[SABRA | ant ride]

It's apparent what Ace meant when he said that the darkness problem has been bad lately. The ants lead Yayoi and Red toward the edge of Cepheus territory. The darkness is thick here, almost like a wall outside the nearest torchlight. There seem to be very faint torches sputtering a few yards away, and a few more yards after that, as if the darkness had creep up closer lately and new torches had to be set up.

The ants light their lanterns on a torch and the darkness recedes around them. 'Ready' one chitters. The other says 'No coward'

[pats her ant soothingly and squeezes Red's hand back]

We're ready.

The ants head into the darkness, seeming to know exactly where they want to go, slow enough so the two of them can follow. The ground here lacks any of the colorful imaginations that have characterized the caves up until now, instead feeling strange and unsteady under your feet.

Though that may be true, time seems to drag a little while in here, with the darkness pressing around and nothing to really mark your passage. The ants start to look back at you two more often, wondering why the lagging...

The smaller ant suddenly stops and spins around toward Yayoi, putting the lantern down in front of her and jabbing a leg at it. 'Take!'

The ant nods, satisfied, then picks her right up with its pincers, marching on!

Bigger ant seems bemused by this for a moment before offering it's lantern to Red.

Big ant picks Red up! ...Despite that you have perfectly deadly pincers around your torso it feels much safer up here and time stops dragging...

This way is much faster! Maybe they will just decide to carry you from place to place from now on... Normally they expect everyone to move under their own strength but dangerous things are dangerous to fleshy creatures :|a.

The darkness is still extremely thick but now that you're not concentrating on how the ground is wobbly you notice that in the distance there seems to be a glow. The Ants aren't headed directly toward it but the glow gets stronger until you can see the silhouettes of the ruins similar to where the library they set up is located... Strangely the glow seems to be coming from an artificial sky that domes that area...

But anyway, you pass by that and are eventually dropped off in front of another torii. The ants settle nearby to see what you guys do.

There are two stone lanterns here framing the gate so it's at least safe to be on the ground again. Another panel pops open on the gate as you get close.

The most useless is the kind that comes too late but how do you even show that...

Let's just hold whatever we can find up to it again.
