The afternoon was kind of muggy, all day long since the sun had come up do to a meeting of unusual whether patterns. The heat was oppressive and even the woods were quieter than usual as the forest critters that normally were everywhere seemed put off by the smoltering heat. But for some it was a perfect chance to enjoy the sun and move about. Out of nowhere the sky grew ominous with the blackness rolling in very quickly. Although every living thing in the forrest would welcome the coolness the rain would bring, some might have wished the mugginess never abated by the time things were said and done.

This sudden thunderstorm promised to be extremely fierce as the winds began to grow to fierce levels and rain began to downpour forcing many creatures of the woodland to seek shelter...

One of the creatures trying to find shelter wasn't from the woodland. The young woman was moving quickly to find some shelter somewhere in the woods. She knew well enough that under the trees is the worse place to be during a thunderstorm, being under a forest would be no different. Already it was beginning to rain, when the young girl noticed a cave in the side of the large hill she near. Quickly she made her way there, hoping it would be deep enough to protect her from the rain.

Once she made it into the cave, Ishtar took a moment to catch her breath, she wiped away some of the water on her face as she was happy to be out of the rain. She pulled at her light blue tank top (that had a variety of flowers running down the right side) to let some air in to cool herself off. For once she was grateful that her tan shorts were a bit too tight. It had protected her from getting snagged on a brush or limb as she made her way to cave entrance.

The cave itself didn't appear very large, stalactites the natural rock pillars that came halfway down from the roof, and stalagmites the other ones that stretched halfway to the ceiling seemed to obscure the view either way towards the back wall and the length only seemed about 12 feet wide. This limestone cave didn't appear very promising, but then again looks could be deceiving. With most limestone caves this ones expanded from the the natural dripping of water from the roof towards the ground leaving completed pillars though out as well, while the acid slowly ate away at the rock.

Someone appears to have left some rocks in a circle on the hard ground, dark with smoot as some apparently had used this cave for shelter before, the perfect place for a campfire. There are still some logs and branches left against the side of the cave not far from the opening along with some matches, 1 sleeping bags and a canteen, indicating that this cave might be used more repeatedly than appears. The second nearest pillar has carving with a few sets intials heart initials indicating the cave may have even been used for romantic rendezvous' in the past.

Ishtar took a moment around the cave, it certainly look didn't lock very large and may not be be the best place to stay during the storm. However the blue haired girl could feel the wind starting to fade away as the air pressure dropped. She may have not experienced many bad thunderstorms in her lifetime, but her grandparents had always warned her those were the signs that you looked for. The young woman sighed, whether or not this cave was adequate was beyond debate now, she was going to have to stay here until the storm passed over.

Ishtar then noticed something on the ground nearby, it looked it was a stone circle. As the young woman investigated further it became obvious that it was place for a campfire. In fact there was some firewood nearby just waiting to be used, sitting there stacked in a pile along with some matches. A sleeping bag wasn't too far from the fire pit, it appeared that somebody used the cave regularly. The blue haired girl hoped that whoever it was wouldn't mind if she used while she waiting for the storm pass over. She quickly started gathering the wood and placing it in the pit so she could start a fire to keep her warm.

As the light from the newly formed camp fire fills the cave Ishtar can see that while not wide, the cavern recedes quite a ways into the darkness. The wind, rain and thunder continue unabated outside the cave enterance. As she warms and dries herself by the fire curiosity begins to take hold. Moving the sleeping bag she finds an old uniform that would be perfect if stripped into shred could be used as a torch...

Slimer had moved into the cave when the demon first arrived on the island. He originally found it stalking two students meeting for an exciting trist in this unobserved location. The supplies had been left by the young lovers after his appearance frightened them away. The cave worked as a great shelter and a meeting spot for more than one couple, giving him ample victims to study as he observed and learned about these human women, their tendancies and abilities. More surprising he had found a small tunnel that opened to a smooth worked floor indicating intelligent life had created an underground empire in distances long past with over two miles of caverns, rooms, and treasures never discovered by young lovers looking simply for a lovers nook.

Deciding this we be a great location to house in while he began corrupting these lovely ladies, he quickly took up residence. Here he would be undisturbed while he plotted, stalked, and returned after his encounters.

As Ishtar sat down next to the sleeping bag, the young woman noticed that their was an old school uniform. With clothes already soaked, it became clear to the young woman she could where the uniform while they dried. She hoped whoever left them here wouldn't mind, but they probably wouldn't have noticed. Quickly the blue haired student took off her clothes and put on the old uniform. It was a bit tight and didn't quite fit her perfectly as it left her midriff exposed but it was good enough for now while she let her clothes dry.

However as she put on the uniform she noticed that the cave actually wasn't very wide, it was deeper than expected. In fact it looked like it descended into ground quite a ways. Now the blue haired girl curiosity had begun to get the better of her. Looking around the campsight, she was just barely found enough material to make a makeshift torch. Lighting the torch with the fire, Ishtar took one more look at the cave entrance. The storm didn't look it was going to die down anytime soon and it probably was safer to look into the cave anyways as long as she was careful. The young woman took a deep breath and began to make her way down into the darkness.

Slimer had been resting when the storm struck, the sheer violence of the storm had awoken his day and a half long slumber. A massive lightning strike directly on top of the hill where he slept had the power to shake the ground while the thunder following such a strike penetrated the many layers awakening the demon. To make sure this planet wasn't coming to an end he decided to begin his journey from a stone cut room not too far from the front of the cave up to the enterance to have a look...

Meanwhile at the enterance cave Ishtar had changed into the uniform that was lying on the ground. Although able to fit the uniform was clearly designed for a shorter student, the skirt was riding higher than the typically ridiculously short normal student skirts, and the top left her firm midriff exposed while accentuating her well developed breasts. As she made her way down towards the back of the cave she would soon make it to the stone cut passageways that would lead to the intelligently formed underground system. The ground in the system continues to descend into the earth but not sharply. The walls are smoothly cut out of the stone and there are branching passages. Most of the passages don't go too far but open into various room whose purposes have many been lost over time while some are abundantly apparent. Along the walls set every 20 paces or so are brackets some containing torches some not. There is a surprising lack of cobwebs and other small insects one would expect in a completely abandoned cave system, almost as if those creatures that would make a shelter in the cave sensed a malevolent presence...

Ishtar could not believe how well carved the entire place this was, what she has assumed to be a natural cavern was in reality a well built underground complex. For what purpose that this place existed the blue haired student had no clue, which only wanted to make explore it even more. Conveniently, there appeared to be brackets on the wall, some even had a few torches in them. The young woman lit the few torches she found, to give her a better view of the tunnel she found herself in. The young woman noticed that there was passages that branched off from the main one. Well, I'm not going to learn anything standing here. She picked a random passage and started to walk down it unaware of what else was down here...

Slimer wanders up to tunnel noticing the lights coming from a tunnel leading off to the left and realizes her has visitors and decides to vanish from sight. Deciding to see who has wandered into his new home he slowly explores the tunnel passing a few lit torches as he goes.

Ishtar takes the random tunnel to the left as the carved stone continues its slight descent into the earth. The room that it eventually opens into, is rather large filled with old wooden furniture looking as if it belonged to human like beings. There are chairs and tables setup in groups of fours away from the walls totaling 24 chairs. There are a few book cases lining the walls although in this particular room the books are missing. The room appears at one time to have been a dining area of some sort with another small firepit set in the middle back of the room. The is an old iron spit still in place above the fire pit. Other wise the room is rather sparse and missing the normal plates and utensils associated with dining.

Ishtar walked down the branch passage as it descended slowly deeper into the earth. It opens up to what appears to be a large dining hall. The blue haired student is impressed as it appears that the room was a large dining hall. So whatever this place was they probably expected to have a lot guests or a lot of people stayed here. The young woman noticed that there was some book cases along the wall, but all the books were missing. In fact all the plates and utensils were missing too, the student really hoped that someone hadn't already come along and looted the place. She shook her head and can only hope that the books would be found further in the cavern. The young woman decided to move along and she what she could find in other rooms.

As she heads back down the branch path Slimer heads towards the branch from down the tunnel. She rounds the corner and takes the next tunnel moments before he arrives and heads towards the dining hall following the torch light.

As Ishtar continues to explore she reaches the next room. This next room isn't as large as the main dining hall but looks expansive enough with a raised dias at one end. Atop it sits two intricately carved thrones. The thrones are covered with amazing details of plants and flowers from the footwork to the backrests. The larger throne has a torn seat cushion and sits empty. The other throne has a headband tiara crown designed to pull back hair seated behind the wearers ears, covered in gemstones of all hues and precious gems. Along each side wall the are more torch brackets and two weapons racks. Each rack held long wooden staves whose tips ended in cruel sharp metal desgins. Against the very back wall laid a tapestry covered in strange rune symbols with two firepits in each corner who use appears to have been for light and warmth but appear to have not been used in centuries.

Now this room looks a lot more interesting. The young woman smiled as she lit the torches in the room, the weapon rack was a bit frightening but not enough to scare off the blue haired student. She looked on in amazement as she was apparently in the throne. The young woman walked over to the thrones as she was particularly interested in all the plants and flowers that were carved into the the twin thrones. The student couldn't help but notice that the beautiful crown that was covered in gemstones and precious gems. The young woman looked around all the room as if to the check to see if anyone was around to see her. Satisfied than she anyone that would have cared were long since gone, she picked up the crown and put on her head to see how it looked on her.

The young Ishtar is trying on the crown amazed at all the gemstones, when she places the crown on her head her vision goes white and a vision of shadowy figures kneeling at her feet as she sits apon the intractely carved thrown fills her head. As quickly as the vision comes it is gone again. Was it a glimpse into another time, a simple prophecy, or simply a wish, no one alive could say for sure.

While down the other branching tunnel Slimer finally makes it to the dining the area the hall leading to it much longer than to the apparent throne room. He slowly investigates while invisible the dining room, making sure nothing is hiding within. He moves chairs checks under the tables and even looks into the firepit. Satisfied that no one remains he begins to leave the dining area...

As soon as Ishtar put her the crow on her head she begun to get dizzy as her vision suddenly turned white. She soon finds a vision of her sitting on the throne as shadowy figures were kneeling at her feet, as if she was a real princess or queen. The blue haired princess couldn't make out exactly who they were or even make out alot of detail in her subjects. Then in a flash Ishtar found herself back in the empty throne room as if nothing happened at all. The young woman disoriented for a moment as she tried to figure out what had just happened. She shook her head and decided it was best to move on and see what else was in this cavern before trying to figure out anything else in this room.
