11- Climb

As I stared at what was described as the Insect God I felt an immeasurable fear. It felt as if I was staring at death itself. It seemed everyone around also felt this way with many putting their guards up or dropping to the floor. Buzzzzz. This vibration that came from the front reverberated all around. I felt my whole body shaking from this. It seemed like the Insect God was making this noise, for what reason though, I didn't know. Then the floor shook. Behind the Large bug a light started forming. It looked like a crack started forming in the air with light coming out of it.

"CLIMB"

A distorted voice shrieked into my head. Then in almost a trance everyone started running towards the hole. It felt like I had no control over my body. As the people in front of me started getting close to the hole they would suddenly start floating up. They looked like they had no control over their bodies. They would then enter the hole and disappear. Finally I made it under the light and the same started happening to me. I started floating up and flailing at the same time, I had no center of balance. I approached the light. So bright. Then it engulfed me, all I saw was pure white. It took my eyes a while before It adjusted, then once they did I saw that we were somewhere new. I looked around I was able to see grain around me, the sky was filled with dark clouds and the sun peaking out from them. There were trees around that looked like they were shaped like needles. In the distance I was able to make out what looked like a large town. As I was beginning to get situated my head started buzzing once more.

"CLIMB AND BRING ME THE DARK KINGS HEART ONLY THEN WILL YOU BE FREE FROM YOUR CURSE"

Curse? Climb? I had no idea what was going on. It seemed like everyone who went into the light were all here, even the girl with red eyes. I grabbed her by the shoulder and pointed at my head.

"Did you hear that?"

"Yea, curses and climbing"

I let go of her. I still didn't know what the voice meant but the best thing to do was to head towards the town. I started following the dirt path leading to it, the others must've seen me do this and thought the same. It looked like there was about 10 people. It made me wonder what happened to Colt and them. I hoped they were safe but I needed to worry for myself now, after all this was a whole new place. Just at the half way point I started smelling something in the surroundings, it was something I knew very well, dead bodies. I grabbed the girl with the red eyes.

"There's something wrong"

She looked at me with a confused look, it looked like she was wondering what I meant.

"What?"

"It smells like something died here"

Just as she was about to respond to that I heard something rushing towards the path. I didn't know from where but I was able to hear it. Then from the back I heard commotion. It looked human like, all black body elongated fingers that looked more like claws. Its mouth was wide open exposing its teeth that looked like sharpened sticks, it eyed us all with what seemed like eyes covering its face, at least five of them.

"run.. RUN"
