"Lily catch up or we're going to leave you behind" Rose joked as the group slow down so Lily could catch up.
"I can't everything here scares me" Lily replied.
"Do you want me to tell you a story?" Jingo asked.
"Yes!" Ivy answered before Lily or anyone else could.
"Ok, well I used to have a brother but he died in these very caves as a sacrifice, his name was Alex." Jingo said holding back tears.
"I'm sorry to hear that" Rose answered.
"What do you know about the monster?" Ivy questioned.
"I know a lot of things about the monster." Jingo replied, "While we're walking I guess I could tell you about the monster."
"Yay, a real story time" Rose announced.
"The monster used to be a man named Vex. One day he disappeared and no one knew where. But when he came back he was... different. He was hateful and very gullible. Over time he started to lose all human traits and blackness consumed his body. Everybody started to reject him even his own family. Eventually he gained the powers of pryotelekinisis(fire powers) and he started to take revenge on all who rejected him. Anger consumed his heart. Then he wasn't Vex anymore he was the monster. And that's all I know about the monster." Jingo answered.
"Wow that's a lot" Rowan stated.
"Hey guys look at that!"Rowan exclaimed. Drip, Drip, Drip. Water! Ivy thought. Rowan approached the water, it looked black.
"I think this is drinkable!" exclaimed Rowan.
"I wouldn't drink that if I were you" Rose replied as she examined the little puddle.
"I agree" Jingo and Lily stated at the same time.
"Guys hurry up I think I can see some light!" Ivy yowled from a little ways away. Rowan cupped his hands and pick up the water, he was about to drink it but then the water started moving.
"Why is the water moving!" Rose screamed. The water formed a figure... it was the monster!
