Chapter 6
I'm tired... I'M SERIOUSLY TIRED.... I've been crawling in this air duct for Wyneria knows how long already! I feel like someone is following me... Even though I'm wandering around this hallow duct... Anyway, what am I hearing? Nothing much. Just the mighty roar of the sculptures, stomping of the cyclops, and the sirens talking about me escaping this hellhole. But don't mind that, I'm, by far, worried already... I may or may not hear something crawling in this direction, is it in the air duct? Maybe not- Crap, it's heading THIS way!
I quickly crawled, not wanting to look back. I ignore my tiredness because there's a creature over there wanting me for a great meal! Ugh, give me a break already! My knees are starting to hurt already! It's so hot here! Why did I even bother to go here?! I heard the creature catching up to me, I need to be faster or else, goodbye world!
Its roar can be heard and I'm NOT exactly sure if it starts to run already! Seriously, what is this?! The stomping of the cyclops alerted me, it feels like the ground is shaking! Then there's thing creature that's right behind me!
"Am I stuck here for eternity? Is there an exit?!" I whined. Right on cue, I see light ahead! With a new burst of hope, I use all my energy to crawl there FAST. The roaring of the creature is getting louder with each step I take.
The light is getting nearer and so does that thing right behind me, mouth wide open! I can see the exit of this air duct! Unfortunately, it's block... Anger took over me as I have no choice but to force myself out of here! I'm seriously mad right now! I see the exit, it's blocked, and that thing, or should I say an orthrus that somehow able to fit this air duct, might eat me alive!
I used every strength AND energy I have left to force myself to get out of this air duct. I grabbed the thing that's blocking the air duct in the first place and threw it on the orthrus' face. That orthrus is more annoying than the other orthrus I met! Once I landed on the ground, my eyes were set on the podium, waiting for the medallion to be placed. But of course,I turned around and I had to be surrounded by the sculptures and the ground. The orthrus that got hit with the barrier, it simply growled at me and bare its sharp teeth before going to the others. Not in a relax position, but in the position where the predator locked its prey and it's ready to pounce!
"Hands in the air! Surrender or face death, lowlife!" Yeah... It has to be him again. My hands curled into fists as I found myself growling. The sculptures surprisingly noticed my anger and growled back!
"Why would I give up if I came this far?!" I stood there, angrily grabbing the medallion, holding it in one hand, "I came this far and I would just give up?! Well you should've asked me that question AWHILE ago 'cause I was losing hope! But no, you have to come to the end and ask me to surrender! What a perfect timing!" I might look like I'm losing sanity now, because yes, I am. Well, not most of my sanity though.
'If you surrender, well you just wasted your time... You went here to do something you want to do, yet you want to give up when we're at the end?!'
"Shut up, you have to went to the damn air ducts! We have to force these animals to go scout there!" That guy argued back. Wow, sending animals just to find me... I thank the ones who didn't put security cameras inside the air ducts!
"And you!" I turn around and pointed at the podium, acting all innocent just because it's standing there. I suddenly heard whispers and murmurs about the fact that I'm pointing at the door. Do they not see that lonely podium standing?! "You want your medallion?!" I held the medallion tightly, it starting to get hurt. "Well here it is!" I ran towards the podium. I already knew they will shoot and run towards me but I don't care. If that thing is in front of me, there's no point of giving up!
Suddenly, there was a black-out! A perfect opportunity for me to place the medallion! Those guards and sculptures can react all they want but enough is enough! I placed the damn medallion on the podium! I sighed in relief and smiled a bit as I fell to my knees. I'm done... I'm done.... It feels like finishing your goal that isn't even worth finishing....
Oh yeah, what happened... The podium suddenly created a bright light. I have to cover my eyes because that is so BRIGHT. I never seen something THAT bright! I heard the entrance of this hellhole open, as in SERIOUSLY open. But it's weird... I only saw a dull grey double door! A normal double door! But when it opens, why does it sounds like it's a huge and heavy double door?
Maybe I'm just tired... I never asked myself why I sometimes lose focus?! The lights were back as the guards were aiming at me... Now what? I'm completely weak, exhausted, and defenseless. Those sculptures... are gone?! What?!
"Those crappy animals are back to their original position! I need them here! NOW!" Damn, that guy is seriously piss... Is this really the life as a prison guard? I slowly stood on my feet and grabbed the medallion. That door is so inviting that I want to run outside and scream "I'M FREE FROM THIS HELLHOLE". I can make it.... right? right?! RIGHT?!
I held the medallion tightly, holding it near my chest. I glared daggers to those guards and immediately ran outside the prison! I heard the door immediately shut as I fell to the ground. I'm free... Finally free... I saw a sign and laughed at the message...
Rakyrgronnerok, Prison of Corrupt, a place where no one escapes
Hah, fuck that place....
Before I let the darkness swallowed me, I heard the distorted voice saying,
"Congratulations on making it out...!"
