To the outside world,97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiM5keHQay
I consumed the potion that Ivy gave me. It was bitter and tasted a lot like cough syrup. I shrunk down to the size of a mouse and entered the walls. The groaning was almost too intense for my tiny ears to handle; I think my head might explode if it got any louder.97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmOfPm9sEA
Ivy crawled through the wall with me and she barely made it. If it came down to the worst case scenario, she was capable of disassembling herself. She smiled politely, putting her two twig arms together. "I guess I'm the older sister now, Saira!"97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52LSbUVf2Z
"Only until I can stop this awful noise."97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75lWPGcOUm
The walls had a long path of pipes inside of it, and I climbed my way to the top. I noticed a small tent in the distance, and something was crawling out of it. "Why does that beetle have a tent, and why is it living in my metal walls?"97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNp26OuTE1
"Well, some beetles do live in walls, but I think this one is just unique."97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHhioUjmmr
"Will you two loud mouths keep it down!" the beetle screamed at us. "It's already bad enough hearing that blasted crying!"97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4U6CW6GJI
"I came here to deal with it, do you know where it's coming from?"97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQWRqCB0Jz
"No, and I don't want to. It sounds like it would eat me alive in a heartbeat. I try to stay away from hungry predators, and you should do the same."97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAb3HDN36d
"No can do. I've dealt with crazier things than this."97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR8fIz5o92
"Yeah, and I can see how dealing with things has fried that pink blob of yours."97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLBOQkPKsq
"You mean the brain?"97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGavWwFxYs
"What other pink blob could I be referring to? Actually, don't answer that. I don't want to learn any more about your terrible species."97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2hJjvxbkr
"Just so you know, our species has a history of eating insects."97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW525hixjQd
The beetle fled back into its tent. "Just continue forward and you should come across it."97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzayfvDcZBo
"Saira, stop being mean to the beetle."97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnEcXHeHPY
"It was being mean first!"97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21w0bzUKgt
We continued our journey through the wall. I stayed close to Ivy as the walls faded into a dark, rotten green. "We'll be okay, Saira."97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFtlQTbCaS
