When she opens her eyes, Scarlet finds herself in a filthy tunel. Practically made of dirty mud and full of all kinds of disgusting insects, crawling and flying in every directions.
Surprisingly, the girl doesn't feel any pain, actually, her legs are completely numb so are her arms.
The box is nowere to be seen.
Slowly but surely, Scarlet gets on her knees and on her hands because the tunel is too small for her to walk on two feet.
After some time, the girl begins to feel her arms and legs and with them she starts also feeling the bugs walking all up and down on her body.
Scarlet ignores the disturbing feeling and continues walking down the dark filthy hole.
After some time, she spots a light ahead of her, when she gets to it she sees a sleeping pig with a glowing tummy.
Next to the pig something is written in the mud
"Kill the creature to get the key... What the hell!!?" the girl screams frightened and everything gets even worse when she looks at the knife in front of the pig.
In the village, Scarlet had a pig that she whould always play with, she loved pigs, she loved all the animals.
"This seems too easy... To become a good wizardess you need to love all the animals and not to sacrifice them, not even for your own good.
It's clearly a test, i must figure out a way to take the key from the pig's stomach, without killing it"
Scarlet sits there, thinking what to do, the pig looks harmless so she pats it on the head, waking it up.
When it sees her, the pig starts cautiously sniffing her. The girl figures out the pig is looking for a snack so she takes a bug from her arm and feeds it to the pig.
The pig seems to really like the taste of bug and relaxes around her. An idea pops in the girl's mind
"I can make it choke on a bug so it throws up the key, but how...?" Scarlet thinks while playing with her hair.
Her eyes land on the knife on the ground. She throws some bugs for the pig to distract him while she takes the knife and cuts some wires of her hair, she ties them around a fat bug and makes sure it holds tight.
The pig finishes eating and turns to Scarlet who is holding another snack, and this one is a big hit so he hurries to swallow it up. The girl holds tight on the wires while the pig tries to swallow the bug, now stuck in it's neck.
Finally, the pig throws up, a lot, all over the wizardess.
"No time to get disgusted, i have to find the door..." Scarlet murmurs while grabbing the key with the number 8 and giving the pig some bugs to eat.
Suddenly, the mud under the girl, swallows her whole.
The pig yelps in surprise
