**Too ease the confusion the new Quinn will now be named Finn**
Two tiny worms stuck in the food of a Giant worm. While one intentionally did this, the other got caught in the action. Both Worms had the same name. But that was pretty common. Right??
Should worms even have names? All other encounters with other worms are nameless. So why must their names be the same.
'no matter how I think of it we should have the same origins' - Finn
Finn was trying to put pieces together. He randomly woke up in a worm body in the dark cold soil with no memories. And now there's a predacious bloodworm with the same name as him.
Currently he was interwoven with the leaf like a piece of string sown into the fabric. Only, it was more like sown into his own grave, being dragged down into wherever that thing desires. Not to mention the unconscious predatorial worm hanging off him.
'What do I do... AHgghg why is this so hard?!? You know what fine lets get off with this worm and find out what it's about.'
Finn wriggled and squirmed. Tunneled and burrowed. But he was pinned. And the further you go down. The less oxygen in the soil.
They were gonna drown.
...
Quinn was oblivious to his situation. His very being overcome with absolute emptiness. Not a single thought or waste of energy. Just the feeling of observation. Feeling his presence rather than exerting it. Feeling the oxygen seep through his body rather than forcing it. Feeling the mana.
Observing how certain mana was left untouched while other mana was being manipulated around him by some Strange Aura. An Aura almost like his. As alone and hopeless. But different. Bigger more powerful. A strained preference. An assertive force over nature.
But there was another. Smaller. More similar. A sense of touch. A sense of an unknown connection. The same loneliness and pessimism. In inself different with confusion. A lost soul if you will.
And in the state of observation Appraisal screens shot up like fireworks.

The oxygen was getting worse. Finn stopped everything as to save energy.
'I'm gonna die!! like i'm really gonna die this time. why is this worm going down this far?? Isn't this BS. And how is this Bloody Worm still on me. All this turbulence surely the thing would slip right off...'
As if to speak it into existence. Quinn started to slip. Torn whether to help the Blood worm or not. Finn hesitated. He half-ass'd a motion to catch Quinn which resulted in The bloodworms fangs to get caught on the flesh of Finn.
'Ahhghgh you fucker get off me'
Finn squirmed the bloodworm off. But as if the scent of blood awoke it. Even though Quinn wasn't attached to anything it felt as though he was drifting through space. Quinn realized something.
'This is [Dig] to a really high level. The concurrent earth mana is being reformed to make the earth almost fluid like. it's … genius!!! wait!! how come I can't do this. More and more BS everyday smh wait blood!?! I'm... this is rather peculiar'-Q
Quinn shifted his weight and snatched onto Finn with his other fangs. Quinn wanted a better grip on whatever was going on. He needed a secure hold on his "ride" until he was flung forward. The Giant was slowing down.
'Jeez don't mind if I do'-Q
Quinn let go and got flung forward toward the Oversized turd. Quinn tried to judge the right time to munch onto the skin of the beast however he horribly failed. Instead he pathetically slammed into the head of the goliath, bounced to the side before sliding down the segments of the giant worm.
'Frick I gotta get a hold of this turd'-Q
...
'Did that blood sucking parasite try to bite that thing... welp at least it's off of me. Like it matters we're all gonna drown anyway' -F
Finn's judgement in this stressful situation didn't feel right. Everything felt off. The Oxygen deprivation started to get to him. and he was on the brink of consciousness
'How could the worm live so deep?? It doesn't make se... ns' -F
Finn fainted....
'F**k... ahhh no i ...'-Q
Quinn felt it too but was in a more dire situation. If he were to suddenly give up, it'd be no different to being in a victim of a train derailing and colliding into a pizza pallor at 3.30am on a Tuesday morning.
He had to do something. Digging one of his fangs to the side of the beast, Quinn gashed a slight scratch into the side of the worm but not penetrating the skin. Until it did. His fang caught flesh, yanked his body and snapped off. Quinn lost two of his fangs.
But by some miracle his last fang snagged into the flesh of the beast. Oxygen was running out. There is only one place he could think to look.
Inside the flesh of the great worm. Examining the merger scars made against the skin of the Giant there was no hope. The scars were too small for him to crawl into. He was out of time and out of oxygen.
