As the rock got close to the wall, Natsu jumped off only to see another big rock heading towards him.
"Shit!!!" Natsu thought as he collides with it, as it was carrying him closer to the wall.
"This wasn't what I was expecting" Natsu thought.
He immediately tried standing on the rock as he then jumped towards the wall and ran a little on it, before jumping away from the wall making it look like a back flip.
The rocks broke the wall as Natsu landed on the ground, as the place brightened up a little since light came through the wall.
"That was close, I can't believe I just did that, guess I'm a little bit cool" Natsu thought as he started facing the beasts direction.
Suddenly a small rock hit Natsu's head throwing him towards the ground.
The mother was breathing heavily as she stopped the attack.
The two cubs were worried about their mom as they came very close towards her and began to rub their body against hers.
Natsu saw this as he was lying down, he felt pity for the cubs as it reminded him of his grandma, so he stood up and went towards them.
"I think the reason she's acting like this is because she spent all her energy trying to kill me" Natsu thought.
The mother tried moving towards him but fell down to the ground.
"I was right, she has been throwing both powerful and deadly attacks towards me, so she must be tired after all that" Natsu thought as he continued heading towards them.
One of the cub saw Natsu coming towards them so it began to growl, as it was trying to protect it's family, since the mother wasn't able to move much, as the other cub tried supporting and consoling its mother.
Natsu began to talk as he thought to himself, "This beasts are acting like humans, they're trying to protect one another, I don't have the right to kill them"
"I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying, but I'll still say it anyways, get stronger, that's the only way you can protect yourself and your family, because if you're weak they'll kill both you and your family" Natsu said as he thought, "Yeah, just like me, I have to get stronger if I want to survive and get back to my grandma"
"There's one thing you should always remember, and that is. 'No matter the cost! As you get stronger, only use your strength to protect your family and not to hurt anyone, unless they threaten your family's life, got it!' I don't want to hurt you guys, so I'll take my leave" Natsu said as he walked passed them and picked up his knife placing it back in its pouch.
"Oh, and one more thing, make sure you don't cause any trouble and protect each other with your lives, okay" Natsu said as he smiled towards them and ran out of the place through the broken wall.
As Natsu went through the hole, he was so surprised with what he saw.
"Wait, why is there a large hole in front of me, and what's that sound?" Natsu said as he came out from the hole.
As Natsu turned towards his left, he was so surprised to see a waterfall.
"Wait, don't tell me that I'm close to a waterfall" Natsu said as he held his hair in confusion and then sighed.
"So how do I get down from here?" Natsu thought as he began to survey the place.
Natsu was at the edge of a waterfall, but the problem was that he couldn't see the depth of the fall, and the worst part was that the waterfall was a little far from him, which means that it was possible for there to be land beneath him instead of water. Plus, the walls of it was really slippery, and barely had edges for someone to use to come down.
"I'm not seeing anything much but there's something I know, I can only see the part of the forest that is very far, which means this waterfall is covering the light making this side look really dark" Natsu thought.
"I know, I'll just throw a rock down to know how deep it is, plus it would let me know what's underneath, whether it's land or water" Natsu thought as he picked up a little rock and left it to fall into the hole.
"I can't believe I thought of this on my own, I'm really smart after all" Natsu said as he laughed out loud.
The rock fell until Natsu lost site of it, and after a while, heard the sound of it hitting so many rocks and then landing into the water.
"Yep I'm dead if I jumped down"
"So how do I get down from here?" Natsu thought.
"It's true! How can I forget" Natsu said as he remembered what his grandma said, "Ropes are really useful in so many ways" as he then had a faint image of his grandma holding him, and jumping off a cliff with a rope, while holding a rope.
"Yeah that's right" Natsu said as he brought out one of his knife and tied the magical rope on it.
"This should be tight enough" Natsu said as he tightened the ropes and stabbed it to the ground, causing the sword to go inside the hard solid ground a little, as he then used the rock next to him to hit it deeper into the ground.
"There, that should do it!" Natsu said as the only part of the sword that could be seen was the handle of the blade.
Natsu then tied the other end of the rope around his waist, as he threw the remaining side of the rope downward, and gently began moving down by holding the trail of the rope, while jumping down slowly.
He was moving downwards like a mountain climber.
"This takes me back, I remember doing this when I'm coming down from really tall mountains back home, guess nothing really changed" Natsu said as he was coming down.
Natsu was really surprised about the rope, because it just continued expanding and getting thinner the more he went down, as he then got close to a place full of thick fug.
Natsu could barely see since the fug was really thick, as the noise of the waterfall grew louder when he continued going downwards.
"I guess I'm getting closer to the ground, but how's this place going to be like" Natsu thought.
As he was jumping downward and holding his rope like that of a mountain climber, he finally got to the bottom of the waterfall.
"Sigh"
"I'm lucky I didn't jump down, forget about the rough edges of the rock's and the unstableness of it, this water isn't deep" Natsu said in relief.
The water wasn't really deep and the worst part was that although his leg were on the ground, the water wasn't even up to his waist as it was in-between his knees and waist region.
Natsu tried pulling the rope and his sword down but couldn't, as he then realized that he put his blades way too deep for it to easily pull out.
"Alright I guess that this is the perfect time to know the limit of its elasticity" Natsu thought as he started walking straight towards the direction of the light.
"This place is really dark and the water fall is really loud, I guess it's only few people with high reflexes that would be able to survive this place" Natsu said.
"Oh shit, after saying that out loud I just realized that this would be a funeral ground for people like me" Natsu thought.
"Ahhhhh, what the hell I'm I suppose to do" Natsu screamed.
As his voice echoes throughout the forest Natsu realized that there could be hungry beasts lurking in the shadows.
He immediately stopped in his tracks and looked around to know if he would see any beast.
"Sigh"
"That's a relief, I can't believe I didn't attract any beast" Natsu thought as he continued walking.
On his way, he accidentally entered into a place that made it hard for him to move.
"Damn, I guess the water has started becoming thick" Natsu thought.
"Hold up Natsu, water doesn't become thick, and there is no current" Natsu said to himself as he stood at a place.
"Is it just me or is the water increasing slowly" Natsu thought as he bent and felt the ground realizing that the place his legs is in was like a mud.
This made Natsu take in deep breaths as he screamed, "Someone, anyone, help!!!" While he panicked realizing that he was in a quicksand.
"I can't die now" Natsu thought as he tried pulling the rope.
"I get the fact that this rope is very elastic but please reach your limit and stop me from falling down, please" Natsu said as he continued sinking into the quicksand.
Natsu began to panic as he began to shout, "Become stiff already, don't stretch, come on, just stop becoming longer, freeze!!!"
"Ahhhhh!!!"
"Why does this things happen to me, come on, why does life hate me this much? Come on rope, just stop growing long, please!!!" Natsu said as tears began flowing from his eyes.
"I'm not ready to die, so please stop becoming longer" Natsu said.
By the time he said this, he was already almost swallowed by the quicksand as the water was already close to his neck region.
Natsu notice that no one was going to save him, and that the rope wasn't going to stop stretching.
Natsu took a deep breath in as if he wanted to swim, he faced his head towards the sky and closed his eyes as he became completely swallowed by the quicksand.
"I guess no one is helping me out of this. I only have about two minute before I start suffocating, which means I have less than two minutes before I die" Natsu thought as he was going to the depth of the quicksand.
"Hmmm, instead of waiting for the two minutes to elapse without doing anything, is best I try to make this rope reach its limit, that way I would be able to shoot myself out of here" Natsu thought as he immediately started trying to dive deeper into the quicksand.
Natsu was going at a forty-five degree angle as he started diving.
"From the place I entered, I guess this should be the best direction to dive" Natsu thought to himself.
"It's better I go through this angle, and the reason is this. First of all, it would be easier to move deep into this thing, plus it will be easier for the rope to pull me out of here without any obstruction once it reaches its limit"
"Now that I think of it, this plan can go wrong in so many ways, and the worst of all is if the rock attached to the knife pulls out and enter into the quicksand with me, which means that all my efforts will go to waste"
"But I would prefer if it pulled me out of this, although there is another problem with that. Just say I fly out of here, I would crash into the wall and with the speed and force I would be moving in, I'll be smashed like a pancake and that's instant death"
"There is also a possibility that if I get out of here the same time that the rock holding the knife pulls out, and we collided, it would split me into half, and if we don't, I would head towards the rocks direction which means I'll be back to square one, since it's going to land back into this quicksand"
"Guess I'm really unlucky, there is no way of me surviving this" Natsu thought as he began giving up hope on survival.
