Mayhem of Darkness: The Original || A Find the Markers Fanfic

3|| Hidden Secrets

You were back in the Mainland.

Okay, so. Foliage said something about a safe in Candyland? you planned. I guess I should go there.

You walked from Spawn, passing through the Snow Biome, and entering Candyland.

You started looking around, poking yourself in places where it seemed like a hidden safe would be.

All right, hidden safe. You thought, letting out an exasperated sigh. You're killing me here- hang on..

Trying not to fall, you carefully reached behind the chocolate waterfall. Your hand was coated in chocolate, but to your surprise, you felt a wall.

A spark of hope flickered inside you. You braced yourself, and jumped through. You let out a sigh of relief. There safe you were looking for was inside here.

"Oh, thank Wild Card..!" you exclaimed. You bent down and entered '3882' into the safe, and — as you expected — it opened, revealing a crow bar inside.

Just like Foliage said, you thought. You jumped out of the secret room behind the waterfall — getting drenched in chocolate as well — and headed back to Spawn.

You went to the old, boarded up, rusted door. You held the crowbar in your hands and clutched it tightly. You pulled it over your head then...

Crash!

"Whoa.." you utter, full of amazement. You set the crowbar down on the ground and started walking inside the room you just unlocked.

Sweet Wild Card... This place has been really overtaken by vines and flowers, you noticed. If this used to be Dark Markery's hidden base.. and there's nature all over the— "WHOA!"

You lost your train of thought almost immediately, as you almost fell over, realizing that there was a cliff in front of you.

You sharply inhaled, then exhaled. You noticed that the vines were overlapping each other, barely creating a path.

Like an obby. You shook your head. Okay, you got this!

You hesitantly started walking on the vines. Step by step, you were able to cross to the other side. It was tedious, but nothing that you couldn't handle.

After making it to the other side, you noticed two things: another cave (Why another cave— you thought, crying on the inside.), and some writing on the outer cave wall.

You crouched next to the writing. It was written in some sort of red paint, and read: Nature finds a way.

Nature finds a way, huh? You silently exclaimed, then looked at your surroundings. Yeah, no kidding.

You then spent at least ten minutes pacing back and forth, wondering what the writing meant. When you realized what you were doing, you were very confused, and spent ten more minutes questioning your choices. Then you realized that what you were doing was a complete waste of time, and you should just walk into the cave already.

When you walked into the cave, you saw some things that your own eyes couldn't believe.

"Oh my..." You said in awe, looking around you.

While walking around, exploring a bit, you couldn't help but notice that this.. underground, overgrown city bore a striking resemblance to the Abandoned City above.

I wonder... you began, did Dark Markery use Foliage Marker in their.. experiments or whatever? You wondered, somehow managing to annoy yourself. Dang it! I could've asked Foliage that. You took a few breaths to calm yourself down. Whatever, it's too late anyway. You thought bitterly.

After looking around for a while, you were disappointed to find that you couldn't find anything. Oh well, you thought. It's fine. At least what Foliage said was true.

But before you left, you noticed something on the back of the old Abandoned City clocktower. You went back to that area; to your surprise, the were two things there. More specifically, a note, and some more red writing.

You crouched down and picked up the note. It said: Gone 2 void. –DM.

"DM," huh? you repeated. That could be Dark Markery! I guess I have to go to the Void...

You put to note back where it was. Holding it in your hands gave you an unsettling feeling. You then read the red text. The code is EVILPURPLECHAINSAW, it read.

Oh great, another code, you sarcastically believed. But behind that sarcastic thought, were many, many layers of worry and paranoia.

You decided it was time to go.

You left the cave. You crossed the vines. When it came to the point where you were about to exit, you thought, Maybe this was a bad idea to get involved...
