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.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HSMrclQAq
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!"179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aPKjPFZHF
"Only until I can stop this awful noise."179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUum8izHkI
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?"179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm4S9USTyt
"Well, some beetles do live in walls, but I think this one is just unique."179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO1OwPSl1F
"Will you two loud mouths keep it down!" the beetle screamed at us. "It's already bad enough hearing that blasted crying!"179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVrwX6b46v
"I came here to deal with it, do you know where it's coming from?"179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jNMWYJooV
"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."179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHyYDEgAFS
"No can do. I've dealt with crazier things than this."179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon7Jc6oSHX
"Yeah, and I can see how dealing with things has fried that pink blob of yours."179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95QsR0lxYA
"You mean the brain?"179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BBPHA6yi2
"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."179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOzCjCtkZZ
"Just so you know, our species has a history of eating insects."179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXI3140DOt
The beetle fled back into its tent. "Just continue forward and you should come across it."179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEozMLxmyH
"Saira, stop being mean to the beetle."179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJXSMfNgZE
"It was being mean first!"179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9mbCO6pAj
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."179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2vdLf3Bsc
