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
Perspective. : Conrad Garnier The insect swiftly withdrew its extended limb from Kyle's body, causing a geyser of blood to erupt from his wound. Strange white roots of corrosion began sprouting out of the injury, gradually covering his entire body. Kyle appeared on the verge of losing consciousness as his eyes rolled upwards, blood trickling down from his eyes and mouth. Meanwhile,Fluttering its wings, the insect generated enough powerful force that kept me at a distance, keeping me at bay.I tried, I fucking tried.But the force from its wings was too strong.I had to reach Kyle, anyone had to.The creature, in a desperate display, hopelessly tapped its limbs on the ground, generating a flurry of strikes that came relentlessly. Patrick, standing closest, valiantly defended himself, skillfully deflecting each strike. Yet, he was in no position to reach Kyle.Elkdrack maintained his grasp on its mandibles, while Regina, on the other hand, was forcefully blown the furthest away. Howe
Perspective : Kyle Bonfrost............................................. Nightmare......................................................"What is this?""Where am I ?".I opened my eyes, saw nothing.It was a pitch black void.Yet cold air caressed my skin,From the depths of my bewildered mind, I became aware of a peculiar symphony, faint echoes reverberating through the air.Like water being displaced."How odd!".Curious, I raised myself from my seated position, straightening my posture.I was in a realm of pure darkness, empty hollowness , I found myself adrift upon a small boat, guided by a figure hunched and enshrouded in a cloak of mystery."Who was he?".My mind no eager to ask any questions.As, a sense of relaxation and fatigue enveloped me. My body yearning for a sleep.An eternal slumber for the ages, from which I never wished to be woken up.And Yet, I can't help but wonder."Why is the sky above devoid of any stars?",The sky looked like an abyss of obsidian, that cast
Perspective : Thor Gild"Eeek .. shhhih.... ".I experienced a sudden, unexpected quivering sensation in my body."Ha"."It's kinda funny... I can't feel much of my back anymore"."Well that's a small price to pay for someone's life"."I anticipate that it will return to normal soon after it is free once again".I shifted Ron up a bit. Cracked my neck, as it made a satisfying popping sound."I wonder how Falisha is doing"."Haven't seen her ... since I left the tribe"."I guess she is still taking care of those sheep, left behind by that wandering shepherd once"."Always caring... that one".It was a start of a new day, inside that god forsaken cavern.The only difference was,We had been walking and walking since we all fought those large swarm of ants. Inside that weird chamber. Followed by some occasional run-ins with other swarms of ants.But these times, we evaded them. Carefully, scouting even before we blindly rush an empty suspecting room.Turned out, our friend Robin here had
Perspective : Conrad Garnier"Just who is this guy?"."First that rare mana potion and now these healing potions..... Not even one, two of them at that?"."Is he an alchemist?"."Nope .... that's unlikely"."This forest is filled with plants that could have been made an excellent potion.... at least I think so, ... could have swear..... if I had seen him harvesting any of those?"."Nope he definitely isn't an alchemist"."Come to think of it .... that weird magic of his ... particle magic.... I have heard it's name mentioned some times but never seen anyone use 'em ....huh strange".I pondered, while I stood there unintentionally staring at Kyle.Kyle caught on,"Do you need anything Conrad?".He asked.I replied,"Nope".He responded, "Sure you do .... "."Look at that leg of yours .... that's quite a nasty wound you got there".(Huh)I had completely forgotten about that. My sudden recall of my injury came with a unsuspecting searing pain, followed by a throbbing, like a heart beat.
