"Alright we are in some kind of a joke." Everyone looked around, the same thing, little cleaner cell, little better lightning, little better smell.
"No, this is some kind of labyrinth..." Alex said this and took out his bar, he drew something on the ground, the ground was all cement-like material but, some of them had cracks.
He drew a formation, rectangle-looking 3-dimensional planes, he put a few lines in the plane and some doors inside.
"In my opinion, this place should be exactly like this depiction, there are many rooms, like continous traps that you can't escape, so if we want to escape only thing we can do is go through these doors one by one and reach the end..." Alex said this.
"How do you know how big the prison is," Ivan asked.
"I don't but i know the diameter of the mountain, i don't remember correctly but it should be somewhere between 3000 miles to 4500 miles..." Alex said.
"Uhmmm... miles?" Everyone looked at him weirdly.
"Oh damn... it's like... 125 days to walk..." Alex said this while frowning...
"Ugh..." Anzhel fell... he didn't think he would be able to survive 125 days with this Neus.
"Damnit... how do we survive that long? We don't have water or food..." Dimas gritted his teeth.
Alex didn't lose hope, nobody did here, they were grown in the sea, and they had encountered many hopeless situations, that was what came from traveling in the turbulent sea, but this was just too much.
"Let's walk, everything is getting better and better, maybe we will find some food in the rooms ahead." Alex walked away.
Everyone nodded.
They walked again and reached another room, everything was getting cleaner the staircase was getting bigger and walls were becoming whiter.
They walked 3 times in the rooms.
5 Times.
15 Times...
35 Times.
They forgot what time even was.
"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!!" Anzhel looked at the walls and punched out.
"Stop!!!" Ivan immediately stopped him, everyone looked completely malnourished, they were left bones and that was it.
Alex was breathing hard, he didn't know where they were but even with his mind and calmness... he lost count at 8 days... they walked more than 8 days here.
Everything was getting cleaner and now they could be considered to be in a luxurious-looking prison, everything was clean and the bars on the prison cells were made of quartz-like materials.
The staircases connected and a continuous swirling pattern was going up in the sky.
He theorized they were making floors with the connection from the stairs.
"Let's... continue..." Like an old man, with a broken voice, he said this.
"Agfghhh..." Anzhel gritted his teeth, he now really missed the times he was feeling Neus.
And at the end of this room...
They reached it.
"Aghhh!!! YESSS!!! YEEEEEEEEESDSSS!!!" They didn't see the dim light they always saw when the hallway ended, the light they were seeing now was warm and welcoming.
"LETS GO!!!" Everyone rushed over, they thought they escaped.
Alex also smiled, he was happy... they finally managed to exit from this hellhole. they finally were going to be saved... finally... escaped...
--
"Aghhhh..." Andrei fell filled with blood.
"You are persistent... escaping for 3 days without drinking..." Machaon looked the same, he felt like he didn't even care he was kidnapped.
"Damn you..." Andrei cursed, he was hungry and tired... the guards weren't letting their guard down for him to rush out to the exit.
"You must know another exit from this Mountain... tell me.." Andrei looked at Machaon and said this.
Machaon chuckled "You are the one kidnapping me and now asking me for something like that... that is some good irony i see." He smiled.
Andrei gritted his teeth and put his hand on his eyes... he really... didn't want to die here... he could only die after seeing his daughter once again.
"HEREEEEEEE!!!" Guards immediately approached.
"Agh!!! Damnit!!!" Andrei took Machaon and rushed out.
*BSGHHHGHGH*
He rushed out from the tree he was under.
*BZZZSSSTTT*
"AAAAAGHGHHHHHGHGY!!!" Andrei fell.. he fell after being pierced by an arrow.
Guards looked at him and yelled.
"CAPTURE HIM!!!" They didn't expect that Andrei would stand up and...
With probably the broken bone... he would run away from there.
Andrei looked extremely tired but his eyes were filled with determination and rage.
He would not die, he refused to die here.
Machaon furrowed his eyebrows once again.

"We escaped?" Everyone looked around, they were in some kind of forest...
The forest was mysterious, bellow them they could see some kind of green grass, and winds were blowing endlessly shuffling their hair.
*Grrrrrr*
Before they said anything else they heard some noise and as everyone looked at the forest...
A little white rabbit came out from it.
"FOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD!!!" Like hungry wolves, they unlocked their adrenaline and instantly caught the rabbit before it even looked up.
"*GRRR* *GRRR* *GRRR*
Rabbit was growling.
Alex was also handling rabbit.
*Crack*
Savagely they cracked the neck of the rabbit and before everyone devoured it raw Alex stopped them.
"WAIT!!! Let me cook it." With some unacceptance, everyone let go of the rabbit.
Alex took some branches made fire by moving one branch on another branch.
Gutted the rabbit.
And fried it immediately.
*Crunch* *Crunch* *Crunch*
Everyone took a bite and ate it with incredible delight.
"Ugghhhhhhhh!!! This was what i was missing, some food in my stomach." Everyone's color returned to their faces.
"So delicious..." Anzhel was crying in delight.
"Delicious." Alex was also crying in delight.
They were eating this little rabbit like this was the best thing they had ever eaten in the world, with the hellhole they were, this was expected and everyone would understand why were they doing this. they were man, after all, they saw food and decided to go ahead and make sure to eat it while killing it, this was a satisfying thing.
And as they escaped, they could not hold back their instincts.
But did they escape? just what was going on here.
