THE QUEEN OF ANTS
Alpha found another exit that wasn't filled with these bloody Mithrium ants. We quickly followed him, putting out my magical shield behind us as we ran. Ratatouille's Vortex Beast was gone by now, devoured by the ants and we had no plans to bring it with us. Ratatouille himself escaped into my soul realm to hide from the pesky ants.
Soon, we ran toward a previously unexplored exit which connected to the abandoned mine that we first came into and before long, we reached the entrance of the mine.

"Oriese, what took you so long?" Agrilla shouted toward me near the entrance of the mine.
"Damnit, Agrilla, didn't I ask you to return to the camp outside?" I asked my friend.
"I was afraid you might get lost in there, so I waited here for you", he told me.
"Run, we must run from the mine and seal this bloody entrance for good", I told him, and we quickly ran toward the entrance.
