To the outside world,220Please respect copyright.PENANAPUWU3pxqIY
I consumed the potion that Ivy gave me. It was bitter and tasted a lot like cough syrup. I shrunk down to the size of a mouse and entered the walls. The groaning was almost too intense for my tiny ears to handle; I think my head might explode if it got any louder.220Please respect copyright.PENANAxrspquizsm
Ivy crawled through the wall with me and she barely made it. If it came down to the worst case scenario, she was capable of disassembling herself. She smiled politely, putting her two twig arms together. "I guess I'm the older sister now, Saira!"220Please respect copyright.PENANABEN274wXLz
"Only until I can stop this awful noise."220Please respect copyright.PENANAyF1XV9gPA8
The walls had a long path of pipes inside of it, and I climbed my way to the top. I noticed a small tent in the distance, and something was crawling out of it. "Why does that beetle have a tent, and why is it living in my metal walls?"220Please respect copyright.PENANA4VOpu6lIki
"Well, some beetles do live in walls, but I think this one is just unique."220Please respect copyright.PENANA5cpti1SjIb
"Will you two loud mouths keep it down!" the beetle screamed at us. "It's already bad enough hearing that blasted crying!"220Please respect copyright.PENANAc3Mb0tvBfg
"I came here to deal with it, do you know where it's coming from?"220Please respect copyright.PENANAkvzZ4lMSan
"No, and I don't want to. It sounds like it would eat me alive in a heartbeat. I try to stay away from hungry predators, and you should do the same."220Please respect copyright.PENANAFp0cLp1FU1
"No can do. I've dealt with crazier things than this."220Please respect copyright.PENANAKQ40Hxr99S
"Yeah, and I can see how dealing with things has fried that pink blob of yours."220Please respect copyright.PENANA1N8JZg3lNY
"You mean the brain?"220Please respect copyright.PENANAQgyoSqsYu6
"What other pink blob could I be referring to? Actually, don't answer that. I don't want to learn any more about your terrible species."220Please respect copyright.PENANAbvTGuzLDQl
"Just so you know, our species has a history of eating insects."220Please respect copyright.PENANANVI3drbKyY
The beetle fled back into its tent. "Just continue forward and you should come across it."220Please respect copyright.PENANAXJ1875JIzG
"Saira, stop being mean to the beetle."220Please respect copyright.PENANAc2HOQK4ZCr
"It was being mean first!"220Please respect copyright.PENANAshCai23qOR
We continued our journey through the wall. I stayed close to Ivy as the walls faded into a dark, rotten green. "We'll be okay, Saira."220Please respect copyright.PENANA4CvcgQnzmz
