The Jar

Peach had been inside those Jars before. The insides of which were always surprisingly cooler than expected but what was more confusing was the size. Some of them were barely big enough to hold her but others lead to large dungeon like rooms. There wasn't any pattern to notice of which Jars was which, nor what else would be inside them.

At times it would be items but the most common things were snakes, masks and keys.

The snakes were... strangely curvy. Almost like someone drew an S and then put a snake skin over them. They never chased her just jump in place and spit shots at her. But they always tried to bite her any time she came close.

The masks were different. Those things were just... off, floating there until activated. Then they pursued her without mercy. Out of the Jar too, as nothing stopped them. Enemies, Fire, Walls; they would just keep coming after her. Anything that would stop them merely stalled them, as the moment Peach went to another area/room, they would eventually reappear, still chasing after her, ever growing faster.

Only one thing stopped the Masks and that was... dropping the key. Some of the Jars had a Large Key, about the size of Peach's fore arm. It never felt that heavy though and when used, seemed to open any door that she came across. But the Masks fiercely defended these keys or at times other items.

Still, the heat was FAR too much to her right now. She Looked around to make sure no one was around, slowly approaching one of the large Jars. She peeked her head over the rim and stared in, greeted only by darkness. Of course, one could never see in from the outside. You had to go inside to see what was actually going on.

Peach stood above the Jar and finally bit the bullet and descended inside.
