The two descended into the darkness as Orcleous lit a torch. The flames illuminated the ruin caves with a faint light that reflected a myriad of shadows in corners and upon their faces. Aurora was about to interject and inform him she could have made either an orb or fire or light to light and guide the way but she let him have his moment of spotlight. The further down the two went Aurora realized that the cave was neither natural or man made, something clearly dug it out. The portion of building and walls had sunk into the earth over the years.
"The paintings are strangely beautiful," Aurora noted." She saw the depictions of the dragons and it made her uneasy. It was a similar concept to what she could do but dragons? Well, they were myth these days and she certainly did not fancy her chances if she should meet one.
"It is true, I am a magus extraordinaire but I can not read the writing on the walls." No pun intended, "It looks to me as though this may have been a temple, to worship the dragons possibly. Though, as little as I know of the subject I can tell you it is post scouring." Oh yes, even Vinland natives knew of that event.
"It probably is a recording of something, or maybe, some sort of proverb? I can't really say, sorry." rattle, crunch. Two sounds in the distant halls. It was the bones of the ill prepared adventurers to come before them.
Aurora jumped at the sound with a yelp and Orcleous had already sprung into action. Before she could even make sense of the situation Orcleous had quite literally, brought the hammer down cracking it over the monster's head. He also lost the torch, not that it affected Aurora, but he could not see well, perhaps a shadow in the dark, but having just lost the light he was ill adjusted to even that.
The wyvern was old, very old. It had taken and killed more adventurers than the two could count over the years and it bared the wounds of struggle openly. Places where scales had been knocked away never quite growing back correctly, arrows lodged inside its body, never removed. It was a vicious contender, not to say anything of the fact it shrugged off a blow from Xigshaw.
The beast slammed a forefoot into the ground shattering pieces of tile and sending them flying like shrapnel before moving to kill. It aimed its teeth for Orc's jugular but Aurora threw an orb of light into its eye distracting it and turning its head. "Light! Light! Light! Light!" She began to bombard it with a volley of light flashes until it could no longer tolerate her.
