Afraid of the dark? Wait until you see what the light can do…
The cart rattled as it rolled over the rocky debris near the base of The Monolith. Dark nearly dropped his book as the wheel hurdled a large chunk and leaned forward quickly to grasp it, making a small sound of surprise as he did. He then sighed deeply as he put his precious tome away safely in it's pouch.

Dark had been traveling for some time now. Mostly because he had lost his way in life, his mind could not focus, and everything was a blur to him. That was... until he had a sudden spark of instinct. That spark pulled him to the towering monolith before him having no where else to go. So he had hitched a ride with some scavengers and treasure hunters out to the forsaken creation.

The cart creaked to a halt as the teamster pulled on the horses rains. Men and women began stepping out of the cart, tools and other equipment to construct a small base of operations. They were not planning on staying here long, for they feared what might lurk in the area come nightfall. Dark himself slipped off the cart and onto the cold hard ground, taking a few paces around the cart to get a good very of the tower.

It still called to him...

He tapped the side of his tome, making a sound that calmed him, "This isn't going to be easy..." he spoke with a whisper as he looked back to the small camp, "I hope for the best to, you friends." Manus muttered as he turned his back and gazed up at the despairing structure.

He had come across this caravan by chance, and hitched a ride with them because he was intrigued by the company. Never before had the angel seen a group travel in such an amount of people. Though flight would certainly be a quicker method of travel, his wings did get tired just as one's legs did while moving. Though, he'd forgotten where they were heading, and had fallen asleep in one of the carts.

It was not until the carts had made a noisy halt, with the horses and the creaking of wheels, that he woke. With a yawn and a stretch, he jumped down from the cart. The travelers would be setting up a temporary haven soon, but he could sense their discomfort with the place. Tabbris did not understand why, however.

Adjusting his clothes and making sure all his belongs were accounted for, he went to explore the area. Tabbris wanted to look around a bit before helping the caravaners set up camp.

After a short while, Dark stopped starring at the tower and walked back to the camp to aid in its construction. Tents were pitched around a large bonfire with other heavy logs and rocks as makeshift seats. It had also appeared that a merchant who wish to make an opportunity to sell exploration gear of all kinds.

After helping to set up a fifth tent, Dark began building his own. It turned out to be a small tent with just enough space for one, maybe two people. He then checked to make sure he had the things he needed before moving with the rest of the searchers to investigate the base of the monolith.

He opened his book as the group made their way through the rubble, going through his notes for anything that might give him an idea of what might be within the tower's walls,

"Seems this will be a first time experience... This should prove interesting."

The angel meandered around for a bit, pausing to pick at the foliage, or blackened stones every so often. He wondered if hey had any magic in them, or were just carefully selected flora used to give the place an ancient feel. Tabbris had explored ruins before, always interested in the history behind them. But this place seemed ... different somehow. Yawning, he headed back towards the camps. He would sure find something interesting come morning. For now, it was time to get ready for the night ahead.

Helping set up a few tents, he got some dinner. He took his time with the meal, as others set up their tents. Once the explorations went underway, he could assist better there. Surely his gift of flight would be of use in exploring the higher reaches of the monolith. Finishing his meal, he cleaned up and followed the crowd towards the imposing stones. Craning his neck, he glanced up at the strange thing. "Phew. Now that's just a bit intimidating." He remarked to no one in particular, wings giving a flutter.
