#dreaming

Earl says "Just a guess, would the Hades position be filled by a sluagh?"

A chuff.

"Yeah... he loves the job.. all the infrastructure, under tunnels and more..." LEx says

Earl grins, "So we're free to move about?"

"Yeah sure.... Zeus will worry about that new trods. not his actual name. He says he'd be a 'storm' if this were a lodge. Weird thing.. just a while back, the balefire grew stronger too. "

"And what do you do here, Mister Lex?"

"Zeus being a troll?"

"Oh I help ... there are like ten regulars... but I didn't help found the place. And yeah.. oh I'm sorry, what should I call you two?"

Earl looks at Zara. His expression shows Lex has made a good impression on him

"Persephone and Dis." A gesture at herself and Earl, respectively.

"Oh Hades is going to think that's hilarious, no offense. Please, come on which do you want to meet first?"

"Hades being the Mountain?"

"Uh.. I guess? I kind of tuned out with some of the lore ... come on, I'll lead you down. It's a bit dark"

And down they go... into a place most folks would find creepy and a bit unpleasant..underpipes and in crawlspace.... but oh how the dreaming changes it, and how Zara's eyes drink it all in... webs shining like moon beams intercrossed, tunnels like cavern passages with crystaline marks and scrapping scars as if lost souls had been dragged down... and that? that's just the start
