To the outside world,96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVitjTO4WwO
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.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtjhtfidvh
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!"96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0daR6uvEmI
"Only until I can stop this awful noise."96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfq0JUwToN
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?"96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQaZwHwZx8
"Well, some beetles do live in walls, but I think this one is just unique."96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eeoIdIb6G
"Will you two loud mouths keep it down!" the beetle screamed at us. "It's already bad enough hearing that blasted crying!"96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9IJEGeqxm
"I came here to deal with it, do you know where it's coming from?"96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4lx3W5MZv
"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."96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FYHWL88mx
"No can do. I've dealt with crazier things than this."96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq9BeC9rLi
"Yeah, and I can see how dealing with things has fried that pink blob of yours."96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsLPvQK8IJ
"You mean the brain?"96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jfwd2Cupd
"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."96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFI9wcXa15
"Just so you know, our species has a history of eating insects."96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJF0cOxWph
The beetle fled back into its tent. "Just continue forward and you should come across it."96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6ih5vbJFD
"Saira, stop being mean to the beetle."96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hK3IYFmZO
"It was being mean first!"96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFp4cASPfN
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."96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ537mqSwyD3
