The sound of water dripping in long intervals was echoing inside a tunnel naturally formed inside a cave. Meanwhile, in the background, rhythmic steps were approaching that place. Those were cautious and slow steps, that even so managed to do such a noise inside that silent location that didn't seem to be inhabited by anything.
A boy appeared in that tunnel. He had a couple of bright mushrooms on his hand also as sharp rock in the other and was limping hard. It didn't seem to be too difficult to walk, but he couldn't fully use his right leg to do so.
His body was all covered in bruises that weren't bleeding anymore, but about to open again any time he exerted strength on his muscles.
'This place... is bigger than I thought... It's the first time that I am actually entering a cave, and I must say that it isn't like anything I thought it was before. Honestly, I am very impressed by how nature could make something like this...'
