The trio was some distance away from the battlefield they were looking at that giant and strange monster.
The creature was as wide as four men and its length was at least 20 meters, its skin was like big rocks and if it stood still it could be confused with the environment, from the cracks in the rocks a strange kind of plant or parasite was attached to the body and these things glow in the dark with a fluorescent light.
"Is that a Fireworm?" Dany asks as she looks at the monster that is focused on its 'food'.
"I'm not sure, but it must be something like that, maybe some different kind of Giant Worms," William replies as he gazes at the monster with a surprised face.
"You say that because he didn't spitfire? But... maybe he just didn't do it for now." Emilly starts talking about her point of view.
"The only thing I've heard about anything that matches the characteristics is the Fireworm." Emilly keeps saying what she thought.
"Yes, me too, but have you ever heard of those other creatures?" William tried to explain his point since there were unknown creatures, perhaps that monster was a variant of the well-known Fireworms.
"True... but at least it explains why the environment has changed so much, these things dig through walls." Emilly decided to give up her argument, it wasn't something important, even if it was fascinating to see such a creature, it was still something that scared her.
"I wonder if there are any more strange things in here?" Dany asks as she looks around and approaches William.
"Probably yes, but still, you needn't be afraid, remember how we fought? We will take care of you." William tries to reassure her, it was frightening to think that anything they heard might be somewhere in that tomb, and even unknown things were here.
"What should we call those creatures?" Dany asked as she stared at the bodies of the dead monsters.
"I don't know, maybe Gollum?" William spoke as he found those things like Lord of the Rings Gollum.
"Gollum"? What does that mean? I think Ghoul would be better." Emilly makes her point.
"Well, I thought the name Gollum was good for them, but Ghoul is good too... What do you think Dany?" William thought the name Emilly spoke was good too, maybe Dany had some idea for it.
“... I don't know... let's think some more, then we'll decide" Dany spoke with some doubt, that would be the name these creatures, they would have needed some more certainty about it.
Everyone agreed that they needed more time to decide what the name of this species would be, but for the time being, they would distinguish the small from the big ones with the explanation 'elite', the normal ones were either cubs or some kind of slave, while the bigger ones were the warriors, so for the time being the small ones would be called creatures and the big ones would be called elite creatures and when the name was decided their qualification would stay with 'elite' for those bigger ones.
They walked again could not waste time, Dany was already tired it was necessary to find a place for her to rest and overnight.
While several of the creatures were watching them and some were following them, occasionally an elite creature would arrive, but as he was alone he would hide and not follow them.
Little other insectlike creatures were around, they were a form of giant cockroaches, these cockroaches were the size of a pigeon, the girls were very disgusted with them.
In time some fluorescent mushrooms began to appear on the walls, and from time to time small fountains of water were found on the wall.
"A mushroom forest, have you ever seen anything like this?" Dany asked while looking at all this sea of mushrooms, there were all kinds and sizes, if they had to be unlucky even poisons would exist there.
"Never" Emilly answered as she stared at that scene before his eyes, it was somehow magical and beautiful that image.
"I've only read it in books," William replied as he acted as the girls did, it was impossible not to marvel at this underground world.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
The more they walked, the more things were emerging, from monsters to an underground mushroom forest, even a legendary Fireworm, or whatever.
Maybe they'd find a hydra or medusa down here? Well, this wasn't a tale world about Greek myths, but who knows...
"There must be a good place to camp." Emilly talks as he points to a place that was relatively dry and protected, it was a good place indeed.
"Okay, let's stay there," William agrees and starts setting up the tent.
The girls look around to make sure nothing was around.
"Why does he take a big backpack and two small ones?" Dany asked curious about William's decision.
"He's silly and wants to act like a pack donkey." Emilly answers with malice.
William who was setting up camp listens and almost falls.
'I just wanted to be a gentleman...' William thinks in reply, perhaps he should abandon his archaic idea and be more modern... ?
The girls started laughing low as they looked at him.
"He got angry," Dany speaks provocatively, she was learning some tricks from her friend.
"Yeesssss, but he's cute when he's angry" Emilly talks as she looks at William's expression.
Dany did not yet know that these two were not blood brothers and sisters, she had not suspected Emilly sleeping with William all night, her room was close to theirs, but it had good sound isolation in the couple's room, and their nocturnal 'talks' were not heard by the young woman.
But this information was about to be revealed to her, not that the couple were going to make their `talks' while she was assisted, but that it was impossible for them not to interact in a more intimate way than a brother and sister were supposed to act...
Of course, if you think of Cersei and Jaime, or the ancient Targaryen kings, this behavior was common, but Dany was about to be surprised, how would she react?
William planned to make two small tents for them to sleep in, it would be him and Emilly, and Dany in the other, at least that's what he thought.
"We'll sleep together, right?" Dany looks at Emilly and seeks her confirmation, even if the girl was already more used to the place and her fear was slowly disappearing, it was still scary to stay in this place, she did not want to sleep alone.
"I'm going to sleep with Will" Emilly speaks with some doubt in her voice and sees the despair that comes in her friend's eyes and she becomes uncertain if she would do that, but she couldn't sleep away from him anymore, what could she do?
"Why? I know you always sleep together... I think it's lovely, much better than the way I was with my... and Viserys were, but please I'm afraid." Dany begged while grabbing her friend's hand, she was too scared to be alone, she thought it was cute that the two of them stayed in the same room every night... but, she was scared now.
Emilly was in doubt, her protective nature was making her want to talk yes, and thus relieving her friend's fear, but she looked at William, who was shocked by the news and was a little saddened by it.
"You can sleep with her..." William even said that he was accustomed to sleeping hugging his older sister's body, he knew it was better that way, Emilly could protect Dany ... well, even if it was impossible for anything to come near him without him knowing.
"Please," Dany spoke as she gained more confidence from William's words, but the decision would still be Emilly's, so she looked at her friend with puppy eyes.
Emilly was about to give in to her friend's request, but then an idea came up.
"I only accept if it's the three of us together" Emilly spoke with a mischievous smile on her face, and she knew Dany was still faking to be angry with William, and in that way, she would force her stubborn friend to be ashamed and stop acting distantly towards him.
Dany turned red from her friend's words and looked to William for help.
William was surprised by Emilly's words, and he couldn't help but get excited about the idea.
"Could be "He spoke as he avoided Dany's begging look and looked forward to the outcome, who would say no to that idea? He certainly wouldn't run from that.
Dany turned red and looked at her friend.
"I cannot sleep side by side with a man..." Dany tried to put some sense into your friend's head.
"Who says it's going to be on the side? It'll be you on one side, me in the middle and Will in the other." Emilly talks with a smile of fulfillment, she was excited about the idea of sleeping with them but she didn't want Dany to be so close to Will, she was jealous after all.
A small disappointment sparkled in William's eyes, but he remained silent.
"...If that's the case, fine." Dany decided to accept, her face turned red, but she'd be close to Emilly and away from William, so she was fine, right?
Emilly smiled and told William to just set up a tent for them, well he was already doing that anyway.
When they lay down Emilly grabbed William and left a free hand for her fearful friend to hold.
"...Aren't you guys a little too close?" Dany looking at that scene couldn't help but ask, she felt a bit of discomfort seeing them that way, it seemed very... romantic?
"I can only sleep like this," Emilly answered without looking at her friend.
Before bed, Dany was sure she heard the sound of a kiss, but she was not sure and now with the entrance closed she could not see very well.
'They are strangers' Dany thought before he fell asleep, what brothers slept like that? She's never heard of it before.
Actually, she has, but she just couldn't connect the dots because of her tiredness.
The other day.
They managed to walk a good distance, some small groups of elite creatures attacked them, but they were easily destroyed, not a large group with more than 10 was found.
They had arrived in a wider place and because of the large number of flowering mushrooms, they could see that it had a radius of at least 80 meters to all sides and that at the highest part there were some flying creatures.
"This is really a lost world..." William spoke in wonder at all the things he saw in his path.
"Look what it is?" Emilly pointed to a great flying figure.
They all looked and saw the thing when the thing stopped the little white-haired girl couldn't help but scream when she saw the winged creature.
