Owen stood in the mouth of the tunnel, peering into the darkness. Grabbing a lightbrick from the pile next to the mouth. he flipped the switch and took a few tentative steps into the shadows.

After maybe a half-hour's worth of walking, he stepped into a large underground chamber. People ran back and forth, some with drills, some with blueprints, one with bright orange sleeves and shoes ran by with a wrench on his belt and some scrap metal in his hands. He saw the young man, probably late teens-early twenties, stumble and drop the metal on the smooth dirt floor. Owen walked over and helped the young man up.

"You should be more careful, son," Owen said. "You could hurt yourself like that."

The young man nodded, said a quick "thank you," and picked up the metal before scampering off in the same direction. Owen gave a chuckle and resumed his progress to the center of the town.

Once he reached the approximate center, Owen found himself in a triangular park. Pale blue-green plants grew from the earth and on the benches, everywhere except for a large fountain off to the left. Owen walked towards it, as if it was calling him. The fountain was at heart a large stone basin with a figure on a raised pedastal in the center. Water gurgled from between the large figures' feet and ran into the basin.

But it wasn't the water or the fountain that drew Owen's eye. It was the figure. The figure was a hulking, broad-shouldered thing, roughly humanoid in shape. Its head was located on the front of the chest, letting its shoulders rise above it a little ways. Fastened to these shoulders were long arms that hung down lowards the knees. The arms ended in three-clawed hands, each claw located 120 degrees away from the other. A slope spiraled around the three claws, so that they would form a drill if they locked together. The legs were large and powerful, ending in wide, flat feet. The whole figure was wide and powerful in appearance, carved from a single piece of black marble except for the eyes and a single sphere just below the head. The eyes were an inlay of pale green quartz and the sphere was a single diamond.

"So, you've finally arrived," a voice from behind Owen said. "About time, too."
