The most astonishing feature of the underworld's laws, though already known thanks to preliminary reconnaissance, turned out to be inverted gravity — having overcome the initial stage of descent downward, the members of Adalard Grimm's military expedition discovered that to proceed further, they needed not to go down, but to climb up. The news of the collapse disappointed many, but the expedition leader did not lose his composure and managed to organize coordinated and efficient work among his subordinates under the new conditions. It was decided to allocate a small portion of human resources to clear the exit to the surface, while the main forces would move to search for Ikazkan. But before that, a roll call was necessary, and the Lord of Gildaria tasked Stefania with checking on each knight's tent, including:
- Knight of the Lush Meadows
- Knight of the Glow
- Knight of the Wild Flowers
- Knight of Unwavering Courage.
- Knight of the Night Silence.
- Knight of the Rusting Soul.
(More details about each when you visit them).
Without much thought, Stefania decided to go in order down the list and started with the Lush Flanks Meadows.
Milord Jacob Yabonsky is sometimes jokingly called the owner of the widest jaw in Gildaria, and more seriously — of an equally wide soul. He is known as a man who never loses his composure and is accustomed to making do with little. He received his title from Adalard as a sign of admiration for the knight's inner world.
The Knight of the Lush Meadows was among those who fundamentally refused to hire servants, and now there was no one in his tent but himself.
- Ah, Stefania. Well, hello. I imagined the underworld a bit differently; I never would have thought the concept of gravity could be so abstract — it seems anything is possible here.
— Hi, Jacob!
Stefania's relationships with her colleagues from Gildaria were mostly warm. This was due not only to the respect earned by her father, but also by herself. She had known some of the knights since her youth, and trained side by side with others. There could be no talk of favoritism; everyone knew she gave her all and that she hadn't ended up in her position for nothing. Therefore, there were no issues with subordination between her and the other knights of Gildaria — she was like family to them. At least, she liked to think so.
— Yeah, you could say it's a sight you see once in a lifetime... — though Stefania hadn't lost her composure, being trapped in this cave, the girl now had doubts that she and all her comrades would be able to get out of here. She wanted to believe that sooner or later they would find a way out and escape, but hope was still faint. If only because it was unknown what troubles lay ahead.
Sensing that Jacob might have noticed her slightly depressive mood, and that the time wasn't really right for existential conversations, she changed the subject and tone of voice:
— Overall, how are you feeling right now? Any thoughts or ideas you'd like to share?
