shining Obelisk, Skye was able to see the different passage ways infront of her.
-
"Fuck!" Skye even heard the slight crunch sounds made whenever she accidentally stepped on the bones of people who died here.
-
Using the shining map imprinted in the Obelisk, Skye proceeded to walk deeper and deeper into this underground structure.
