Chapter 3: Of Monsters and Men

Agent Chara

Day 8 – 4:49 PM

After a fresh night's sleep and a morning of scouting the nearby area, I have come to a conclusion. There is literally nothing here but forest and dangerous cliffs. I haven't gotten any new messages from the General or Patience yet, but I need to continue scouting. I can see across from the western-most point, there is a gigantic chasm. Across the chasm, about 500 feet away, is another surface, and it looks like it continues on from there. North of me is a river, and then I gigantic wall. I tried to break it with my knife, but it was harder than the diamond tip of my weapon. It stretches on for miles above my head. No point in trying to get over it.

Anyways, it looks like there are no animals or monsters around, so no food supplies. I only have a couple protein packs in my pockets, they should keep me going for around 8 days if I ration them out. Then, I will either have to go back into the Monster Kingdom, or re-locate camp to find food. In the meantime, I will work on making a camouflaged campsite using branches and snow.

Day 8 – 9:54 PM

Just finished the building of the camp! Now to just arm my defences with my weapons…

…

…

MY WEAPONS! I FORGOT TO GET THEM!

Wait, maybe Patience can get them if they are nearby… but they were there hours ago. They probably are nearing the King and Queen's house. Anyways, it is worth a shot. But first, I needed to get Agent Patience's phone number from the General.

"Yo hot mama can I have Patience's digitz?" Sent. "Stupid autcorrect. I meant was, can I have Patience's phone number?" I asked.

"I liked your first response better." The general replied, "But here it is: ************" (Muted to the public for OBVIOUS reasons.)

So, I texted Patience. "Hey Patience, can you update me on your situation. It's me, Chara." Sent.

Almost 20 seconds later I got a text back from the same number. "I will need proof that you are Chara. I have another text saying that was you, and you might be with the monsters. How about this. If you really are Chara, what color are my eyes?" Patience said, awaiting a reply.

I started to sweat. I never saw them before, so I told the truth. "I do not know. I never have seen you before." I texted, awaiting a response.

"Good to know it is the real you. Just blocked the other number claiming to be you. Can you explain what happened to you?" they asked.

"What happened was that I got down in the Underground, bought a mask and supplies, got caught, escaped, hid my weapons, bled out, revived by the Queen of the Underground, told me that her husband was going to take my soul, ran away, and now I am in a snow covered place right by a forest." Sent.

"Did you get your weapons back? Are you currently okay?" they said.

"I am fine for the next seven days. I sealed off the entrance with some very hard snow, and made a base camp. I don't have any of my weapons besides my hunting knife. I won't be able to come to you, the area I am at is behind the basement of the King and Queen's house. Where I am, there is only trees and snow. Should I try to get back inside, where they might kill me, or should I stay here and wait for you to come?" I replied.

Agent Patience

"For now, I suggest holding the fort over there for a few more days. Until then, I'll search for your weapons. Where are they?' I wrote.

"The weapons are in a ditch which has the symbol of the 7th Star. It should be close to the spike trap." Chara said.

"Got it." I said, "I will talk to you later then. Keep me updated."

I turned off my phone.

Since I just started my mission underground not too long ago, I will put my description here. I am agent Patience, and I am a 16 year old male. My connection to the Great Monster War was pretty simple.

Start of Flashback

I lived on Mount Ebbot with my family. That is, until they had an uprising against us. The war started about 2 months before my entire community was attacked by the monsters. At first, we thought they were going to visit us peacefully, but then, they started attacking people on the streets. I rushed over to tell my dad, but I saw him run towards me and tell me to run. His head then fell off, a spear snapping his neck. I ran for my mom and sister, but all I saw was corpses. I was paralyzed in fear. Everyone that I loved had died. Then, the worst part happened. A monster came in, a flaming wolf. It growled at me, preparing to strike. I frantically looked around where my hands were. A toy knife was by my sister's corpse. I took it and waited with patience. I took deep breaths, waiting for the monster to attack. It lunged at me. I then saw its stomach, and I attacked right there. The wolf groaned and feel to the floor. Then, the creature turned to dust. I looked at the knife. How was this toy legal?

I needed a plan. Going outside was suicide. I turned on the radio to see if the military was going to help. There was only static. I waited. 30 minutes later I heard a low voice from behind the front door. "Hello? Is anyone there? We need help ASAP!" I stayed silent. "We need urgent care! Help!" I was filled with patience. The voice triumphantly yelled, "Okay, it's all clear here! NO SURVIVORS! VICTORY IS OURS!" There was chanting outside. I started to cry. Was everyone really dead? I took out my phone. I called Jimmy. Straight to voicemail. I called Suzy. Voicemail. Jack. Voicemail. After 20 more calls, all gone to voicemail. I took a peek outside, seeing the monsters were collecting the phones. The monster which changed its voice called every contact, just to make sure everyone was disposed of. An unlucky soul got called, talked, and was silenced for eternity. The government saw the attack over the satellites, and they dropped a bomb. When the smoke cleared, I saw piles of dust. The few survivors of the counterstrike were retreating. I was alone.

Minutes later, a voice came on the radio. "Attention all survivors of the Ebbot Village attack. Set your emergency flare on the roof of a building, and we will send in helicopters to pick you up. This message will repeat itself for the next 6 hours." Great! There might be other survivors!

I searched around the house, looking for the flare of safety. I searched the kitchen, taking down the refrigerator and searching all the shelves. No luck. Oh wait. Chances are it is in my parents' room. I looked everywhere (and I bounced on the bed) and only found a lockbox in the dresser. There was a lock on it, and I never was told where the key was. So I used brute force. On the side of the refrigerator, I took the lock and smashed it open. It revealed a flare gun, 3 flares, and a key which had 'To open the Lockbox' written on it. I have smart parents.

I shot a flare into the sky, and another one on the roof. Now I wait. I was filled with patience.

I decided to look around for other flares and search for survivors. The village was desolate, with bloody bodies and other things that 12 year olds are not supposed to see. After an hour of walking, I finally saw a flare shoot into the sky on the other side of the village. I started to run. As I passed by, I grabbed some First Aid supplies in case they need help.

After 10 minutes of heavy running, I made it. It was from our town's tallest building, which we call The Mound. It is pretty much a mound of dirt that was made into a building, and continued to grow. I entered the ground floor. I shouted, "Hey! I saw your emergency flare! Do you need any help?" An old lady's voice said, "Yes sonny! I think I broke my hip! I am on the third floor in room 304." I went up the stairs to see a trail of blood at the entrance of the room. I calmed myself and had my knife by my side. I took a step forward, and a vine immediately grabbed my foot. The monster looked like one of the Man-Eater plants, which was trying to eat me. I struggled for grip on the carpet, but I failed. I then cut off the vine with my knife, and it slid right through. I then took the knife and stuck it down the monster's throat, slicing and dicing at its weakness. It then exploded into dust. I then saw behind it was an arm holding a flare gun. It looks like there still are some monsters left, I will need to be wary of that. I decided to make my way home, holding the knife in my right hand and the flare gun in my left.

It took me over 45 minutes to get home, and I used a flare to burn the backyard trees, so the monsters only could get in from the front. I turned the radio back on. "Attention, we have helicopters coming to rescue the survivors. We have reports of three flares shot in the sky. Approximately 20 minutes until the helicopters arrive." The radio went silent. Great! Now all I have to do is wait. I decided to dig graves for my mom, dad, and sister to pass by the time. In memory of them, I took my sister's ribbon, and wrapped it around my head. The graves were makeshift, but they were good. I then heard the helicopters arriving, but I also saw a bear monster aiming something at the helicopter coming towards me. I tackled the bear and stabbed him in the stomach, and dust was coming out of his stomach. After that, I suffered from PTSD for a while, but I was taken care of by the General. Heck I even decided to become an agent for him. I was nicknamed Patience for waiting for the right moment to strike. I always take my 'toy' knife with me and my ribbon, but it has faded a bit due to time.

End of Flashback

Phew, that entire story took forever to re-write, but now I am by the ditch.

The Seventh Star is like a normal star, but in the 7:00 position. I uncovered the stash to find a duffel bag full of weapons and supplies. I close the duffel bag and carry it over my shoulder. A small rabbit monster approached me and said, "Excuse me sir, can you donate me some Gold?" I told him no, I do not have any with me. He then snapped and a bunch of other monsters came out from the shadows. "You better give me that bag, or else someone here is going to get dusted." The cruel rabbit said.

I suddenly got an attack, not a physical, but a mental attack. The type you get when you hear certain 'trigger' words. All the memories are flashing back to me. Death, destruction, dusting the monsters. I start to laugh uncontrollably. The rabbit takes a step back. My hand reaches for my toy knife, and I show the rabbit and his friends the dust. I then continue with the proceedings. Slash! Cut! Bang! And then, I turn around and say with a musical tone, "Another one bites the dust!" Then I regain my sanity, and that awful word is out of my head. Apparently, my attacks were growing stronger for every time I killed one of the monsters. I took their gold, and bought some food and left to find Chara, sending him or her a text saying, "Ran into a little trouble, but cut them down to size. Got your weapons. Asking around to see where the King and Queen are. Update your status."
