...
Huh?
Where am I?
Didn’t I finally fall asleep?
God, I took what had to be 3 hours just to fall asleep, and I just wake up again?
Jesus.
“Ugh.”
Reaching up to grab my blankets, I quickly notice that I didn’t have it.
...Ok? Where’d it go?
Finally opening my eyes, I see a strange sight.
Looking around, I can see several stalactites with tips that have been roughly grounded off.
Something tells me my dad decided to take me on a surprise vacation again.
Sigh.
Placing my hands on the ground, I can’t help but slightly wince as the coarse rock dug into me as I got up.
Glancing around to see what my dad wants me to see so bad, immediately I notice a few things. On my left is a pitiful imitation of a scarecrow, something resembling a t splitting off at the bottom into split legs.
Weird.
Decidedly ignoring the stickman, I spin in a circle, noticing a pile of rock, most likely the stalagmites, a hole, and a wooden desk, having nothing but a dirty top and three drawers in a vertical line, two of which were broken.
Glancing back at the hole, I can't help but feel some sort of… tug on my mind when I look at it.
I look away towards the only thing interesting, I walk up to it and first simultaneously open the broken ones first, the top and bottom.
The first one catches on nothing and the second ones empty.
Doing good.
Dramatically placing my hand on the last one, I slowly pull it open, putting on a look of anticipation.
Inside there's a---
Book.
Actually a yellowing book bound with leather, I pretentiously correct myself as I flip it open.
The first page is filled with some sort of language that looked similar to a bunch of symbols that didn't resemble anything. Flipping through, the rest of the notebook is the same.
Wow!
So if im not wrong, what this means is---
I can’t read it.
Thanks dad.
I'm glad I got a book of unknown origins, unknown language, and with no name for my birthday. In a cave with bad air. With a hole in it.
“…”
*sigh*
Flipping the book onto the table as I walk towards the hole, I run to avoid the dust that was sent flying. Stupid dust always makes me sneeze.
Following the tug on my mind, I pass through bends and some ups and downs, jogging for almost 3 minutes straight.
How long is this thing!?
Honestly i’m not even sure my dad did this anymore, there's no way he could carry me all this way without getting me dirty, and god knows he wouldn’t ask for help. Maybe my friends were in on this.
Soon, I can finally see some sort of exit. By the way, how am I not breathing hard?
As soon as my line of sight lands on said exit, the tug on my mind becomes even stronger, almost physically pulling me along.
*Squelch*
Huh?
That was disgusting. What was that?
Quieting my footsteps, and slowing as I reach the exit, I can see that it expands into a large cavern to the left, with both stalagmites and stalactites, both of which have thorns akin to a roses, as if they were somehow were created that way solely out of spite for bats..
Ok. Enough of this. Where am I.
Somewhat annoyed while rounding the corner, I quickly skim over a green pond and then my gaze shows me something incredibly odd.
*Splat*
“What. The. HECK!”
I swear to god, it was just pressing some sort of giant fish against its head!
And then it just tossed it to the ground into a pile of mutilated corpses!
*Clang*
*Clang*
*Splat*
The thing just kicked the corpse and kicked some weird ball out of it!?
It just went and grabbed the ball, and I could feel my eyes breaking the eye popping world record as the ball began to melt into the things hand.
*Clang*
O-oh cr-crap.
It's looking at me.
*Clang*
*Clang*
*Clang*
*Clang*
*Clang*
Th-the hole! Get to the hole!
Adrenaline pumping through me already, I immediately spin on my heel, and start sprinting-
*Bang*
But the hole was gone.
“N-No.”
Scrambling around, I can only watch as the.. thing. No, the knight approached me.
Its armor was rusted all over, and I could see no cloth covering the thing.
Green blood absolutely covered its helmet, and it dripped onto the ground.
“N-AHH!”
Without warning, the tug on my mind quickly turned into a different feeling. It felt like with each step of the knight, Thors hammer slammed into my head, sending thousands of currents into my veins! It hurt so bad!
“AHHH!”
A scream pierced the quiet room. Then I realized it was mine.
Sitting up immediately, I throw my blanket aside but wince and stop. A slight moan escapes me as what just happened came back to me, along with the pain.
I close my eyes and cradle my head quietly, my sharp breaths slowing as the sensation starts to fade away.
Soon, the sensation was gone, but I didn’t move.
*Ding!*
Huh? Who's messaging me?
I open my eyes and turn to grab my phone but-
Welcome to Volipson
...
Gone.
Huh.
