Ladybug opened her eyes. She was in a room full of dispensers, and a chest at the corner. She realised she had fell on a pressure plate.
Oh no.
Suddenly, potions of hunger shot out at her from the carved, grey mouths.
She felt her stomach flip over. She needed food. She was going to die. It was like she hadn't eaten in years. She opened the chest. All that was in it was an apple and a potion. She gulfed down the apple. Still. She was starving. She needed to drink the potion. Whatever it was, she didn't care.
She gulped it down in one sip.
Her hunger was satisfied immediately. But maybe there were more effects the potion, that would kick in soon.
Suddenly, two blocks disappeared, revealing a lit passage.
"Phew" she thought, knowing that she could now escape.
"Oh great" she thought suddenly, for she had stepped on another pressure plate.
A flood of lava seethed in through the hole.
Only then did the remaining effects kick in of the potion.
Slowness.
Mining fatigue.
Weakness.
She had to mine herself out before the lava engulfed her in flames. She ran to the corner… except… it was taking her hours. She felt weak with every slow step. Weakness. Slowness. Now she understood why.
She mined and mined and mined, feeling more and more tired. Finally, thankfully, luckily, coincidentaly wonderfully, she survived, and had mined her way out. The room then returned back to normal, as soon as she had left it.
