I'm currently laying on the sand, surrounded by all sorts of plants, I couldn't find him so I decided to stay in the garden, the plants around here had grown so much, it swallowed my whole form as I lay in between them, I switch my galleons to tails, swimming in between them, at this point this isn't a garden, its a sea forest, the garden was big enough for me to swim through the plants but not big enough for me to sail through them that fast, I realised that after I almost slammed into a coral,
I swerve hard to avoid it making me lose balance and fall deeper. What if I die here? I think to myself, I'm stuck and I know for sure no one is looking for me here, I struggle to get myself free but the plants had grown intertwined with each other, I already have scratches from falling and this isn't helping, I was laying on my side in between the plants when something catches my eye, the plants moved forming a small narrow path, since when do plants move? I'm puzzled! I twist my body so I could get out from there, ripping my skin even further.
As I swim further into the narrow path, I realise this wasn't a coincidence, it was a path leading somewhere, the path continued lower into the plants not out of it, curiosity got the best of me so I move further, the path was a fairly long one, I could tell I'm fairly far from the castle but I keep going, my eyes had adjusted to the darkness but I suddenly see light, I approach it carefully, peeking my head into the lit area to see what it is, my eyes widen as I take in the scene in front of me, the first thing that caught my eye and had me dumbstruck was the flowing water,
it was rushing from the top of a rock to a hole in the ground, the water had filled up there, making it look like a small sea, I slowly approach the surrounding area, my eyes fixed on the rushing water flowing into the ground and settling, I sucked in a breath, water exists inside of water?!!! It was flowing independently, my hand reaches to feel it, it felt the same yet so different, the pressure from it rushing down tickled my palms, there were greenery I'd never seen anywhere growing here, from the rocks.
I bring the water to my lips, it instantly reminds me of hayaat, I take a sip, it tasted so different in a good way, it didn't taste like hayaat or the water I've spent my whole life in, it was so refreshing, I cup my hands under it, helping myself to more of it, it was delicious in a tasteless way, I could not explain this to anyone, I approach the small sea in the middle of the place, wondering if it tasted the same, I dip my hands inside, taking a huge gulp, I end up choking myself, coughing the water back,
yes its the same, but this has a more earthly taste, whatever that means, it just seems like the right word to use, I think to myself, I like it too, something moving in the middle of the small sea catches my eye, I lay on my stomach, staring into it, a small green plant like thing emerges from it, growing rapidly, reaching to the top of the place, it had grown taller than me, I shrink back in fear not knowing what it has, I prepare myself incase it attacks me but it doesn't move.
I relax a bit, cautiously observing it from the small distance I created, it didn't move again, after a few seconds of hesitation I approach it. It was long and had a dark sandy colour, the top of it was green with a weird object growing out of it, I'm starting to wonder what is my connection with caves, I've been finding weird stuff since I was a kid, always stumbling into them, that was how I found Zaria, I reach out to feel it, some parts felt smooth and some felt rough, the weird stuff that emerged from it looked good, it made me wonder if it was edible, I hold it in my arms, I take a small bite, woah!!!! I squeal, it tastes amazing!!!!, What is this!!!! I take a huge bite and another and another, I pull it a bit and it detaches from its place, it had a sweet taste, I've never had anything this sweet before, it was also juicy and soft, it melted in my mouth perfectly. Before I knew it I'd eaten everything. I had a mini burst of happiness, I felt like a little version of myself again.
I decide to rest by the rocks, it was a bit big so it filled me up almost immediately, my stomach had swollen up a bit, I pat it feeling satisfied, I definitely have to come back here again, but I already ate it, I was about to fall asleep when a sound made me open my eyes again, the stuff that grew from the small sea was shrivelling, did I destroy it since I ate a part of it, maybe that was its heart I ate, oh no what have I done? I killed it, but it was so good, it's too late for all this anyways, I guess I'll take a nap, my eyes flutter shut.
RUN REYNA, RUN, PLEASE, I stay glued to where I was, I look around trying to find the source of the voice but there was no one around, something chilly brushed past me, it seemed to be what was carrying the voice, I tried to run but I couldn't no matter how much I struggled, a figure appears ahead of me, it was rushing to me, screaming at me to move, it seemed to be looking behind me, I turn, my eyes widening, it was a creature I'd never seen, it had three heads attached to its neck, sharp claws nestled on its paw, its body looked like that of a sea lion but it was ten times bigger, the middle head had its mouth wide open and it was coming at me, the person was still screaming at me to move as they rush towards me, I try once again but I'm stuck in place, strangely I felt a sense of warmth towards them, I reach out hoping we could touch one last time, tears streamed down my face as the biggest smile appeared on my face trying to assure them that I'll be fine, just before the figure could reach me, the creature clamped its jaws on me. I was now inside its mouth, half my lower body had been ripped off, it was smelly, wet and suffocating in here, but surprisingly I felt no pain, in fact I felt nothing.
I launch myself from the ground, what just happened? I had the same dream before, I sigh, its just another nightmare, I should go back to the castle, the entrance is gone tho, how can I get back, I look at the direction I came in from, the entrance was still there, why did I think the entrance was gone? Thats weird, I brush it off and head back.
