Perspective : Conrad Garnier"Ohh ... my leg feels as heavy as a bloody fucking boulder... for crying out loud".Elkdrack vented,Patrick replied,"Come on ... mate a little bit more ... untill we find a good place to rest for the night".Elkdrack said,"This damn cavern just goes on forever". "Does this even have an end?".Patrick responded,"Considering that ... it's more of an ant colony then a cavern ... it is to be expected"."These tunnels are likely spread out extensively, allowing for faster transfer of food .... they should also be massively interconnected".Elkdrack responded with a rather harsh tone,"Ohh shut up ... I am not in the mood for that".Elkdrack, once again expressing frustration, indirectly mentions me."I will be walkin' all fine right now, like you merry folks... if it 'ad not been, for carryin' someone... seriously, It took quite a toll on me legs."Knowing, who he was addressing that to, I replied,"Stop It .. this is what ... the 7th time you mentioned tha
Perspective : Conrad GarnierWith my fire bolts, we sealed off the small tunnels through which the ants could enter. With Patrick's holy barrier, we created a temporary shield around us to prevent any surprises. To add to our defenses, Kyle released his sand into the air, filling the room with a captivating shimmer of golden dust. After completing these preparations, we could finally take some well-deserved rest.After Regina meticulously arranged the pieces of firewood, she turned to me and asked, "Conrad... If you will".I responded with a confident gesture, conjuring a small flickering flame on my finger. Carefully concealing it with my hand to protect it from extinguishing, I gingerly placed it onto the arranged firewood. Instantly, smoke began to rise as the flame ignited the wood. Sensing the need for a gentle breeze, I blew softly with my mouth, causing the flame to grow and transform into a sizable, scorching fire - perfect for cooking.I said,"Here you go".Patrick responded
Perspective : Conrad Garnier"Ohh ... come on you bozos can't even think of a way to help him ..... talk about pathetic".Elkdrack retorted.Patrick his face contorted in anger, responded,"Like you are one to talk ... you didn't suggest a single thing".Elkdrack as he gestures Patrick to calm down,"Chill mate ... chill ... I was mess'in around".Patrick replied,"Mess'in around"."Do you know how serious this is?"."This forest is filled with things that can tear us to shreds... in the blink of an eye ..."."And we will be overwhelmed... if we don't solve this shit".Elkdrack tries to calm Patrick down, by extending his hand, palm facing downward, and making a gentle waving motion. "Calm down mate ... calm down ".Patrick responded,"Sorry... I lost my compose... there for a moment.... It won't happen again"."But Elkdrack this is serious.... We need to stay together if we want to survive... and return home safely".Regina reacted with a long sigh, as she said,"If only there was a
Perspective : Conrad GarnierA repugnant scent permeated the entire room, causing Patrick to instinctively cover his nose with his hand. He said, "Uhh... oh my lord... what is this smell?" At first, I was oblivious to the odor, but upon hearing Patrick's remark, I began to respond, saying, "What are you talk....". Unfortunately, I was abruptly interrupted as the noxious smell reached me, engulfing my nostrils in a burning sensation. It was truly unbearable, and the source of this offensive scent was coming from above us, those lifeless ants hanging from the ceiling.Regina exclaimed,"Shit.....This stench is intolerable"."Where the fuck is it coming from?".While holding my breath, I gestured upwards and exclaimed, "It must be those creatures." Elkdrack chimed in,"I am glad that they slained all these ants and all but this stench is to much to ask for ".Suddenly, Elkdrack came to a halt, his mouth wide open in astonishment and a mix of disbelief and disgust evident on his fa
Perspective : Conrad GarnierAs those insects lunged down from above, I could feel my heart racing in my chest. Time seemed to slow, every detail etching itself into my mind with crystal clarity. The bugs' elongated forelimbs shimmered ominously as they sliced through the air, closing in on us with alarming speed.In that split second, due to my command, we all dispersed in pure impulse, like a flock of startled birds, each of us scrambling in different directions, driven by sheer instinct and the desperate need for self-preservation. I could hear the pounding of my own footsteps against the cave floor, the sound intensified with each stride.The air around me crackled with electricity, a sense of urgency and fear enveloped us all. The cave walls echoed with our frantic movements, the echoes blending with the chorus of screams and the relentless buzz of those bugs. Pebbles scattered in all directions as we darted between stalagmites and leapt over jagged rocks, our rush-fueled movemen
Perspective : Kyle Bonfrost"What the fuck just happened?". "The course of this battle took an unexpected turn." "Just moments ago, we were running for our lives." "But now the tides have turned".It was a moment of shock and utter amazement for me. "Now is not the moment, I can think about this later." To no longer let my distracting thoughts hold me back, I softly released this word into the air. "Whatever!"Shortly after, Elkdrack declared confidently, "This one's mine." He stood face-to-face with a cornered insect, his left leg ensnared by the sticky sap it had released.Meanwhile,Regina and Patrick had also managed to trap another one. But something felt off. "I distinctly remember there being one more of these things lurking around"."Where the hell is it now?"."Did it flee?"."No"."That's unlikely".As I spared a glance at Conrad, I noticed his vigilance, his eyes scanning the room."Where is it?".With unwavering concentration, I endeavored to block out all sensory
Perspective : Conrad GarnierMy vision suddenly became blurry, a throbbing pain began to throb in my head, and I could sense the warm trickle of blood running down my nose. Elkdrack, caught in the same agony as I, exclaimed in disbelief,"What the hell is this?".It wasn't just him, though; everyone else was experiencing the same thing.Patrick wasted no time and swiftly thrust his sword into the ground, as he said, "Cleanse the air." Instantly, a radiant and soothing light began to emanate from his blade, forming a massive bubble of luminosity that expanded rapidly. The light enveloped our bodies, filling the room with its comforting glow, banishing the nauseating sensation we were experiencing.After casting that spell, Patrick took a moment to breathe and said,"Well that should do the trick?".I reckoned he knew, what that nauseating sensation was, so I asked him."What was that?".Patrick replied,"I don't know?".But Kyle with a gaze filled with confusion and curiosity, with a
Perspective : Conrad GarnierThe threat on our life was closing in on us. The mere sight of that thing walking make us all broke out in cold sweat.And yet, I can't help but marvel in the beauty of our deaths approaching us.(I wonder... If I die will I see her again).(These past days have been so hectic. That her looks have completely escaped my mind).(But one thing is undeniable... that smell of ash ... Ohh what I won't do to smell that again).(So be it ... If its death, I accept it).I spread my arms, as If welcoming a warm embrace. The warm embrace of death.(I want to see her again).That was when I felt a pounding pain in my right cheek, It was Regina staring at me with those teary eyes.As she spoke,"What the hell is wrong with you?"."Are you wishing to die?".As she said that, I came back to my senses."What the hell is wrong with me?"."Why was I thinking like that?".A unnatural thought had dawned upon me, but why?Is this because I felt so close to dying, or was that be
