His whole body racked with pain as he rolled over jagged rocked and pointed branches but quickly numbed by a burst of adrenaline. A tremor ran through the ground as Prominence pronounced at Ze Shous last position and overshot Ze Shou, who ducked and rolled before running with renewed spirit. Ze Shou now running again with Prominence causing carnage behind him; the ground shook as the big cat swiped at the towering trees.
Splinters whizzed by Ze Shou, who was focusing on getting back to see 'The Code,' the white trails following the shards of splintered wood was easily distracting for others. Still, for Ze Shou, his mind was solely focused on survival. 'The Code' fluctuating before dyeing his vision changing the world from what people would generally describe as a plant, dirt, sky. Ze Shou could see lines of numbers and letters ever-changing flying off from certain places and even occupying space.
Now achieving his goal, pain coursed through his head after a few moments of attaining the 'The Code' Ze Shou quickly looked around or a path that would highlight the route to his survival scanning the ground. His body turned rigid as his amethyst eyes looked at the numerous gibberish of letters that littered the ground black instead of the feeling of safety; he usually got the only sense he got was death. Certain death if he continued running from cover to cover towards the safety of the cave.
He was at a complete loss, his mind spun as the danger behind him was coming closer, and the time to see 'The Code' was coming to a close. Ze Shou trying to find a solution fast as he then scanned the soundings next and his salvation was...the cobra currently boiling alive? In Ze Shous vision, the cobra was highlighted in gold shining like the sun high in the afternoon before it turned into a red blob that was ever closer like the current spaces sun.
Now that salvation was found, Ze Shou ran with renewed vigor; adrenaline burst threw him as his heart felt like it would pop like an overinflated balloon. His body pumped everything it could to run over to thrashing snake boiling in the basin. The cobra now lost its glistening red scales now had a deep-fried brown too it with blood-red popped blisters with chunks of flesh missing. Ze Shou charging toward the basin of boiling water was a few tens of meters away with Prominence right behind him. With the new sound of carnage, the frenzied cobra locked on to the sounds with what's left of its half-melted face. It issued a thundering roar before its throat exploded due to excess pressure further infuriating it.
Blood now flowing like a fountain where the spine connects to the head of the cobra flailed it mangled body madly at the two subjects approaching it in its wounded state. Ze Shou, now less than ten meters, felt his body itch to jump to the dirt did so as his body slid a few meters. Prominence flying over his body landing at the raging cobra, the two monsters now both boiling in the basin that had a good amount of water left were now focused on each other. Ze Shou sprung up and ran towards the cave; once he reached the base of where the waterfall would be, he started to climb the rocky path towards his cave, ignoring the monstrous roars behind him.
The rock spikes were emitting steam as Ze Shou climbed, he chose rocks that emitted the least to avoid the least amount of burns, but the pain was no less excruciating. His hands blistered as he moved; the skin on his back now had blisters as the sun's light greatly intensified. Now less than a meter from the cave, a roar was heard from behind him. He looked back only to see a bloody Prominence missing half a face with an angry eye clawing the rocks madly towards Ze Shou.

Ze Shou, now faced with his angry predator friend, started climbing even faster, no longer choosey with climbing rocks. His climbing speed significantly increased, and in a moment he was on even ground and dashing towards the hole. Looking over his shoulder, he could see Prominence reaching the crest and climbing over, Prominence racing over to Ze Shou. Ze Shou now at the entrance of the cave dove through the hole prominence right behind slammed at the entrance roaring madly with its half-melted face with one arm in clawing wildly at Ze Shou.
Ze Shou gasping for breath looked at the deranged big cat madly clawing at him while sporadically switching colors. The frenzied big cat roared, shaking the cave, even taking back steps from the cave and ramming the entrance with its body trying to create a wider opening. The cave rattling around, causing rocks to fall, stalagmites craking, raining dust and rocks that fell cutting Ze Shous skin.
The next time the half-melted Prominence charged the hole cracks ran through the top of the cavern, the dust, and rocks that were falling increased exponentially and became larger rocks the size of a head fell. The stalactites hanging above cracked and pierced the ground one next to Ze Shous head, giving a beautiful laceration across his cheek, exposing the fatty bodies.
Blood slowly ran down; Ze Shou ran to the side of the wall and hugged it with his back. Looking to his right at the hole, he saw PProminence lining up to ram again Ze Shou looked around for a weapon that can be used to fight Prominence. In case of an even he can't escape after Prominence gets through the hole. He was looking at the shattered stalactites in the ground, hoping for a complete one the size of his arm.
Between looking between Prominence and the stalactites, Prominence's next charge drew his attention as the melted face blew through the small gap half its body coming with it before getting stuck. Now in range of his prey, his forearm with melting flesh, patches of fur missing replaced with blisters supported the half body prominence as the other disfigured forearm swept towards Ze Shou.
Ze Shou ducked down and performed a frog jump, narrowly hitting his head on the bottom of sweeping paw. Rocks were pelting him as he grabbed a fallen stalactite half the size of his body with hands. Before spinning in a circle and throwing the dark stalactite into Prominence half-melted face. This seemed to be the straw that broke the camels back as the big cat didn't expect its prey to fight back.
The leftover hair on its body seem to bristle as sparks seem to pop off the big cat's body seemed as if it were to ignite and explode. Ze Shou simply grabbed another fallen stalactite and chucked it at the cat. He repeated the action grabbing every fallen piece of stalactite greater than his arm. Prominence, on the other hand, glowed dark; red sparks constantly flying off as the temperature in the cave seem to spike the big cat suddenly screamed and clawed madly at the ground.
Ze Shou, preparing to throw another rock, stopped as he noticed that Prominence seem to be no longer focused on him instead was just clawing as if to get away from something. Ze Shou looked at the big cat tilting his head as if expecting some kind of trick, but as the walls grew redder Ze Shou. Ze Shous body reacting sent warning signals to run. Soon the red hot walls slowly started to drip red hot liquid beads onto Prominence, who had suddenly stopped moving mouth wide open. Ze Shou leaned in closer but soon saw flames erupting from the dead cat's mouth, making him back away and start to move towards the underground passage.
Soon the walls started to sag flowing onto the dead tiger igniting the body into a burst of flames. Ze Shou, now caught by toxic air, decided he has seen enough and moved down the underground passage. Not knowing where he was going as he looks at the ground, the path he crawled was cleaned up already. As if a magic janitor came by and swept up the bloody crystals and trail into a synchronized pattern of sand memorizing those who looked at it while also giving satisfaction for being symmetrical.
