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.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z4AMy8Lzz
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!"178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f2uRFAGk6
"Only until I can stop this awful noise."178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQCzvug3ZP
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?"178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAVQQ91Ff4
"Well, some beetles do live in walls, but I think this one is just unique."178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V0RGLb0vs
"Will you two loud mouths keep it down!" the beetle screamed at us. "It's already bad enough hearing that blasted crying!"178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOyY0a9KfH
"I came here to deal with it, do you know where it's coming from?"178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodfm594yyB
"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."178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpWVdGcwoh
"No can do. I've dealt with crazier things than this."178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVCegCVVyy
"Yeah, and I can see how dealing with things has fried that pink blob of yours."178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYX8IyxfIn
"You mean the brain?"178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkM6pIB466
"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."178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LoRAIEB7P
"Just so you know, our species has a history of eating insects."178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4U10yNyKx
The beetle fled back into its tent. "Just continue forward and you should come across it."178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UQOEplf7K
"Saira, stop being mean to the beetle."178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvEYMxyqn5
"It was being mean first!"178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F1Rm1vwUf
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."178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr3RV3x0Od
