When Abigail got off work, she usually spent a good portion of her evening wandering around the circumference of the abyss. It was a pretty long walk, and she spent most of it with her eyes on the darkness in the center.
Tonight, as she made her way around on her brisk walk she tripped on someoneâs abandoned trash. Just a crumpled up piece of paper. An idea popped into her head as she looked around the cobblestone walkway, and found another piece of junk- just some ore someone had tossed aside.
As she collected her junk, she pursed her lips and looked strangely determined. With a quick march she had brought her several trash items to the side of the abyss. Her blue eyes glanced side to side as she made sure no one was watching. It wouldnât be good if someone saw what she was doing for fun after hours- she didnât want to be known as a litter bug.
When she was positive no one had their eyes on her, she took a larger piece of junk ore and then tossed it as far as she could into the abyss. She watched it fall, dully glimmering and then disappearing into the black veil.
ââŠno sound,â She whispered, fascinated. It didnât occur to her even if it did hit, she probably wouldnât hear a sound- it was too far away.
And it was getting rid of the trash, right?
Further. Just a little further. Lillian was almost home, her backpack full of the more common treasures of the abyss. She promised Dia sheâd be back after three days and like hell sheâd break her promises. She chose not to dive down too deep this time.
Taking a deep breath, she found herself about six feet away from the surface. She was able to see the top, but not quite reach it. of course the slope up ahead would help her get up top but if she was really impatient she could always just climb up the side of the cliff.
It was then she noticed something fly past her. Freezing, she quickly pulled out a knife strapped to her leg, brandishing it with a glare and looking around.
Whatever flew by seemed to come from overhead - maybe it was a person..? unless a monster came up above while she was gone??
âIs someone there!?âÂ
