There weren't always dragons in the valley, but there was a false belief that the CSS had been around forever. Several miles outside of the densely populated central village capital, was the entrance to the CSS's central headquarters.
A large 150-acre open space appears within the Cauzma, or Central Village forest. Only appearing after a several-mile hike through the large, tall, Cauzma plant and tree life. Behind thirty miles of completely wild land, hides a large open space. Surrounded by tall trees a windy skinny road leads into the CSS headQuarters.
Stone walls 90 feet tall, spread around the entire open space and premise of the HQ. The land is said to have been empty of trees for over three thousand years and the irrigation system that was installed still feeds the thirsty grounds.
Behind the stone wall stood a monstrous gray building. Standing tall, exactly 90 feet tall, was the dirty gray cement structured welcome building. This building looked like a prison, the cement instead of stone created a horrifically looking castle. Like a dark, ominous castle in the middle of the woods, the CSS welcome center stood, looking very unwelcoming.
Everything about the entrance ground screamed power. Larger-than-life shrubs and garden gates unfolded into a perfectly kempt green wonderland. Miles of green lush trees and grass were not uncommon in the great central areas, but this grass was different than any grass in the Central lands.
The central land villages had nice shrubs and large expansive trees, and bushes. The grass was tall, bright green, and had dark yellowish weeds or plants spouting along the outside of the flatlands. The tall grass was kept wild leaving space for the animals to be free. Densely populated VCAC represented villages had all tall grasslands fenced off away from the citizen's villages and marketplaces.
The CSS HQ within the Cauzma forest had dark green grass, and the length of the grass stood out making it very unique. It was extremely short grass and felt soft and fuzzy, contrary to the sticky prickly nature of the grass spread around the other parts of the region. Beyond the apparent differences, the grass also gave the appearance of health and vibrance that was absent in all other plant life in the Cauzma Forest.
The large hideous gray cement building greeted each traveler with a mysterious and ominous ritual. When an individual enters the long windy road the cement building sporting dark yellow letters comes to life, and its employees greet all visitors 9 miles away from the CSS welcome building.
The yellow "CSS Welcome Center" words are large and placed at the front of the nasty gray building. The welcome committee would be several CSS welcome members wearing bright striped uniforms. It was this teal-like blue with the ugliest tint, and all of the officers wore a yellowish grin against their grayish complexions.
Blue or teal on the body, yellow around the mouth, and, gray on the face made the entire group look like aliens. The yellow of the gloves and the "CSS" on each uniform stood out from far on the dirt road full of tight turns. The road was like an "S" or a snake and it led right up to a cement cave of captivity.
Most people get turned around by the army of smiling stained yellow teeth much before they get the chance to see the door leading into the welcome center.
The welcome center is just a ginormous front, nothing is welcoming about that center and if you go into that building, there are low chances of you EVER coming back out.
The tall eroded stone walls and the entire cement building were just covers for a devious and secret location. 18 miles underground the cement building, was indeed the actual CSS Headquarters. This facility is such a legend because the welcome center creates the perfect facade for transparency.
On paper and by appearance, the only building behind the faded stone walls, was the cement building. BUT, just under the surface lay the most corrupt and manipulative HeadQuarters of all time, the CSS.
To the uninitiated, the CSS was just the central village's security system, But the trained eye could see that the CSS was just an evil corporation hell-bent on control. One of the worst things that the CSS had ever done was...
