Delta hummed as she eyed the massive room.It was a blank slate, the roots covering the floor, breaking into parts for smooth dirt floor, crawled up the walls and stopped just before the ceiling.To Delta, the room was bright as day but she knew it was in total darkness.Delta pretended to adjust goggles.“Amazing, this tech is so advanced I can barely tell I’m wearing any! Can this surpass the Wooden Cog?!” she mocked in a deep voice that she took from several stealth games that she had played. Stretching, she walked forward. At her current pace, she wouldn’t hit the end of the room for some time. She was used to tight halls or the Grove. Even the bottom of a pond.This space was so much more that Delta actually felt a little like a mouse that had left the safety of her cartoon mouse door.Hob and Gob came back a short while ago and they seemed pretty angry but they didn’t say what was wrong. Hob looked like he was about to punch something. Gob just bowed his head and dropped what little offerings they had.Delta could have pushed but the goblins immediately left, almost with a yell.Did another spider attack them? If everything Delta had learned about Goblins were true, then they did not like losing. Delta frowned and turned to look back at the stair room where her Core sat.

They will be fine. They are, if in some limited way, immortal.
