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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc8tKajhwx
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!"173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNMIvUpVe6
"Only until I can stop this awful noise."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtXLofP38n
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?"173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGJhgk3fTl
"Well, some beetles do live in walls, but I think this one is just unique."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMsi8Cq6bJ
"Will you two loud mouths keep it down!" the beetle screamed at us. "It's already bad enough hearing that blasted crying!"173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUoSFpr7mc
"I came here to deal with it, do you know where it's coming from?"173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCedjb3JH2k
"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."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgluhGmY3s
"No can do. I've dealt with crazier things than this."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uki6KF3ho
"Yeah, and I can see how dealing with things has fried that pink blob of yours."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbujM0kY933
"You mean the brain?"173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKt1qo8veq
"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."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHlIjJUUD8
"Just so you know, our species has a history of eating insects."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ9XbftBkA
The beetle fled back into its tent. "Just continue forward and you should come across it."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcWuxWjlly
"Saira, stop being mean to the beetle."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo6g43WWZS
"It was being mean first!"173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHHL6odwtr
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."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOW4HZ4oNj
