Chereads / The Dreaded Spiral Tower / Chapter 3 - FINALE

Chapter 3 - FINALE

As I went inside the murky cave I noticed a faint scent-- it was the smell of death.

I could a hear a loud screech in every direction as the sound echoed throughout the cave. There was an animal inside.

It sounded like a Wyvern. That was the worst possible outcome, if it truly was one I would surely die.

Nevertheless, I ventured forward. After all, I couldn't delay.

This was the mistake that led to my downfall.

The smell of blood grew closer with each passing step to the point where I had to completely cover my nose. I approached two different paths, split between the left side and the right side.

Someone had made markings to indicate something.

The left side was a shield that had a symbol inside of it, a peace sign. The right side had a sword, with dried blood smeared over the tip.

These markings would typically indicate that the left side was safer, but the scent of blood came from the left side.

I made a rash decision to go left.

Who knew this decision would cost me everything.

I went through the left side in pursuit of this quest and found myself on the edge of a large ravine. There was boiling lava at the bottom.

I tried to scale closer to the lava, there would definitely be autumn sprouts near there.

I lunged forward and snatched an autumn sprout from the ground, but in that split second I made eye contact with another human. He had gray hair, crimson eyes and a green shirt. It was Dan the Murderer.

I had to run.

But there was nowhere to run.

Without a weapon, I died.

The End.
