A Trip Through Murond Death City
CHAPTER 3: Time to get everything straight and move on ... quickly
**Sam's hand goes under the void, and after this he feels that he can do nothing to get back up there and lets himself sink down deeper. But instead of having that "slow sinking and not breathe" feeling, he starts "sinking" at a faster speed and can breathe good... well, as good as you can when you're weak and falling.**
bSAM; looking up at the void:/b Huh? What just happened?
**Sam manages to flip himself to look down at where he's falling. His stares in awe as he sees that there is actually some "earth" below him, which seem to have an nice autumn coloration (red, yellow, orange, brown, etc.) to it. His eyes light up as he stops looking at the scenery and realizes that he is still at a very fast speed and the he still doesn't have his ability fly for some reason. In a comical style, he continues to fall towards the ground. Soon he crashes through the canopy of a large forest below himself, and looks around for a branch to grab onto. He manages to snag one, but due the speed he was falling at, the branch snaps and he continues to fall deeper into the forest. After falling for a few more seconds, the Solarian lands in a pond, causing quite a splash. He spits out some water and pulls off a leech-like creature that attached itself to his arm, causing a small patch of blood to flow from where the creature bit him. He gets up and shake off some water before venture into the new forest and looking at it.**
bSAM; thinking to himself:/b Wow. this is interesting. This forest has a. deaden feeling to it, but yet you can also feel and see a bit of beauty to it. That sorta balances it out. That could be the reason why I feel that I'm not in any true dan-
**Before he could finish off his sentence, he is tap on the shoulder by someone. He lets out a slight yelp, being caught off guard, and sends punch to the "at-tapper" face. He manages to stop the punch about less than half a inch before it may it way into the person's face.**
bSAM:/b Agrias? That you? **pulls back fist and lets out a sigh of relief.** Whew! Almost put a major dent into you face. Don't scare me like that up behind like that
bAGRIAS; on her knees:/b Look who's talking about scaring someone.
bSAM; wondering:/b So what is this place?
bAGRIAS:/b I don't know. I'm taking a guess taking a guess that we're still somewhere within or near Murond Death City. I've down here trying to avoid many monsters that we have seen during our battles in that place. Like those Trimats.
bSAM:/b I see. Hmm. hey! Did you did see if the others were nearby when you fell here?
bAGRIAS; shaking head:/b Uh-uh. I was gonna ask you. I been here by myself for awhile.
bSAM:/b Well, let's go search for them.
**With that Agrias nods and starts to follow Sam. But as she takes a hard step forwards, she winces quite loudly in pain as she holds her ankles.**
bAGRIAS; gritting teeth:/b Argh! I. forgot about my ankle. Think I landed on it wrong when I came from that sky-like void.
bSAM; walking over to Agrias:/b Huh? Let me take a look at that.
**Sam kneels down and help Agrias with her boot. She winces a bit as it comes off. Her ankle is quite bloody.**
bSAM:/b Whoa! We're gonna have to find somebody to look at this. First, to make sure that it doesn't become worse... **look around** ...aha!
**Sam grabs a nearly straight stick off the ground and pulls off the bandana off his head. He then places the stick behind the knight's calf, and wraps them together with the bandana after snapping it into a rope. He then puts Agrias's boot back on for her.**
bSAM; getting up/b That should make sure you don't move it too much.
bAGRIAS: I guess. But it'll harder for me to walk around in this condition. Maybe a crutch or something would help?
bSAM:/b Okay. Let's see if I can...
**At that moment, Sam hears several loud roar-like screeches followed by multiple branches creaking due to something a bit heavy. Sam peers behind Agrias, where the sound is coming from.**
bAGRIAS:/b Hey, what wro-?
bSAM; putting finger over his lip and whispering:/b Shhh. there something over there. Stay low to the ground and be quiet.
**Sam goes into a crouch position as Agrias slouches a bit lower to be less visible. As everything get quieter, Sam goes back to listening and looking for the source of those sounds. The creaking branches continue to sound for a few more seconds before stopping. Everything becomes eerily quiet. Due to the forest being so dense, Sam has to look harder to see the culprit of those sound. A few moments later, Sam spots the necks of several dragon head moving within the trees, each one have a dull gold-ish color.**
bSAM; turning quickly and whispering:/b Shoot! It's bunch of Tiamats! We have to hurry out of here!
bAGRIAS; whispering:/b But I can't even walk. What are we gonna do?
bSAM; thinking for a bit:/b Hmm. I guess I'll just have to carry you on my back. It'll be much quicker. Hurry.
**Agrias pushes herself up into standing position, leaning on a tree for a sec. She then falls onto Sam's back, who staggers a bit trying to keep his balance.**
bSAM; trying to keep quiet:/b Ee-eee! What kind of armor are you wearing? It's friggin' heavy!
bAGRIAS; quietly:/b No. This actually happen to be one of the lightest armor set that the royal army I belong to has. bSAM; regaining balance:/b Well, if it's not that, then you may need to shave off a few pounds.
bAGRIAS; peeved and loudy:/b Grrr! Are you calling me fat?! **covering mouth.** Aw, crud...
**All the Tiamats turn their multiple heads towards the two. They soon starts approaching them quiet quickly, some through the tree and other on the ground.**
bSAM; starting to run:/b Hang on tight!
**Agrias hangs on to Sam tightly as he start speeding through forest, with the pack of Tiamats pursuing them. The multi-headed dragons start firing "Triple Thunder" at the duo, knocking down tree and toasting various burnable object. Will Sam and Agrias be able to evade the Tiamats?**
