To the outside world,95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mk7kwhRTt
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.95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY28YOqptW
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!"95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpuTlBNSXf
"Only until I can stop this awful noise."95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QoeHztmkG
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?"95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb34mvcKUZB
"Well, some beetles do live in walls, but I think this one is just unique."95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b6BaFLxtI
"Will you two loud mouths keep it down!" the beetle screamed at us. "It's already bad enough hearing that blasted crying!"95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp8LzbPXbm
"I came here to deal with it, do you know where it's coming from?"95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGWYTyK8tk
"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."95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVRd2wFz8H
"No can do. I've dealt with crazier things than this."95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIga0SZ0Oq
"Yeah, and I can see how dealing with things has fried that pink blob of yours."95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS1jGcHj0n
"You mean the brain?"95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1ZNVyTlpz
"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."95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXU9SVTEsC
"Just so you know, our species has a history of eating insects."95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyY1FW0wMN
The beetle fled back into its tent. "Just continue forward and you should come across it."95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXRjO6JxZr
"Saira, stop being mean to the beetle."95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglvGV362lE
"It was being mean first!"95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCGhDz1hLm
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."95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJt4KuF8Di
