The weathered stone walls almost looked welcoming as we trudged through the entrance archway. However, the mud that accumulated under my boots made it difficult not to slip against the polished wooden floors. Looking towards Tommy, he had similar issues. Nearly going headfirst into a create of mouldy apples.
Holding my arm tightly, I leant against the wall while cursing softly to myself. The shock started to wear off, leaving me with the building pain.
"...Tommy..." I gasped with limited breath. The young boy whipped around to face me, "I need an instant health potion. And Tubbo."
I would've liked to have Techno by my side instead, knowing he had more experience with these specific wounds. But, seeing he was needed elsewhere, I called upon my second option.
Turning my head to face the group, I noticed a heated argument that I had no willpower to listen into. However, Niki found me slowly slipping down the wall. In an instant, she was by my side, helping me sit down.
She ran her fingers through her short hair, "how? Are...Are you.." Her face was mixed with sweat and dirt. A worried look pierced through her eyes.
Sucking in a breath, I shook my head while shushing her, "no need to worry, Tubbo and Tommy will be back soon." She stared at me like I was crazy, but I stared back with a smile. "What I need for you is to get everyone to push forward, or else Dream, and his lackeys are gonna come down to us... and keep an eye on Wil."
Before the brunette could utter another word, both Tommy and Tubbo jogged over. She understood that she wasn't getting any more from me after seeing my serious stare. Her armour clinked as she rose to tell the others.
Meanwhile, the boys dropped to their knees, "you're pale and clammy." I nodded to Tubbo's comment. My sweaty hair clung to my face, making me feel somewhat claustrophobic.
"Got the things I asked?" I murmured, watching the blonde nod and elbow his best friend. Who revealed an assortment of coloured liquids in bottles. I didn't see the familiar glowing red of instant health, but my eyes did land on a regeneration pot. Lifting my good hand away from my wound, I pointed at the potion to use.
Tubbo's eyes were glued to my right-hand side; blood had coated most of my clothes. Sapnap must have hit an artery, making this situation a little bit more complicated. I could only imagine the damage if it wasn't flamed.
Sighing, I reached down to my calf with my good hand, unsheathing a small dagger. I knew these arrows were different from the ones I pulled from Wilbur — those arrowheads were narrow and thin, this one was almost barbed in a way, four prongs securing itself in my scorched flesh.
Beckoning the brunette closer, I pressed the small weapon into his palm while turning to Tommy. "Tubbo and I will be done soon. In the meantime, I need you to join the others. They need as many soldiers as they can get." Tubbo was staring at the knife while the blonde looked stunned.
