Poppy slowly opens her eyes.
Then she closes them
Opening them again Poppy remembers...
Realizing she's in her stomach Poppy lifts herself up with her hands and onto her knees
As Poppy does that an intense nauseating headache surges through Poppy's head.
Poppy grasps her head in pain, as there is nothing she can do
Looking around the room, light headed and dizzy, Poppy notices that she's in a fairly dark room, only illuminated by long lights across the corners of the ceiling.
With nothing but walls in all directions, Poppy sees a long window in the middle of one of the walls.
Looking around, she spots something on the floor..
It's Daisy...
Still unable to move her legs, Poppy, very weak, uses her arms to push herself over to Daisy
Grunting in pain, Poppy scoops up Daisy
Poppy's eyes start watering
"She's so clear..." Poppy thinks to herself
Daisy's color is almost completely faded. Poppy is able to see her own hands through Daisy
Quietly sobbing with Daisy in her arms for a few minutes, Poppy hears something...
It's coming from the window...
With tears streaming down her face, Poppy looks up at the window
It's Creek...
He's just standing there, grinning at Poppy and Daisy, like he's proud of what he's done...
Poppy tries to yell at him, but she doesn't have the strength to do it, so she just continues to quietly sob with Daisy in her arms
Night has fallen. Branch is still trekking through the woods, not letting night slow him down. He then sees something really big in the distance. Unable to figure out what it is yet, he gets closer
A few minutes later he arrives at it... a big gate...
It's a massive gate, like Bergens can enter it.
"I'm here..." Branch thinks to himself, knowing how close he is to saving his family
Branch needs to get to the other side. He can't get around it or through it, so he gets an idea to scale it...
Branch finds the close, thin bars are hard to grab.
After some time he makes it to the top.
Climbing up, throwing his legs over the edge to sit on the top to gather his surroundings and see what's around him
Branch finally gets situated on the gate, observing the so called "abandoned city"
The town looks full of life, with light on people talking and Bergens walking the streets.
Branch looks very confused. He thinks that he might have the wrong town. Why would one troll be in this town filled with Bergens?
He admires the beautiful town at night for only a few minutes
Branch turns around and puts his feet on the other side. Then he starts sliding down
Now on the other side Branch crouches down, making sure not to get spotted, not knowing if these Bergens are nice.
Quickly Ducking behind a park bench he pulls out his binoculars.
Zooming in he sees 2 Bergens, they're on a date.
Branch pans to the right more and sees something small..
Zooming in more, Branch gasps at the sight he sees...
A troll..
Panning over to the sidewalk he sees more trolls, a family of them.
"This town is full of Trolls and Bergens" Branch thinks to himself, shocked
Branch doesn't have to hide himself anymore. He gets the idea...
Branch puts his binoculars away and comes out from hiding.
He walks up to a troll and taps him on the shoulder
-Excuse me. Branch says
-oh hello! The Troll says
-What can I do for you? The troll follows up
-I'm new around here could you tell me a little bout this village, i've only ever seen this place recently
-Yeah, Definitely! We love new visitors! The troll happily says
-This village has been here for years and was in shambles with Trolls and Bergens divided among the western and eastern half of this village. Both sides were really poor and underdeveloped. King Creek swooped in now too long ago and took leadership! He saved us and brought us closer together! Now we all live in harmony! Even recently he gave power to this village! We have light in our houses at night! The Troll excitedly says
-King Creek? Branch questions
-Yes! King Creek is our leader! He's quite an awesome one; in my mind! The Troll follows up
-Do you know where King Creek is? Branch asks
-Right over there! The Troll says, pointing at the tall castle just in view
-Thank you so much! Branch says, quickly walking away
-Any time! The Troll says, waving at Branch
Branch arrives at the bottom of the steps to the castle.
Past the stairs, Branch sees the big door with no guards by it.
Branch makes his way up the several hundred steps to the door
Still no guards present, Branch tries the door... it opens...
Slowly creaking the door open, Branch peaks his head in
All the lights are off
Branch creaks the door open a little more
With the only source of light coming from the moon shining in from the windows and the now open door. Branch sees that no one is in the lobby.. it seems to be empty.
Branch opens the door enough to make his first step into the castle.
His first step echoing off the walls of the empty lobby.
With a second step, Branch makes his way inside, slowly closing the door behind him, making sure not to close it all the way
Branch turns to the left, passing a staircase and going down a hallway in search of Poppy, he looks around himself. He sees many paintings on the wall, only being lit up by the moonlight flooding the room through the many windows. The paintings seem to be of Creek.
One of them is Creek on a horse, another he's gifting what seems to be a whole village bread, on the other one people are bowing down to him..
It seems like Creek is really worshiped here...
Branch spots his first room. Walking up to the door, he jimmies the handle... and it opens.
