The awakening
Story by LocalHellhoundBoi on SoFurry
Chapter two for the story, hope you like it; I certainly enjoyed writing it.
The rusted and cracked pod slowly opened up to reveal it's precious inhabitant who then fell face first onto the ground in a not-so graceful manner. He tiredly picked himself up and looked around to see his would be tomb.

I awoken after being released from something I never saw, it was a glass container that was shining a dull hue and it was the only light I had to accompany me as a slowly begun to reactivate. Everywhere on my body was cold and I couldn't help but shiver despite my lack of energy, it was like I was surrounded by ice.
Slowly and eventually, I pulled myself up and looked around to see if there was anything of interest but no avail. Rusted metal and overgrown plantation has taken over the place from what I could see beyond the faint light, beyond the cryopods light was just pitch black and I needed a more direct source of light if I am to leave this place but from what I can see, it appears that I am in a tomb.
I looked around a bit to see if there was anything of interest but I saw a container next to me which was covered in white and gold metal and had some vines growing off of it. I had to check out what was inside so I tried to open it but the vines plus the rust made it hard, I looked at my hands because my body felt strange, as if it were wearing something.
It turned out I was wearing a suit of some kind after feeling my body, I even had a helmet which I didn't even notice because this suit feels like it is almost nothing, my fingers had some short golden claws which I could probable use to pry the container open. I had no better ideas so I dug my fingers in the opening of the container and heaved, the rust and the vines gave way and the chest was pried open without any true effort.
Inside lied a double edged staff weapon with golden blades along with a bow with golden ends and two pouches full of throwing stars. I took the pouches and placed them on my hips as if I used this weapons before and pulled the bow out and slung it over my back, I then pulled out the pole-arm weapon and placed on my back which it somehow attached itself without any clear reason, I think it's because of magnetic technology.
I looked around once again to see that my only source of light is the cryopod but it started to flicker and then after several minutes of flickering, it then suddenly stopped. Although I couldn't see it, the lights didn't break, it was probably the power running out because I didn't hear them break.
My only source of vision is gone but somehow my vision suddenly brightened up to reveal what was in the darkness, plants overgrew my tomb and actually managed to puncture some of the walls as some of them grew right through them, I couldn't help but feel a bit disturbed that I was unconscious here. I pulled myself together as I then wondered how I was still seeing things, I'm guessing my helmet has night vision properties because I have no other rational answer for it.
I spotted a set of stairs which I could use to exit the tomb so I made my way up there and after a minute or so I arrived at the top. I saw seats and overgrown leafless trees which almost seem to be moving, the floor was disgusting and the flora took over most of it, but beyond it was a large door that lead to a massive hall with golden decorations that appeared to be once beautiful but were now tarnished by age and the foliage.
I quietly made my way through the hall and tried to ignore the disturbing plantation as I had to duck over a few branches to continue my path and after I opened the door to see the exit, I was met with a large body of water, it wasn't a swimming pool but it seems that the room was flooded and the vine growth seemed to have ruptured one of the storage tanks for water.
I had the distinct feeling that my suit was airtight so I simply stepped into the cold and dark waters, hoping not to get killed by anything in the murky shadows. All the sound in the room was now muffled and I continued to make my way through the flooded room and had to pry open one of the doors into the main room
After making my entrance to the main room I then walked over to what was a massive gate and I figured that it was the thing leading outside, I couldn't pry open this one because it was half the height of the entire room which could've been a ship-bay because of the size of it, I looked around to see one of the consoles and I was suddenly greeted by it suddenly activating upon my presence. Subconsciously I knew what to do as I pressed several buttons and a loud rippling noise was heard as the door suddenly jarred as bubbles came through the opening and it then slowly and gradually opened.
The water in the room poured out into what appeared to be a massive cavern which dwarfed the room I was in, I slowly sighed as the water in the room was drained into the cavern, drip drops of water were all I could hear as they echoed through the cavern, I made my way up it until it slowly became more and more narrow until I could see what appeared to be a primitive encampment with a primitive bonfire as strange looking humanoids danced around it and talked, I couldn't understand their language too well as I never caught up with english classes.
I decided to make my presence known by making my way up into the encampment, not aware of the consequences.
