After the visit of that creature, who was an angel, and who made them go through that portal, they appeared in the sky of an unknown place. As they fell they realized that everything was covered in darkness. Finally they fell into water, which was a bit more viscous than normal. The surroundings were gloomy, there was absolutely nothing there.
TRX's group was confused at this point. What had happened? They had gone through the portal, fallen through and were now in the middle of nowhere in a spooky place.
While they were thinking about it a giant eye appeared in the middle of nowhere and suddenly a voice of thunder was heard.
- You are those abominable creatures they sent to find the Hero, or am I wrong and you came here by accident?

No one answered and they were even more confused. At that, the creature began to get closer and closer to the group. The closer it got, the more you could see what it looked like. It was a kind of huge fleshy ball, green in color (as if it was putrid). It also had several insect-like legs that were treading on the face of the water and human arms on the sides. In addition to that, it also had several small mouths and a large one that had an eye at the entrance of its throat. At the top it had a huge heart that was crystallized. It looked like a weird tumor.
- Come on, answer me. - said the creature. - Little creatures of a God that is about to fall...
They were all much more confused than before, first because of what it had said and, secondly, because they understood EVERYTHING it told them.
After saying those words, the creature's eye glowed horrifyingly and, seconds later, it shot a beam of light towards where the group was.
Surprisingly, TRX and the others managed to dodge it.
- Well, well, well. So that's how it is.
The creature said that, and... In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of one of the group members. It was TRX. It raised its hand. TRX rose as well. Everyone looked at that scene in fear.
- They had managed to dodge that attack... So that's why they were sent to unseal this world to find the Hero... Wonderful. This is just wonderful... It's been millennia since I've encountered beings like you, so please don't disappoint me.
He punched and sent TRX flying. The creature approached him again.
- Trixy! - someone exclaimed, in a squeaky little girl's voice. It was Blocky.
- Huh? - said the creature, also in a squeaky voice. - See, you could have answered me too, why didn't you? Ah!
Blocky slipped into the water quickly, creating ice to... Well... Slide over it. She reached where the creature and TRX were and rescued her, quickly returning to the group, who were far away.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
- I don't know how I did that... - said Blocky. - Wait, what?
- Are you... Talking? Ah! - said Roundy, startled, in a child's voice, somewhat high-pitched. - W-what?
He got more scared because he was talking, and using unfamiliar words without realizing it, until he did. He got dizzy. Still he went and healed TRX.
- A-are you okay? - Roundy asked TRX.
- ...I think so. - she answered, her voice was that of a child, and it was a little low.
- This is very strange... - said Pointy, as he looked at the crystallized heart. Her voice was like a child's, but it sounded serious and was somewhat grave as well.
Suddenly, without warning, the creature rammed into the group. Blocky created about three ice ramps down which she, Roundy and TRX slid to dodge the attack. They positioned themselves behind the creature, about 10 meters away. Pointy nimbly flew over the monster and smashed into the glass containing the heart. It made a crack. Pointy regenerated as fast as he could and fled quickly.
- Agh... Wow.
"How is it possible that they can hurt me so much?" thought the creature. "I thought they'd be strong, but this is..."
Brief explanation of this: remember the creature that gave them the power to understand other beings and speak? Well it also gave them the ability to damage formidable enemies by making the hits they deliver damage the enemy by a certain percentage, no matter how tough they are. The percentage is from 5% to 50% per hit or skill. This also applied to damage received. In other words... They were powerful, and yet not. Oh, and they didn't know this.
- Hmph... I got a little distracted, but now they won't be able to hit me anymore.
Fooosh (sound effect just because). The creature now appeared in front of the group, but... It raised water as well, which hit the group and, for some reason, it was hard. I mean... It was as if they had hit several rocks.
At that, it reloaded its shot. Its eye started to glow and... Pointy shot into the water and exploded. That explosion generated steam, but... The creature shot into the water and generated even more steam. The place was full of it and it was very hard to see.
"I can still feel them... So... Where are they?"
- Agh!
From behind, TRX, using an ice sword created by Blocky, and being powered by Roundy's telekinesis, used the ability they used the other time to mine. Lightning struck the sword. TRX struck the crystal. The crystal shattered. TRX fainted. The creature flipped over. The crystal began to regenerate.
- I shall not let you! - Pointy exclaimed.
He shot itself straight for the uncovered heart. It was beating all ugly. It crashed. He exploded, and so did the heart. The creature roared loudly, and that sound was heard in the void. Everyone witnessed that massacre, terrified. Then, the creature slowly began to disappear.
From nowhere, a blinding light flooded the place.
