We enter the Underworld today! Warning: things will get intense, not the blood-tense. Just the-stakes go-higher-tense.
"We're in the Underworld." Larry said.
Indeed, they were.
The heroes continued on in this dire place of the dead.
Act 5, Part 3: the River of Souls
The heroes walked through the Underworld.
Then the heroes noticed a blue River.
"This is the river of souls," said Larry.
"To get to the next Love Crystal, we'll need to go through there. I'll go first."
Then Larry dove into the River of souls.
Every action felt like swimming in a thick oil. The water turned a purple hue as he went down.
There were skeletons in the river too.
They tried to pull Larry down, and the fact that sometimes their hands did only added to the creepiness. Eerie music also started to play.
"So this is why they call it the River of Souls," Larry thought. "I'm willing to bet that the River drowns you."
Then Larry's face felt wrinkly. He looked at his hand, and it was wrinkled. His teeth felt loose and his hair was turning white.
"The River of Souls apparently doesn't cause you to drown," thought Larry. "It ages you until you die."
The River then turned black.
Larry closed his eyes, waiting for the unthinkable, and when he opened them, there was light, and he was in another cave, back to his normal age! His hair was like it'd never turned white in the first place.
Not only that, but in front of him were his friends!
"So they must have gone through that River too," thought Larry.
I hope that you enjoyed this rather intense chapter! What did you think?
