Grotto of Deceptions

The willows aligned to both sides of the lonely road of Yearning and 98th hang low like sorrowful tears of weeping spirits of the woods, wisping and trailing in the light stale winds of the night air. If one looks hard enough, through those weeping willows can be found a hidden door, barred by cage but never long since unlocked. The rusty caged door swinging to and fro to the willows sad song. And if one follows the corridor past that caged door, towards the aquatic blue lights shimmering against the walls, they would come to a naturally carved stone path atop the many waters in the subterranean caverns in its depths. The eerily clear turquoise waters shine with a light beneath that's origins remain unknown. Stalactite and stalagmite structures adorn the vast space, cubbies long ago carved into their sides and candles inserted, offering a secondary light to the cavern.

Round the bend of the unseen corner is an immovable stone door. Engraved upon the surface of the stone are the tracings of a bloodline, carved deep. At the apex of the tree in deep etchings bears the name of Devil Miyu, then tracing down to even deeper, permanent scrawlings of AdaMaS and Drakhaon. This door will not open to any but those who possess the permission of its master. Instead, an airy voice echoes repeatedly from throughout the vast expanse of water, "Turn away from the grotto. Within resides the House of Mahorela. Their secrets shall not be yours."

Upon turning away, the pathway stands blocked by a strange cloaked salesman and his cart of goods. Outstretching his robed arm, a skeletal hand is seen palm to the sky in display of fair trade. He appears to be offering to sell you his wares; shall you buy goods from the hands of the Dead Man?
