Chapter 12 by FireGinger FireGinger

“Whose Alan?”

Eh not really important right now

As your blasted away into the brush you hear Tina scream something, but the world is ringing so you can’t really tell what. You break a couple twigs, bounce across something and hit a tree. As you land on the floor of the forest your head is ringing. You feel if you just got tossed and hit the head of a giant, which you did only yesterday.

Tying to get up you wobble a bit trying to get your balance. Once you do you look around yourself trying to see where you are. You see some trees and bushes. An occasional squirrel/spider monster crawling across the trees. Oh look another tree. Putting your head in your hands and cradling it, you try to get rid of the ringing sound in your head. Wait, you get a cold chill running down your back. You never saw a squirrel/spider monster on your way into the forest, so why are you seeing so many right now. Looking up again you see faint traces of foot mark across the ground, and from the looks of them they seem to be all over the place.

Thinking to yourself you start to wonder where the monster are that made these tracks. Fearing the worst you quickly look expecting a giant web of bones and silk. But all you see is just more trees. Shrugging to yourself you take a step in the direction that you flew from. And a hole with a lid opens up and a squirrel/spider monster takes your feet out from beneath you. The little devil shoot outs some silk at you attaching to your legs in the process. As the monster is dragging you into its lair you try to grab on to anything to stop the nightmare from taking you. You grab plants, roots, and even rocks hoping that they can support your weight long enough for the guys to find and save you. They all broke eventually due to the sheer strength of the monster. You try to pry off the silky mess that’s attached it’s self to your lega, but your hands just get stuck too. Fearing the worst and not wanting to go out without fight you turn your whole body into lava to try to burn the stuff off, but it take forever with your low amount of mana so your nearly in the hole before your body shifts into molten rock.

Going super nova the silk burns off in a sticky mess but your jacket also bursts into flames. “Dang, Tina gave that to me.” you say mostly to yourself. The squirrel/spider monster fearing for its life dives back into its hole and closing the lid. Not wanting the creature that made you destroy your favorite and only possession, you jump on the dirt where you think the entrance is. You feel a little shake as the construction takes on your weight. Hoping to make it collapse on itself you jump up and down on the door. After the door shakes a little bit, you start to feel it break a little less each time. Gasp, the creature is sealing itself in the hole by coating the inside of the door with its own silk. “Not so fast ya dick.” You shoot out your molten fists at the door hoping it could do more damage then jumping. Not seeing any change you quickly go back to you normal form and regrow your hands into little tiny knives and turning them into iron ore. Hoping to make iron blade hands you turn your wrists into lava to heat up the ore.

Once the completed versions of tiny iron blades are done you turn your wrists back to normal and start to stab the door with your knife hands. Making quick work with the door, you spread open the gash you made with your blade hands. Sticking your head through the opening you made with them you try to sound intimidating.

“Here’s Pebbles!”

And you get spider silk to the face. Falling down in the hole in surprise of the attack, you flail around hoping to kill the bastard. After a couple minutes of unwanted Marco Polo your crawl out of the hole victorious. Heaving your body out of the destroyed home, you pant from all the exercise you have done today. After all it’s the most you have ever done in your life so far.

Getting up and dusting your now naked stone body off with you knife hands you start to feel sad about how you lost your jacket. Tina made that just for you and it was the only thing that you actually owned. Sitting on a real stump and not a rotten ent, you start to wonder what Tina will say. Will she be mad that you destroyed the only present that she gave you or sad about it’s loss, cause it was quite fashionable if you say so yourself.

Wallowing in your own self pity you see a flashing stick in the corner of your view. Looking and concentrating on it brings a screen right in front of your face making you fall off your stump in shock. Waiting a couple of seconds the screen follow you so it’s parallle with your face even though your on the ground.

In flashing light of yellow and green it states that you have level up.
