Trapped after a catastrophic expedition, Erenth has spent years struggling to survive in the deadly depths of Ardia. With the help of his master's ghost, and the experience gained from daily fights for his survival, Erenth has become a force to be reckoned with, yet he still can not escape to the surface. With the way up blocked by hundreds of tons of stone, he had almost lost hope, until a chance encounter with scouts from a new expedition into the depths reveals a new way out: down through the deep Crystal Caverns where he'd never dared to go. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's notes: - The description and cover are subject to change (read as, they definitely will change) - English is my first language, and while I can't make any guarantees about how good the story's going to be, I can at least promise the grammar will be serviceable. When I inevitably make mistakes, please leave a comment to let me know about them. -Upload schedule depends on how my classes are going at college. Chapters will probably be in the 2.5 to 3.5k word count, and I'll be shooting for one every few days, again, subject to my classes' demands.
