Mary spent the next day guarding the door by herself. The castle guards changed shifts every fifteen minutes. Only she was staying the spot constantly on her toes for Thief X. The window that broke that night was repaired fairly quickly with the help of the castle architects, in fact it looked like it hadn't been broken at all.
"...."
"...."
The sound of birds chirping. The occasional yell of a guard in false alarm. If one were to look at Mary in the state she's in they would say she looked like a cool beauty. No expression of the face just standing there in front of the door with her eyes closed. However, not a single castle guard came near her. They didn't know, but, their instincts told them to not approach her, this "beast" in human skin. Mary turned into the calm before the storm.
Then night fell....
Night at the castle. The light of torches lit across the halls. Mary's hall was no difference. A short wind ruffled her hair. Mary opened her eyes fully expecting who would appear before them. There standing in front of her was Thief X. The window propped open with a single rock.
"You're dead."
"...."
Mary drew her sword while X moved his hands beneath his cloak. Silence filled the room. Before the both of them could move however, a rumble from underground shook their stances.
"What?..."
"This is..."
Mary had thought that maybe it was a trap set by Thief X and hurriedly looked at him. X even with his mask on couldn't hide his own surprise. Soon the rumbling stopped. Tension was in the air. Then, the floor broke and they both fell into darkness.

Underground
Terra followed the dark path into an open room. Along the way he killed at least ten adult spiders. The exp managed to level him up twice. Terra soon came across a large room much like the one he met the Trinity but, this room was covered in spider webs. Directly in the center he saw a statue with a rising staircase to a single door. The door looked like it had magical protection around it given the magic mark on the front.
Terra's attention wasn't on the door but rather the statue in front of him. The statue looked exactly like Luna one of the three goddess of the Trinity. The Call shifted his gaze to another place. Right at the Luna's feet lay a sword. As if lightning struck Terra when he saw the sword it shook his being and he knew exactly what that sword was.
"The Fallen Rock of Luna..."
Terra began to approach the statue. Not to fast or to slow. Then something black entered his vision form above cutting off his vision of the sword. Terra was blown back from the force and hit a nearby pillar.

Terra looked up. It was bigger than any of the smaller spiders he faced. Even the adult spiders that were as tall as he paled in comparison. The spider was at least two stories tall. A green ooze was foaming out of its mouth. Terra on habit cast observe on the target. However, he knew exactly what the monster was even without the skill.
The Spider Queen

Abilities:
* Poison Spit
Status: Chaos
How troublesome thought Terra. He still had antidotes to the poison and even gained some poison resistance after constantly fighting spiders but this wasn't an ordinary spider. Terra kept reading the window until he saw his saw light in
the tunnel. The status is Chaos, meaning that his class buffs work on this spider. Even without adding it up he would do at least 2x the damage. Terra quickly looked around the room as a plan began to formulate, but first. Terra's gaze shifted back to the sword behind the spider. I'll need that to get started.

Terra stood up and prepared his sword. The spider queen came rushing at him. All 8 legs scurrying across the room to where he stood. When the spider queen came 3 meters from Terra, he threw the sword Dreg gave him right for one of the many eyes on the spider queen. Without waiting for confirmation of the hit he dashed and dove right under the spider. The spider queen tried to stop but, it couldn't.
"SCREEECHHHHH"
*Crash
"Bingo."
The sword hit the spider queen square onto one of its eyes. To make things better the spider queen collided with the pillar that he collided into. Terra ran towards the sword and picked it up. The moment he touched the sword he felt a strange aura course through him.

"The sword was great. Even more so that it was one of the rarest swords that level up with the user. With this I can take on the spider queen with no problem." I turned towards the pillar that the spider queen collided with. Just in time to see a green blob flying towards me. I hit the floor fast as the blob whirls right past me. It lands on the statue and begins to eat away at what it's made with.
"....."
Note to self: dodge green stuff. I got up and charged the spider. The spider queen also began to rush towards me. Trusting in my boosted stats I jump. The spider queen opened its mouth to catch me but, I had just barely made it right over the spider queen's mouth and landed on it's head. I stabbed down with all my might as if I was putting the sword back into the stone. Like butter, the sword sliced right through the spider queen's head. The sword sliced to cleanly that a bit of my arm on the handle went with it.
"Ewww."
True to any game logic the spider queen immediately collapsed throwing me off from the head. I would like to say that I landed like one of those movie actions stars...I didn't. I hit the floor with my face, sliding a bit before my legs fell down stopping my slide. Luckily landing on your face after a fight doesn't incur fall damage. A window pops up while I'm still disconnecting my face to the floor.

"I take that back. I would have taken the fall damage."
I get up right when the ceiling starts to rumble. Debris begins to fall around me. I look for the source and it's the pillar the spider queen collided into. Multiple cracks start to run from the impact point of the spider queen towards the roof of the underground labyrinth. The ceiling starts to fall as I take cover behind the statue. When the dust clears I see two people standing off against each other on top of the rubble. The first a girl probably my age with bright red hair while the other was wrapped in a black cloak with a weird mask on. This is one strange game.
