"Aaaaawww man are we there yet?" I asked following my team.
"Just a couple more miles, quiet complaining tall one", the monkey said being handle by Bonnie.
Ggaaah, we been walking through this place for so long it feels like HOURS! Why did the creature who once lived here have to make everything sooo big, Hhhaaaaa! My feet are starting to hurt! The knocked out girl is lucky she got Kobe to carry her, she's STILL unconscious. Buuut I can't blame her though, being controlled by the Armada scrap would make me tried too. Through I wonder: how long was she under control? Did they even bother treating her wounds, and when they were done did they throw her in some jail sail? So. Many. Question!
"UGH, ARE WE THERE YET?!", I complained in disgust.
"Mari patience please, we'll rest after we lift the curse", Tara said calmly looking back at me as she walked.
Man why are we even here?! Aren't we suppose to go that cave we were suppose to find a day ago?"
"…Yes, that's my fault", she said quietly then stop.
"Huh?"
"…Everyone I'm…I'm really sorry, I…didn't mean for you all to get hurt this bady", she apologized sounding angry with herself.
AAAAAAAAAWWW SSSHHHOOOOT! Now I've gone done it!
"H-h-hey hey, don't worry buddy!", I said wrapping my arms around Tara's shoulder, "We're all alive and well, no pain no gain as they say!", I said trying to cheer her up.
"….*sigh*"
I want to throw myself off a cliff so bad right now, oooh maaan! Everyone tried to cheer her up, but it didn't work.
"…We should keep going…", Tara said walking forward.
I hate myself so much right now, I can't be I said that! Uuugh, me and my dumb self.
"OW!", I shouted feeling something hit my head.
"You looked liked you need a hit on the head, your welcome", Gaspard said lifting his axe up on his shoulder walking past me.
"…Thanks", I grudgingly thanked following him while rubbing my head.
We spent the rest of the walk in silence and that only made the trip twice NO, THREE TIMES MORE PAINFUL! I made Tara feel bad, I don't know what to say to her, and my feet are STILL killing me! *SSSIIIIGH* just skip to the next part alright!
1 hour and 18 minutes later…
"FINALLY, WHAT A NIGHTMARE!", I shouted walking into the stupid alter and falling on the ground.
I'm so tired, so very very tired. AND hungry! I want to go back to my ship so bad, and sleep. Poking my head up I saw Tara walking to the alter that had treasure and plants on it, now she's putting some bottle on it and doing some kind of praise. Whoa the bottle is oozing out some green fog, ew.
"The curse is broken, everyone can relax now", Tara said calmly.
Oh that's good, but this brick floor isn't going to relax anyone. Oh shoot Tara walking this way! Don't say anything stupid, don't say anything stupid, don't say anything stupid!
"Uhhh, hey?", I said nervously.
Is that the best I could do, good gosh I suck!
"…Mari"
"Yyyyea?"
"I'm not mad at you for what you said", she said sitting next to me.
"You're not?"
"No"
"Okay…You know, I've made a lot more stupid chances growing up too"
"Hm? Like what?"
"There was this one time I rammed our old ship into another, then the team and I ran away from a rampaging attack we kinda caused, and don't get me started on the Frogfather's request"
"You've…really risked your life of a lot of things", Tara said calmly surprised.
"Yea, that's adventuring for ya", I said still laying on the ground and resting my head on my arms.
"Sooo, this is normal?", Tara asked looking at me.
"Hmm yea, for us that is", I said shrugging, "But at least we're there for each other, that's what matters most", I said getting a little too deep.
"….You're right Mari", Tara said with a smile.
"I am?!", I questioned pulling my head up.
"She is?", Gaspard said from the alter.
"GASPARD, YOU BUD OUT!", I shouted pointing at him.
"Hmhmhm", Tara giggled.
"Don't encourage him Tara", I said sitting with my legs and arms crossed, "So now that we're done, where's this cave of voices?", I asked the monkey.
"It's outside by this temple", the monkey said dusting himself off.
"Wwwait…you mean…outside, from where we came in?", I asked in shock pointing my thumb at the door.
"Of course, where else would it be?"
Oh…my…we have to…walk…all…the way…back, where we came…..
"Mari…Mmmari, Mari?", Tara said slowly nudging me.
"Tara, I'd move away if I were you", Gaspard suggested.
"What is wrong with your friend?", one of the monkeys asked.
"I think she just realized the long walk we have to take to get to your home", Tara said nervously.
"Oh there's no need to worry you all, we know a shortcut"
"SHORTCUT?! I HEARD SHORTCUT!",I shouted getting out of my mental freak out.
"Yes, not too far from here"
THANK THE STARS! Oh man I was going to lose my mind there, phew that was close. Okay we're following these monkeys to the shortcut which again isn't too far I want to say, yay! Whoa they opened up a wall! Neeeaaaat~.
"Watch your step, this downward path can be slippery", one of the monkeys suggested.
Okay, that doesn't sound too bad. Take one step at a time, WHOA…one step…at…a…time.
"Ahahaha!", Kobe shouted.
"Wha?! What is it Ko-AH!", I SHOUTED AFTER KOBE KNOCK ME INTO OTHER PEOPLE!
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHhhhh…..
