A Chance to Stand in Your Light

Bastien That old celestial circus With teeth and fingernails I'll carve a place, you'll see. Bastien had been distracted by his last trip down to the underground by a sudden child whom he had felt obligated to care for. But once his time with Beatrix had passed, he still wanted to venture into the caves. For two reasons: 1. He still wanted to see if The Voice was down here, if she would talk to him now at this shrine just for her. 2. He felt a strange pulling, from his chest to somewhere deep within the underground, something he couldn't quite explain. So he was back, looking into the entrance, seeing nothing but gray walls and a winding corridor but finding himself inexplicably drawn inwards, as if he knew there was something better than the stone promised in there. Something...just for him. Taking his first few steps into the underground, Bastien tried to scan his eyes about the tunnels, looking for any sign of something unusual.
