"It's not my fault you are a pussy" Zee said to Typhis as my sense were coming back to me, she was holding an opened hand cloaked in purple flame in front of his face,

Typhis had an anger infused confusion on his face with both hands pointed towards her in a ready stance to fight, "I'M SORRY, people don't just APPEAR places, let alone in this hell pit and you expect me to think heyyy a FUCKING mutant rat dinosaur zombie is outside the door, if anything that's just a Tuesday. Woah look at that a woman who I was told was impaled to death who just appeared from a ball of fire that came from an INANIMATE OBJECT. Nothing weird there, if anything, she must be ready to help the situation"

Standing up they both turned towards me, "Okay one thing at a time, we can be at each others throats once we figure out what is going on here. That is the real Zee. And Zee that is the real Typhis... Probably"

Zee investigated the room around us with skeptical eyes, the same stone walls with a slab bed in the middle. "hey jumpy the kangaroo" she pointed at Typhis, "Judging from the chair incident on the way down here, you have earth magic?" Typhis nodded yes, Zee stomped hard on the floor echoing the room, she listened intently then smiled. "Good, gather around I have a plan."

POV Flesh Gollum

Forty years. It had been forty long, cold, hungry years that the amalgamation of souls and bodies that was ourselves got crated, then left to defend the upper layers. Master demanded we must not move past our territory and to never let any living being aside from those who smell of Masters magic to be left to go about their business. Master had died five years ago, unable to make any decisions or changes to our lifestyle since free will was never gifted to us. Finally, today we get food again, the door was finally opened by those who didn't belong. From the shadows our thinking head studied them, one intruder was taller and held a long stick that REEKED of magic, stronger magic then masters even. A shorter one who made us feel... Uneasy. As if we were an ant hunting a lion, short one would be our first target. No matter how much thinking head argued that the stick was much worse then the actual humanoids our two primal heads both agreed, the shortie was the optimal choice for a surprise attack. Ambushing them from the shadows Master created to mislead people we were certain we killed shortie after penetrating through their chest, the tall stick wielder ran towards the fresh carrion . We were too weak from hunger to do anything but eat so when the taller one with the stick ran towards our prey we let them go. Hoping to increase the tall ones fear and eventual suffering. It sweetens the meat when they attempt to hide after being mentally broken.

A door appeared from the magical shadows as the labyrinth will shift so sometimes this happens, thinking head says it's how the master's designs work to make prey easier for us to ambush. Ignoring the tall one who ran to the new setting of our territory that now included that door we inspected our prize from the earlier hunt. Only... There was no food. Primal heads began to thrash and screech in anger, even thinking head for the first time broke into a survival state from our unending starvation finally about to be sated. Throwing our bladed arm at tall one we missed by being too far away. Tall one closed the door separating themselves from our territory driving all of our souls into a torrent of negative emotion and animalistic rage.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

Sometime after banging onto the door three food ran out into our domain, when they first entered our territory they smelled correctly of master's magic, now however... They smelled of fear and magic of a different kind. Hateful, metallic magic instead of Master's strong death tinted magic. Slaughtering them was therapeutic to thinking head but as always it wasn't enough food to be sated. If anything it made us hungrier then before like a dehydrated man getting only a drop of water. Luckily tall one still hid in the room with the magic stick. If we were able to absorb that magic... Maybe... We could grow in power enough to break this curse and have our own fully formed sentience. Right after taking our last bites of the final robed food a thick ice filled the door way we slowly whittled it away to ensure our food was still captured within the doored room before the room moved from the labyrinths next shift. Primal heads drooled from the thought of the stick the further we chipped the ice away.

The ice exploded outward with no warning embedding spikes deep into our torso and legs. Pain was little more then a part of life for us but our back two legs tendons and muscles were struggling to be used correctly making movement backwards nearly impossible.

POV Jayce

Unsurprisingly Zee was right about our opening attack. Typhis used his absurd strength stat to front kick at the same moment I released adding a crazy amount of speed to the larger chunks of sharpened crystalline ice. We broke into a full sprint to try to get to the sides of the creature, as expected it immediately shot out its arms to both of us, spinning the staff with speed in front of my body the blade glanced off to my left. As the spin finished I rotated my back leg in front of my body switch my stance to face behind me and down cut with the scythe onto the flesh of the arm itself cutting the blade off from the creature with the weaponed end of flesh landing on the stoned floor. Smiling with satisfaction from doing the technique correctly the noodle of the arm whipped back unexpectedly and wrapped itself around me like a coiled snake clinched my arms to my sides along with the staff.

"FFFFFuuuuuuuuu" I yelled as the creature lifted me into the air above it's heads.

"You had one job!" Typhis yelled from the darkness on the other side of the creature.

Holding me upside down the creature brought me half a meter from its heads. Two of it's rat heads had beady red eyes with the center one having focused squinting yellow eyes. Unhinging it's jaw like a snake the yellow eyes heads throat began to glow green.

"Uhhh guys... I think something bad is happening... I may not look it but i am QUITE flammable" Declaring while hanging upside down. The light grew brighter until I could see the flames about to exit from the creatures gullet.

"Oh fuck me"
