Alwynn led her cohorts through the forest. The goblins and trolls that kidnapped their princess were heading this way. It was not until she saw where the footprints ended did, that she realized the grave danger of where they were heading. This was the entrance that led smack-dab into the Underdark.
Alwynn hated spiders. Most High-Elf’s like her did. However, she was one of the few true full-time soldiers in their enclave. The Elven mages would be at a disadvantage chasing bandits, and most would not have the mana for an extended chase, but Drow. She shut out thoughts of what would happen if she did not get to the Princess in time. She remembered the last member of the royal family to get captured by those cave-bitches. Alwynn anger towards them steeled her resolve she barked out, “Follow me Kindred, the spider-fuckers will regret touching the Princess!” The soldiers did not share the same resolve. Her party was four females and three males.
The entrance to the Underdark loomed before them, a jagged maw of darkness that seemed to breathe cold air from below. Alwynn could see the hesitation in her soldiers’ eyes the way their gazes lingered on the forest behind them, the way their fingers trembled near their weapons.
“We don’t have time for fear,” she hissed, drawing her silver blade. “Every moment we delay, the Princess moves further from our reach.”
The eldest among them, a seasoned warrior named Thaelin, stepped forward. His face, weathered by decades of service, betrayed his concern.
“Commander, we are seven against what could be dozens. The Underdark is their domain. Perhaps we should send word back”
“She could be dead or worse by then,” Alwynn cut him off. The word worse sat in her chest like a stone. She had seen what the Drow did with High Elves, they took alive the collars, the ceremonies of degradation they staged for their own amusement. A princess would be a prize beyond reckoning. “I will not leave her to that.”
She turned to face the cave entrance, her white hair catching what little light filtered through the forest canopy. The tracks were clear the distinctive three-toed prints of goblins mixed with the heavier impressions of trolls, all disappearing into the darkness.
“Light your torches,” she commanded. “Stay close and alert. The Drow have ways of separating prey from the herd.”
As they descended into the earth, the temperature dropped dramatically. The familiar scent of pine and loam gave way to something older, something that spoke of stone and secrets buried deep beneath the world. Alwynn’s enhanced elven vision adjusted to the gloom, but even she couldn’t pierce the end of the tunnel they were end. It was like the fog was shadow.
The tunnel closed around them until the world was nothing but stone, marching in closer with every step. The air, at first riddled with the cool relief of earth, thickened and soured. They passed the bones of old things, the old scrimshaw of failed expeditions, and the soot marks from other torches, snuffed out too soon.
Alwynn felt for her sword, then checked the line behind her, counting heads to steady her nerves. She kept the torch high, but the flame only flickered desperation against the wet, veined ceiling. The shadows would not be pushed back. There were seven of them when they entered, and she counted six now. She blinked, hard, once, as if her senses betrayed her, and tried again. Still six.
Two steps behind, Miera, her second and the only other full-timer with real steel in her spine, swept the corridor with a ready nock. Even in the poor light, her hair was a warning, a red corona painting streaks on the wall. Alwynn trusted her to see what others could not. She wanted to call back, but the walls echoed too easily, so she hissed, “Check left.”
They advanced, footsteps muffled by the mulch of ancient moss, and it was only at the next switchback in the tunnel that Miera’s whisper touched her ear, a thistle caught in air: “Second in line is gone.”
Alwynn froze, one foot halfway to the next stone. She spun, quick and silent. The party’s rear was a chaos field, everyone breathing faster than the need for oxygen required, and no one willing to admit that a soldier had vanished without a sound. Alwynn’s eyes met those of the survivors, and she read the truth there, in the way they avoided her gaze or gripped their weapons too tight.
Miera edged forward, jaw working, and leaned in so close that her lips nearly brushed Alwynn’s ear. “Forrin’s missing. He was right behind me two minutes ago. Now “ She let the implication shiver in the silence.
Alwynn called softly: “Roll call. Now.” She braced herself for what she already knew. The names came in a tight, clipped sequence, less like affirmation and more like confession. The first three responded in shaky tones, then the fourth, and then a long pause where the fifth should have been.
She rounded back to face the last: “Valdin?” No answer. Just the taste of his absence in the air.
Kano Lavrin the youngest, but the most reliable archer stepped into the gap. “I saw him at the last bend,” she said, eyes wide and fearless, but her hands shook as she drew her bow. “He was walking. Then he wasn’t.”
The remaining soldiers pressed together. Miera’s hand found her mate’s shoulder, and the look they shared was an unfinished question. Alwynn knew it all too well: Should we run? Do we leave them, already?
“No one else gets snatched,” Alwynn spat, voice like a thrown knife. “Back to back. Kano, you take point. Miera, cover the rear. We’re not giving this tunnel any more blood.”
The torch flame guttered against a pocket of bad air, and for a second the darkness seemed to pulse inward. The soldiers huddled close enough to feel each other’s sweat. Alwynn watched the passage ahead, but her mind raced behind, where two members of her party had slipped from the world without a single scream. The worst part was the silence it meant whatever hunted them was ancient, and clever, and not hungry for noise.
They stepped forward, every muscle primed. Miera’s bowstring was a taut threat to the void, and Kano’s eyes raked the darkness for movement. Yet even as they advanced, the air pressed heavier, and the walls looked slick with something that could have been condensation or could have been the residue of dead things. Alwynn felt the eyes of the Underdark, old and patient, watching through cracks in the world.
Her own nerves, long trained to resist panic, quavered at the edges. She remembered the stories of the Drow, how they loved to play with prey. But this was no game; this was an extermination, an old game cat and mouse. The enemy could see them, but they could not see the enemy.
At the next turn, the last male in the group Kano’s mate, a soft-eyed scholar turned soldier touched Alwynn’s sleeve. “Commander, what if they’re already dead?” His whisper was just a tremor in the wet air.
“Then we grieve later,” she said, not unkindly. “For now, we fight to keep breathing.”
The party reshuffled, every soldiers back pressed to another’s, bows drawn and swords bared. The world narrowed to a single point at the tunnel’s end, and none of them dared look over their shoulders for fear of what might be waiting there. Alwynn centered herself, blocking out the voices of fear, the memory of past failures, and the knowledge that she had already lost too many.
They pushed onward, the torchlight now a tiny rebellion against the ocean of dark. The group moved as a single, desperate thing, each heartbeat echoing off the stone like a countdown. The tunnel trembled with every step, and somewhere ahead, Alwynn could feel the Princess’s fate winding into theirs, a thread of hope or doom stretched thin and thinner.
Their march was silent except for the soft rasp of weapons and the determined, whispering prayers of the soldiers. With every few paces, Alwynn looked back, meeting Miera’s eyes and then, counting always counting, making sure no one else had been swallowed by the dark.
The group continued their tense journey, now back-to-back and acutely aware that something was picking them off in the looming darkness.
As soon as they cleared the tunnels, they saw it. The three elves in their party, the ones taken one by one impaled on one pike, like skewer. Alwynn got weak in the knees and noticed that an entire city was across the pathway.
“This was not here on our maps!” Alwynn exclaimed.
Miera’s eyes never left the towering, phosphorescent skyline of the Drow citadel. She spoke in a hush barely audible over the susurrus of those unearthly fungal lamps and the echoing drip of stone. “Thoron Alwynn,” she said, voice pared to a soldier’s edge, “our maps are over a century out of date. No one’s ventured this far in sixty years. This whole structure, the walls, the spires, all of it is new. The Drow must have been building in secret, under our noses, for decades.” She glanced to the pike where their fellows dangled like broken birds. “If they can raise a city and defend it, we’re not facing a warband. We’re facing an empire, and we are seven.” She took a step closer, lowering her bow but not her guard. “We need to fall back, regroup with the enclave. Bring the full muster of the Watchers. Otherwise, we die here, and the Princess dies screaming.”
Alwynn’s reply was a blade unsheathed: “If we turn back, we let them win. You saw them they’re not army regulars, they’re slavers. Our Princess is still alive, or they wouldn’t have left bait.” She forced herself to look again at the skewered bodies. The stink of burnt hair and coppery blood was a desecration so profane even the damp air recoiled from it. “They’re trying to terrify us, to make us scatter. We don’t give them that.” She turned on the rest of the party, finding in their faces a mirror of her own doubts. “We go back to the camp, yes,” she conceded, “but we do it fast and silent. Miera, you scout the rear. Kano, you mark every turn.” She looked to the youngest, the one with the stutter in his trigger hand, and softened her voice. “You keep watch on our rear. If anything moves, you call out. Understood?”
They moved. Down the path, up the slope, through switchbacks slick with ancient lichen, retracing every footstep left behind. The forest of stone columns and web-bound stalactites felt different on return, as if the Underdark itself had inhaled and decided not to exhale. Already, their torchlight failed to chase shadows from the walls. Alwynn could feel the way the tunnels pressed in, funneling them not out but deeper, always deeper. She tried to ignore the paranoia, the crawling certainty that nothing in this place was ever as it seemed.
It was the second switchback when the first sign of trouble hit: a soundless pressure, like the air had been sucked out of the corridor ahead. Miera held up her fist, signaling halt. The group froze mid-stride, every ear straining for hints of pursuit. But there was nothing. No skitter, no footfall, just that deepening, unnatural quiet. The young archer’s hand trembled so badly his arrows clicked in their quiver. Alwynn felt her own knuckles whiten around her sword.
They advanced, slower now, past the marks Kano had etched on the wall. His chalk lines, just minutes old, were faded, as if the damp itself had conspired to erase them. “Commander,” he whispered, “I marked this turn already.” Miera checked it herself, running a gloved hand across the stone, and nodded once. “We’re looping,” she said. “Someone is guiding us.”
Alwynn’s mind raced: was it magic? A trick of the Drow? She’d heard tales of the maze-wardens, the tunnel witches who could fold passageways in on themselves, but she’d never believed them. Now she did. “Keep going,” she ordered, “but stay alert. Eyes high and low.”
The dread only mounted with every step. Where before the air had been merely cold, it was now a living thing, pressing against their ears, trying to crowd out thought. Somewhere ahead, a dreadlight flickered, too regular to be natural lanterns, perhaps, or something mimicking them. The group huddled closer, every footfall a trespass.
By the time they reached what should have been the exit, Alwynn was the first to sense it: a wall where there should have been an opening. She pushed forward, sword out, and slammed into solid rock. “What the hell?” she breathed.
The others crowded around, staring at the blank, seamless stone. There were no seams, no draft, no hint that a passage had ever existed. The way home had simply vanished, replaced by the implacable will of the Underdark.
Alwynn ran her hand across the surface, pressing for any secret latch, any trick. “This was here,” she insisted, voice growing shrill. “I remember the grooves there was daylight “ But now, she could not even find the texture she’d memorized. Only the cold, featureless stone.
“Miera’s face hardened. “We’re trapped.”
Alwynn’s command was not a suggestion. Every muscle in her body unspooled with intent as she barked orders: “Miera, get them out. Find an exit, even if you have to make one. I’ll draw every shade in this place down on me if I have to. Our mission is the Princess yours is to survive.” The words had a ringing finality. Miera stared back at her for half a second, the question in her eyes burning: Are you sure? But Miera was a soldier, and she obeyed. With one last flick of her gaze over the remaining party, she set her jaw and melted into the gloom, shepherding the others with silent hand-signs, a ghost’s caress against the stone.
Alwynn remained behind, the lone sentinel in a nightmare’s gullet. Her heart was a thunderclap; her mind, crystalline and cold. The city yawned across the cavern’s chasm, its fungal lamps and phosphorescent spires radiating a light that was more threat than invitation. She took in the scene with a hunter’s eye: the static nothingness, the lack of movement on the parapets, the stillness of the air as if the whole Underdark had paused in anticipation. It was all wrong. Even the stink of the freshly dead had faded, replaced by a simmering ozone, a static tension waiting to break.
She weighed her odds, then settled her grip on axe and sword, the steel heavy and familiar, the only certainty left to her. A shield would only slow her down; these corridors were built for speed and surprise, not clumsy defense. If the Drow came, and they would, because this was their domain she would have to meet them with naked aggression, denying the pantomime of defense and giving them only the reality of blood.
She advanced, clanging her weapons together with deliberate violence, a declaration more than a threat. The shriek of steel on steel rang off the cavern walls, echoing for leagues. Alwynn was not subtle; she was bait. Let them come for her, she thought. Let them test their blades on someone who would not die quietly.
She stalked up the incline, every step an insult to the oppressing dark, daring the enemy’s ambush. But the tunnel answered with silence. Not the lifeless hush from before, but an alert, listening quiet, a predator’s patience. Alwynn’s jaw clenched. She remembered her lessons how to control the pulse of fear, how to slow her breath to kill thought and let the body react. She pictured the Princess, bound and helpless, perhaps praying for rescue, and turned the image into a sharpened arrow of purpose.
The tunnel forked. She picked the left hand, then the right; the pathways twisted, doubled back, erased their own tracks. She marked her way with blood her own, from a shallow cut on her left hand, so she wouldn’t waste time searching for chalk. The stones drank it. She could see her own pale hair in the reflection of damp, the way it caught each ghostly glimmer. The Drow would see her coming. That was the point.
By the third turn, she realized it was a trap more subtle than any she’d faced. The way the ground sloped, the way the echoes of her footfalls returned not when they should but a moment later, as if someone followed out of sight. Alwynn swept her axe in a wide arc at random intervals, the blade biting into empty air. She forced herself to grunt, to curse aloud anything to fill the vacuum with her own will.
She lost track of time. The world narrowed to cycles of movement and stillness, the taste of copper in her teeth, the measured pain from her cut hand gently clarifying her focus. When she stopped, she could feel the labyrinth curling around her, as if the entire city was a living organism and she its prey. She laughed, a short, ugly sound. Let them hunt. But she would not run.
Eventually the tunnel spat her out onto a ledge she recognized, just above the clearing she’d first crossed, the natural bridge stretching like a tongue toward the Drow fortress. It had taken her three hours, maybe four, to get here a path that should have cost her ten minutes at most. She stood panting, her armor smeared with sweat and stone dust, uncertain if she had led her pursuers to this place or if they had simply allowed her to arrive.
She took inventory: no arrow wounds, no poison darts, not even a scratch save for the self-inflicted one. Alwynn’s nerves screamed for action, for a target. But the bridge was abandoned, the skewer-pike empty now, the corpses vanished. The city loomed dark and silent except for the hum of the lamps.
