Something is afoot at Marathon Caye….a Dwarven community has taken root and in their mine digging uncovered a mysterious portal. Join me in exploring the forest above and travel down the dark mine shafts to explore the subterranean levels. Hopefully we won’t get lost down there as we discover if my future is shiny bright.. GOLD bright that is!
Let me start the story from the begging, this is my home Marathon Caye. It is a quaint sim covered in beautiful forests and hidden coves.
Not much goes on here….I spend much of my evenings just lounging at home before a roaring fire contemplating life and dreaming of adventures.
It was just such an evening, I decided to get out and take a walk.. see what was going on about town.
The townsfolk were aflutter about rumors of a portal found by the Dwarves down in the mine.
Curious I spoke with Joe the barkeep at the local tavern..he always has the best gossip.

Joe directed me to go speak to Samuel and Tobias, who just returned from the mines. They were told me a grand tale of how they broke through a wall down the dark mine shafts… and beyond it was unspeakable…just unspeakable… Seriously.. I couldn’t get them to tell me what was there!
So I decided to get my trusty steed and go do a bit of exploring…..
But something spooked it and I fell off….
Forced to watch it dart down the path leaving me alone on foot.
I would not let that deter me so close to finally having the adventure I longed for.

I wandered for what seemed like hours, till I found a cleverly hid entrance to a cave.
This must be a hidden back entrance to the mines! Such clever Dwarves!
Just inside a bit of a way down the dark shaft, I came upon an ancient statue that was 4 times as tall as i was. It’s eerie face leered down on me, scaring me so much I almost turned back.
Almost but I saw an odd glowing at the end of the tunnel… I couldn’t hold myself back….
The tunnel beyond sparkled glowing with lights all about.. it was like being surrounded by fire flies..eerie green fireflies.
At the end of the tunnel the wall gave way and there glowed a beautiful portal.
I couldn’t resist all caution aside, I leaped through the portal and landed on the biggest pile of GOLD!!
So I did what any person would want to do when faced with a mountain of gold!
I leapt.. and slid.. and rolled all around …. it was money…gold…
ALL MINE!!! I AM RICH! I screamed as I tossed the money all over my head! The suddenly the gold started fading.. slipping away from my fingers.. disappearing to a foggy darkness…
And then I woke up.. once more on my bed where Barkeep Joe was nice enough to deposit me once more after my adventures to the tavern… Some day… someday.. I will find that pot of gold!
