Venus glanced down at the gapping darkness. She raised her arms to protect her head as she fell into the darkness.
Venus expecting a ditch or cannel on the other side of the wall, not an open tunnel leading into the darkness below.
Venus fell over and over, her body flipping around like a ball as she fell down the tunnel.
She was knocked against the walls before the tunnel shifted angle and she finally came to a slow decline and she fell into a heap at the bottom of the tunnel.
For anyone looking on, it would like Venus was dead but she was very much alive, laying there in the darkness trying to catch her breath as her body was screaming in pain.
Finally after a few minutes Venus adjust her person to her hands and knees and rose slowly.
Venus stretched her arms and legs and ensured nothing was broken. She felt pain on her right arm, but apart from that she felt intact.
Venus looked around, trying to see but due the little to no light it was hard. Venus could make out opening the tunnel so she rose slowly and started walking down the nearest tunnel.
Venus now started cursing herself for throwing away her clothes and weapons in an attempt to lure the lizard men, as she was now naked as the day she was born in near pitch-black tunnel that may or may not have more lizard men in it.
After a sore toe from being stubbed on a rock and a bump to her hip, Venus came across a larger cover, that had some light originating from the walls.
Venus looked around, the cavern was filled with large shells, all broken, although what Venus did see made her catch her breath. Around the centre of the room wore 4 corpses, that looked female, although what panicked the shadow hunter was the fact that all of them had distended skin on their stomachs, and one looked like the skin had burst.
Now it seemed to make sense to Venus. No one really knew how the Lizard men breed, but now Venus could guess. They would hunt human females, and impregnate them over and over again. Some speculated that the lizard men wore born naturally others thought from eggs. Now Venus knew, once the females wore impregnate the lizard men never really came from the female like a human, rather what she could tell was a large egg would be expelled and the lizard man would hatch from it. And judging by the 3rd corpse that had the skin burst that egg perhaps didn’t pass her hips.
Venus swallowed hard and reached for her hip, but against remembered she was weapon less.
Just then two large hulking figures entered the room. Venus couldn’t tell what they wore, they didn’t exactly look human but Venus had seem the odd hunter or two in her time wear the skin of kills…
Who has entered? Some aid for Venus, 2 abnormal lizard men or ....
