DoA - Drawlloween 2020: Labyrinth Laboratory

Chapter 21: Labyrinth Laboratory

Spessartine looked left and right, there were so many things down here, she just didn’t know where to go, or what to investigate first. There were so many side entrances, so many different passages, every single one of them having something different that they had, secrets which they held. Sounds of bubbling liquids rang throughout the large laboratory, as well as the faint drips as others were separated and more mixed together. Several sea skimmers, abyssal and giant aqrions were working in the small stations, with large polar dragons moving heavy, bulky materials from one region to the other.

 

Spessartine moved away from one of them, trying her best to keep out of their way, while at the same time, trying her best to observe what she could. Very few guests were ever allowed in the lab, but why she was allowed among these eight odd scientists was beyond her, she didn’t see herself as anything… Unique, as she would say. Her crimson eyes looked to and fro as she slowly swam down the large labyrinth of equipment, seeing other jars preserving specimens, holding them there for further study, future questions to be asked and hopefully answered.

 

She moved down slowly through the corridors, only to come across even more equipment! More areas that she could explore, looking through the different areas, taking in so many details as she moved down, but at the same time, she could not touch a single thing. Even so much as touching a feather could result in something being broken, or an experiment becoming incomplete, or maybe even tampered with or giving false results. She could not be the cause of something so horrible! Especially as all these dragons did their best to keep distant from one another.

 

From a few dozen meters away, Spessartine looked over the shoulder of another Aqrion, watching as they worked, moving their flippers slowly to investigate one of those specimen jars that she had seen earlier. They were writing down notes, but about what, she couldn’t read them from the distance she kept. Seeming she couldn’t tell just what it was, she moved on from it, curiosity about the whole lab burning, she wanted to ask questions, but at the same time, she didn’t want to interrupt their work.

 

Rumbling instead, she began to move away from them all, deciding to leave these scientists busy at work. Although it was a very curious thing that they were doing and how intently they studied… It was not something that she wanted to get into. Not at all! It was too particular.
