Chapter 5
Chapter 6
Walking out towards the pit, at the very last second before the path turned downhill, they were greeted by a person wearing nothing but an undone purple house coat. Judging by his mumbling and hand gestures, he must’ve been a kind of shaman, for who the two concluded was meant to bring them good fortune inside the dangerous depths of the mine.
The path was wider than they expected it to be. They walked side by side with one another and there was still plenty of room for people with empty wheelbarrows to accompany them at the inner side of the wall – they were walking at the outer side, with about two feet distance to the edge of the path still.
As they advanced deeper into the mine they got an even better look at just how big it was. After what must have been at least a 10 minute walk downhill, they still couldn’t see its bottom – it appeared as if they travelled no distance at all. Looking over at the other side of the mine, they could see workers going up – pushing wheelbarrows full of whatever ore they were excavating from the depths.

Ohhhhhhh I'm so behind :(
I need to set some time away to read everything I missed!! great use of the prompt in this today though!!
No worries, it's there to stay (and advance, of course) for you to enjoy at your own time :D Besides, Chapter 5 hasn't been edited and published in full yet anyway, so... :P (Thinking of making some (minor, hopefully) changes to it, but haven't quite committed to it yet.
Thank you! Was a hard one, to get a house coat to the mines somehow.
Oh, that is an interesting use of the prompt! Your stories are always so....gunslinger-y. Nice work ;)
Anyway, I'm in charge of delivering the next prompt (which I really hope you'll do), so there ya go:
