Natasha looked at Zeno with furrowed brows and contemplated. Then she said,
"But my dialogue box said that I need to find the first aid box and then I'll get a new quest to find the exit. I found the first aid box. Then the voice said that I need to come here, The Dreamers Park to get to the exit. Then it said that the twisted tree with a hole is the exit. That' why I came here in the first place"
Zeno furrowed his brows thoughtfully and asked "What did the voice say this time?"
"It said that we need to do something to make the tree drop its barrier "
"What are we supposed to do to make a tree drop its barrier. Not like we have trees with barriers"
"Heh?!" Natasha exclaimed in confusion.
"What happened?" Zeno asked.
"The voice told us to find something that we can use as a weapon "
"What would we need a weapon for?" Zeno questioned.
Natasha just shrugged and shook her head. She didn't know what they would do with the weapons either.
"Fine, let's go find something "
Zeno and Natasha went to see what they could find.
Zeno was looking here and there carefully to look for something they could use as a weapon. While behind him, Natasha kep babbling and murmuring to herself about how this thing was really stupid. Zeno too thought that this was stupid, but Natashas babbling was making him irritated. But he kept quiet for some time.
"I wish I could find the voice. Then it wouldn't have been so troublesome. Where are we anyway. Wha the hell is this place? This place is really weird. Now the exit is weird too. And why are we the only ones here. Why is there no one else here. Why are we looking for a weapon. This is all bullshit. I find this place really creepy. This is all useless..." Natasha kept murmuring and talking to herself.
Zeno felt that his head was going to explode if he kept hearing her talking to herself. He was holding himself back from sayong something to the girl. He knew that if he said something, the girl might throw a tantrum again. He wasn't in any mood to handle a petulant child at this moment. So he beared her murmurs and kept his eyes open for anything helpful.
"Hah...such a useless and weird place. Such useless voice. Telling us to do something but not giving us details. Useless dialogue box not giving us any clues. Stupid, stupid place..."
Zeno finally found a crowbar and small shovel. He picked those up and gave the shovel to Natasha. Natasha looked confusingly at Zeno.
"Take this, this one is lighter. You will be able to carry and handle it"
Natasha looked at the shovel that Zeno extended towards her and took it begrudgingly.
"Stupid stupid place, stupid voice, stupid dialogue box..." Natasha was murmuring again while they walked towards the tree again.
Zeno just ignored her this time.
They reached the tree and looked to see if they could find something that would make the tree drop the barrier.
"What are we supposed to do now?" Natasha asked.
"Ask the voice that told us to find weapons" Zeno replied.
Natasha was dumbfounded.
"What happened? " Zeno asked looking at her dumbfounded expression.
"This stupid voice says it doesn't know what to do either!!" Natasha screeched. Zeno winced at Natashas tone. But he was much calmer than Natasha. He kept thinking of what to do.
Natasha started pacing left and right while Zeno was thinking of ways. "Stupid stupid things..stupid everything..very very stupid..." Natasha was murmuring again, breaking Zenos concentration.
"Can you stop pacing?"
"No I can't. This place is giving me the creeps. I want to get out of here as soon as possible!"
"I want to get out too! So please for f*cks sake shut up for sometime and stop moving around. Keep quiet!" Zeno told Natasha harshly. Natasha shut up and stopped pacing. She walked towards a tree nearby and sat on the trunk while leaning on the tree. "Ah-" The tree behind her slipped and she almost fell. 'What the f*ck was that?' Natasha looked behind her. The tree trunk which was standing before was now leaning on the side.
"Hey kid! What did you do?" Zeno asked when he heard Natasha yelp.
"I didn't do anything. I just leaned on the tree and the tree leaned too!" Zeno looked at Natasha incredulously.
"I swear I didn't do anything!" Natasha exclaimed.
Zeno ignored her and turned to the twisted tree and saw that there was no barrier anymore. Zeno rounded his eyes and looked at Natasha.
"What?"
Zeno hurried towards Natasha and shooed her away from the tree she was leaning on.
"What are you doing?" Natasha asked.
"The barrier was removed. There's so barrier there anymore. This tree might be the leaver or the trigger which removed the barrier" he looked closely and noticed that it actually was a leaver.
