They began walking around, navigating their way through the giant boulders. Daniel and Katherine kept their hoods on. They bumped into some people who are walking at opposite directions. They kept on walking until they arrived at a marketplace. The stalls around the market are made out of bricks. Meat and vegetable products are displayed at the stalls. A lot of people are walking around ,carrying bags. They felt the ground rumbled. They looked around and saw a man riding a circular vehicle made out of rocks. People around them are transacting with the merchants. The man riding the vehicle approached them. He handed them a scroll. Daniel grabs it. He unrolled it and saw their cartographic sketch.
"Oh shit! We've been compromised!" He showed the scroll to Katherine and Virgil.
"We have to move quickly," sai
Virgil transformed into her human form. As a human she looks like a typical Caucasian girl with long reddish brown hair that almost reaches her waist. Her lips is almost pouting, her big round eyes is yellow in color. The appearance of her ears did not changed, they just got a little bit bigger. She is also wearing a black short bottoms and a black fitted crop top with no sleeves. "God! I hate this form!" Virgil's voice became pitchy and more feminine. Daniel chuckled lightly. It prompts Virgil to kick him in the crotch. "Don't laugh at me moron!" the cat yelled. Daniel wheezes as he holds his crotch. "We have to get out there now and beat the
Back at Bouldrusse, three residents stumbled upon the crater where Golemus resides. They found his hibernating body lying peacefully on the ground. Upon their discovery, they immediately reported the incident. Everyone assumed that he was defeated by the infamous three travelers. They realized that the three of them arrived at the city, undetected. Someone suggested that they should conduct a citywide manhunt. The higher ranking officials considered it but they realized that the three travelers have already went inside the tunnel and it is in the law that no residents from the city must enter the tunnel at all cost.Back at the tunnel, Katherine asked Daniel and Virgil if the dish she made is good."Yes! It's so good!" Daniel replied."The meat is so tender, and
Virgil woke up. She stretched her arms and looked around. She found out that Katherine and Daniel fell asleep. Both of them are snoring loudly. Virgil smiled while looking at them. She then stood up and did some stretching.After several minutes, Daniel and Katherine woke up. Both of them wiped their eyes. They both yawned too."Are you ready to go again?" Virgil looked at them, smiling.The two of them nodded, confidently.Without any hint of hesitation, the three of them started moving again. They went out of the tunnel and greeted once again by the great flooded city. Outside it's still raining. Virgil tried to form the orb again. Unfortunately, she failed to maintain it again. She stomped on the ground out of frustration."Why can't I do it!" she yelled.Daniel tapped Virgil's back. "Be patient. I know you'll get it to work, eventually. Just keep trying." He kept on tapping Virgil's shoulde
Virgil and Katherine woke up. They saw Daniel sitting near the serpent's head. It seems like they are having a conversation. "What do you think they're talking about?" Katherine asked. "I have no idea," Virgil replied. A few minutes later, Daniel crawled back to his original spot. He crawled carefully, making sure he won't fall. The serpent's skin feels a little bit rough despite being wet. Daniel approached Virgil and Katherine along the way. "The serpent said, we're still far away from the tunnel," said Daniel. "That's fine. As long as we can reach our destination, that's fine." Virgil gazed upon the sky. "There's no need for us to rush Daniel." Katherine smiled at Daniel. He smiled back at him. The serpent turned its head to look at them. "My apologies passengers. I hope you all can endure the
Virgil and Katherine approached Daniel. The mermaid greeted them with a smile."How are you doing?" Virgil asked."I'm fine, They gave me medicine. I guess it helped," Daniel replied."That's good!" Katherine smiled at Daniel."People her are nice especially that healer dude and this nurse." Daniel pointed at the mermaid. The mermaid smiled."That's good to know that you are enjoying their service here," said Virgil."It's surprising that there is a functioning hospital in this world." Daniel looked around, examining the room."Yes. There are lots of treatment facilities here. They are designed to give a little comfort to sick souls." Virgil explained."It just doesn't make sense." Daniel pinched his chin."I am a little bit confused too," said Katherine "It doesn't make sense to me that a world designed for punishments and suffering has a place that offers comf
Daniel, Virgil and Katherine navigated their way out of the tunnel. The tunnel is not a straight path. They are practically going in circles. They are having difficulties in looking for the way out. They moved their gas lamps around, only to find out that they keep going back on the same places.Virgil grunted. "Curse this tunnel!" She stomped her foot on the ground."Relax! I know we'll find our way out of here, eventually," said Katherine."It's been forever! We're practically going in circles" Daniel complained."Complaining won't help. We must keep moving. We must memorize every turns we make." Katherine moved her gas lamp around. She then picked up a piece of stone and rubbed it on the wall, leaving a mark
The three of them walked around, ignoring everyone. People around them are all feasting over jugs of wine and chunks of meat. They are all having a good time. They are singing unfamiliar tunes while dancing around the campfire. The three of them sat on a corner watching the people. "This is tedious" Virgil lets out a deep sigh. "You're fucking right." Daniel sighed as well. "I want to leave this place," said Katherine. "Aren't we all?" Daniel lets out another deep sigh. "We'll wait for a right timing then we'll get out of here." Virgil scratched her chin. "God I hate my life," Daniel complained. The three of them went silent. They just sat in their spot, watching people enjoy themselves. Daniel looked around. He saw the chieftain conversing with other people. They are laughing while drinking liquor. Daniel kept his eye on the man. He observed his actions, carefully. The chieftain seems
"What do you mean no one's leaving?" Virgil asked. "No one's leaving until the end of the festival. That's what I meant!" the chieftain replied. Virgil lets out a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness," she said. "Excuse me sir." Daniel raised his hands. "What do you usually do during the festival?" he asked. "We eat a lot, we gather our harvests, we danced around and have fun," the chieftain replied. "But most importantly we held a seasonal game event." He clenched his fist and raised his hand into the air. He looked at Daniel and smiled. "Sounds amusing." Daniel smiled awkwardly. "After the festival, you'll let us leave right?" Virgil asked. "We'll see about that." The chieftain smirked at Virgil. He then walked away from them. "I have a bad feeling about this," said Daniel. "Same Daniel, same." Virgil frowned. All of a sudden they heard a lou
