Petra.


Not longer after they had that discussion about him in the cave, Mort's phone started to get bombarded by pictures sent from his new phone, with a different number of course. It was a good thing they gave him a new phone, his own, that's in Elton's pocket, is almost 10 years old and the quality of its camera is what it is.
He is so hopeless when it comes to renew things, the problem is when he is in possession of something that doesn't get broken, therefore would last forever but would still need to be changed, every few years, to match the new quality standards.

Anyhow, the super HD pictures he sends them depict more wall paintings, much better quality inscriptions preserved really well and also more modern and advanced forms of expression, artefacts and even a book. He sends some pictures of the pages, that are written in a more complex code but still completely unknown. What seems clear, though, is that the writings in the book are a connected to the ones they found in the inscriptions. It's safe to say that the more simple symbols they found were the precursor of the more complex writing.
The culture they are observing certainly is ancient, but there are plenty of hints at the fact that it didn't disappear ages before, but continued developing, probably throughout the centuries and… even after the arrival of auriold.
The wall paintings still depicted many foxes, but also wolves, jackals and dogs. All these animals are represented in different contexts, as if they were deities.
*The wall paintings are all extremely ancient and they haven't yet found any more modern expression of art, besides the few drawings from the book, that mostly depict unknown, mysterious plants, including the one they found in that forest.

The very last picture WonPil sends them is the entrance of another underground labyrinth. This one, though, is not just digged into the earth, it's sculpted finely, with walls covering from ceiling to ground.

Lordship "If you say that, I might be too much in hurry for my age. I would just like a decent and normal dating, but never the chance." And so, porn and prostitutes, what can he do!!
"Wait. This would mean our Gods didn't create the universe? If there are different Gods for each livable planet, well..." He remains thoughtful.
"If they have always been here...I wonder how far they got in development. Except hating auriold and hunting us down, what did they do? Could they...still be alive, somewhere in Nortrig?
Maybe they were not that developed and did mistakes such as incest that started to cause them being weaker and weaker...
Who would have thought Nortrig had a past of this kind."

LaNii Mort. «Maybe the perfect person for you is right under your nose and you aren't being able to realise.»

Morius. «No one knows who created the universe or where the Gods cane from, in any world. That's a secret knowledge mortals aren't allowed to know about.»
He shakes his head. «It is hard to tell. I am unaware of their whereabouts, assuming there is still some of them left. They could be far more advanced than auriold themselves, if they indeed kept developing all this time.»

Lordship "Is that so?" He snorts slightly, actually thinking about his close people. "Don't ship me with TiShan, please!" He says out of joke.
"Shouldn't they all be the same beings? They give them different names at most...but I am only making wild guesses.
And hopefully they don't hate us any longer if they are advanced but we are still here.
I want to understand exactly what they would look like. Have you ever seen one with your own eyes?"

LaNii Mort. «I don't. I ship TiShan with Dominic.»

Morius. «No one knows.»
He raises a brow. «Then why have you connected them to those mysterious deaths?»
He nods. «I know what they look like. And if you saw them, you'd know too, because you'd be pervaded by a strong sense of uneasiness. The reason why auriold share this common feeling of discomfort in front of what closely resembles them, but not perfectly… it's because the others hunted your ancestors down so fiercely that the mark still burns inside of your whole kind.»

Lordship "I don't know this Dominic but I'm certain he is a saint. I and TiShan could easily kill each other." He jokes, at least from his side, he wouldn't kill. XD
He snaps his fingers. "A good point. I'm glad we actually uncovered something in our research. It could have even brought us to a bad result.
Can I have paper and pen, Headmaster? I would like to draw them and make something accurate.
I have only seen well their bones. Are they...somehow our predators? That feeling they give...isn't it something like predator-prey?"
