'hmm.'
'I feel something wet in my pants'
'Oh, don't tell me it is what I think it is'
Prying my eyes open, I looked down to see my legs submerged in a shimmering water. I slowly got up with a grunt and took a look around at my surroundings.
"What the..." I said amazingly.
Where I was seemed to be in a cave of some sort. But unlike any cave I've visited, the caves I visited were always dark and cramped, this cave was lit entirely with what seemed to be crystals sticking on to the wall, and was enormous in size. The crystals varied in colors as well. Purple, red, blue, yellow, pink. I gazed in awe at the beauty of it all. But none of it was my primary concern.
Not wasting any time, I shot up out of my sitting my position and tried searching around for the boar that broke my knee. Realizing just a few moments later that my knee had no sign of dislocation of any kind, except the tattered up cloth in that area. I tested it out, snapping it into a kick, running around in place, stretching, to see that it HAD healed. But still concerned how I got here, I looked directly up to see the answer to my question. At the very top of the cave a hole was visible. I sighed, and assuming that's where I came from, I looked around again if anything else fell with me.
My stomach grumbled and I couldn't help but lust for something to eat. In fact I don't even think I have eaten yet since I got here in this world. I tried pulling my bag over to my chest but instead had a strange surprise to see I had pulled my shirt instead.
"Huh?"
Breaking out of my composure, I scrambled around the area hoping to find the only hope I had left for myself. I didn't leave a single crack or crevice unchecked and when there was still no sign of it, I gave up and sat down in defeat, contemplating my luck.
"Why of all people did this happen to me"
Nobody could hear me, I didn't expect to. The sound of a water droplet made me turn back to the lake I woke up from. Kneeling Infront of it, I scooped a handful of water in my hands and drank from it and sighed in blissful relief. I was surprised to feel a cold yet refreshing sensation go down my throat and felt just a bit more positive because of it.
"Are you the one that healed my knee?" I asked, not expecting an answer. Healing waters sounded mystical, but at this point I would believe in anything to keep myself sane. Drinking from the water made me want to take more than just a dip. Taking of my shirt and my pants, I looked at my underwear, the only remaining garment covering my body, and glanced around the cave.
'eh, why not' I thought as I took off my underwear and folded it then placing it in a neat pile along with my other clothes. I walked slowly inside the water, opting to enjoy the waters peacefully instead of doing a cannonball as I previously thought. I was contented at how the water felt on my body, it felt like washing away all the worry and the fear. floating around the lake, I wondered how I was going to get back up to the surface. The cave in itself was so sereal and peaceful, add in the water and it's almost impossible to want to leave. But I knew I must continue my journey in life.
Swimming back to the land, I saw a glimpse of an animal near where I was. My heart stopped when I realized it looked exactly like that creature I fought in the surface. I knew it was the same boar because of it's broken tusk. I submerged myself fully underwater when it snapped it's head towards me. After a while of holding my breath, I resurfaced my mouth to grab more oxygen then submerged myself again, but this time my eyes kept watch at the boar.
'It must have survived because it fell on the water with me. But then why didn't it eat me, or attack? Did it lost interest because it thought I was dead. A bit of a waste of food don't you think?' I mused
My eyes widened when I saw what it had on its tusk, my bag hanging carelessly on it. I shot up out of the water and jumped at the boar in a sudden reaction. He ran away - or at least ran away - then prepared a familiar attack I saw him used multiple times on me. I stood there to jump at any moment it would launched itself at me. Seeing the attack multiple times already, I easily dodged his frist attack with a leap on the left. It did several more attempts until it realized it wouldn't work and created another attack, which was, to ferociously chase me until I died.
I panicked when it continued rushing at me with full force when I dodged his attack. I ran as well with equal speed and remembered how screwed my endurance was and panicked some more. Surprisingly I lasted longer than I expected but it wasn't enough to outrun the boar with its incoming tusk.
"Do you ever tire!" I yelled at it.
Making one last dodge, I didn't realize the unstable rock where I used to be as the boar slammed at it and created a huge crack on the wall. Taking the opportunity to escape, I took a considerable distance as I saw a volley of rocks come crashing down to the confused boar who was still shaking of it's head. After the smoke cleared a bit, I saw a plume of black smoke generating out of the rocks. Getting a little bit closer, I tried confirming the boar was dead by slamming my foot on the rock, what little help it did. I peaked through the little crevices and spoke. "You dead?"
"..."
With no answer I happily cheered and sighed in relief.
"And I did that completely nude" feeling proud of myself, my worries soon turned to the bag that hung on the boar's tusk. It was in there, the rocks after lifting it myself were to heavy for me to lift or roll away. I tried again multiple times but it just didn't budge. Disappointed, I walked back to the lake to put my clothes back on. I sat on a log which I assumed came from the surface while I wore my boots. And when things just started to be quiet, I heard a loud screech coming from the other side of the cave.
