Chapter 302 - Incline 4: Larishazza

"Oh, okay, you like it rough, do you?" I laughed out at the weak creatures that were attacking me. I was too strong for them to hurt me, but they had gotten the jump on me as I walked in the dark and now... Well, uh, they seemed to be trying to rape me. My magic, however, kept them away and I was forced to look at some rather grotesque sights.

I would kill a few, but, I had to be careful as I was also protecting some people I had found. These sudden bangs that were echoing throughout the tunnels also had me worried. As they shook this place down to the foundations. And with each bang came more violent results down here.

Cracks, loose rocks, new tunnels or chambers being revealed. That was what was happening with each blow I felt the distant tremours of. So I had to pick up the pace to get these lot out of here. But, my magic wasn't really made for this.

I had improvised my fighting style out of my dancing style and that basically meant no protection. I could make shields, sure, but that was again, an improvised spell meant for something else. They were constructs meant to help me spread the joy of dancing! Not means to fight horrible creatures!

"Are you sure none of you knows how to use magic!?" I asked after clearing a tunnel with a large ball of water magic. And it was quite the tunnel as I did not even hear the water burst until a while later. But, in regards to my question, I got the same answer as before when I found them. A big fat no...

It made me want to roll my eyes, but, I kept on going either way. And I would kill as many as I could before I let out a sigh of relief when it felt like I was done. Only for me to then get jumped by a bunch hiding on the roof above as we entered a new chamber. My quick thinking, however, managed to save those I was guiding by keeping them separated with a wall of water.

"Get off!" I groaned in annoyance as they began to pile onto me. Certain body parts were even coming out during these brief few moments. But, something else was quickly approaching, and it made me smile despite my predicament. And in but a moments notice, I was in the arms of someone I could call friend.

"ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?" Nin screamed and cried as he protectively hugged me while I cleaned myself off. I didn't answer with words, though, I just smiled and returned the love my friend was handing out. Maybe I should have, though, because it seemed that my quietness was making him more worried. As he was completely baffled to see me smiling when he pulled me before his teary eyes.

So, I remedied the issue with a simple uttering, "Don't worry, I'm alright, Nin!" I tell him as I smile brightly. Keeping up the smile even as I began to flick small pebbles past him and at slowly approaching bugs. And as he settled into the idea that I was fine, he began to turn into a similar state.

"Can we get out of here...?" he then weakly asked while shivering and looking about in a paranoid manner. It was also interesting to note that the tremours had stopped as well. So, either, it was him, or Einervaene. And, just this once, I wanted to think it was Einervaene confidently strutting her stuff that caused the ruckus!
