'Path to Hallownest. Diary of an ant'

°-In greenpath, such a beautiful place!-°

They suddenly found themselves into a new scenery, it was more... alive! Plants everywhere, the amount of green, the peaceful atmosphere... and the acid of course.
Wait, the acid? It was hard avoiding it, a wrong step could end up in an awful injury, and that would bring them problems, adding the violent infected bugs around the place.
Tote stared down at the acid, he seemed to be thinking about something, maybe he had an idea? But there was no time to loose, so he kept walking next to his family
They found a bench and took a break, Tare quickly pulled out their map and started drawing, excited at the thought of making their own map.
The grass was soft enough to make comfortable the siblings that sat on the ground. Tara checked the medicaments on her bag, making sure that she had everything ready in case any of the siblings got hurt
Tase cleaned her weapon that got dirty after slashing some infected bugs, as Tein and Tain didn't seem to care about their weapons being dirty
Teal and Trix admired the vegetation of the place, they could even eat something, plants are on their diet after all
Tori was thinking deeply about the infection, he always liked studying the things around him, and this was the perfect opportunity. He was in a place he never saw before, where bugs seemed to be out of themselves, he did want to inspection the infection closely, but he contained himself after having on count that he could get infected by accident.
Once the break was done, they all started walking again, and they let Tare be on lead this time, just because they seemed to love the place
Tare started walking a bit faster leaving the family behind without noticing, then they stop to look around, the beauty of the nature surrounding them was amazing
It would have been a nice moment if a Mosscharger didn't came out of the grass ready to strike them without any chance of running away.
Tare immediately paralized, they stared as the creature charged against them
In just a blink, Teal slashed the cover of leaves of the grass creature, showing that it was just a small bug, a scaredy one, because once it lost its diguise it quickly hide away
Teal turned around towards Tare, watching at his small sibling as they were shaking
Teal: Hey, are you ok? You should await for us when we're exploring new places
Tare: S-Sorry brother... I got excited... I shouldn't have done that
Teal: It's alright, at least you're ok
The rest of the family run over to them, Tara being the most worried one
Tara: That thing came out of nowhere! Are you guys ok? Did it hurt you?
Tare: Iam ok... what about you, Teal?
Teal: One of two arms, one of two eyes... yeah I think I'm ok.
They found themselves surrounded by acid many times, having to jump from a plataform to another, hoping to not slip and fell into a burning death
Tein: Do we even know where are we going?
Tase: Do we even know where he is? No? Then we shall explore all the kingdom. We came for him and we won't leave without at least seeing him.
Tori: She got a point, but is also true that we should ask for some help
Trix: I find that hard, the bugs of this place are like zombies, I don't think we can get any information from them
Tara: Of all the places he had to choose this kingdom... it's not that I don’t trust him, but this place is too dangerous, even for him!
Teal: You worry too much, sister. He's a skilled fighter, I'm sure he's ok.
Tare suddenly stoped in front of a signal, staring at it with curiosity
Tare: What it's that?
They pointed to the figure drew on the signal
Tara: I have no idea, but it's pointing at this direction
Tein: Shall we go?
Tara: I guess so, we have nothing to loose by going there
And like that, climbing through the different plataforms, they reached the stag station
Tara: What is this place...? Huh?
She stared down at the toll system, the ranure on it seemed to be for some kind of money
Tara: I think this thing needs 'geo'...
Tote: Oh! These infected bugs drop geo when they die, and some of us got to pick up some in the way
Tase put 27 geo, Tote put 12 geo, and the twins put 16 geo
Tara: Still not enough... we need more
Tote: I'll take care of it, just wait
He quickly left the station and went in look of more infected bugs
He climbed up and found a mossknight, getting ready, he threw one of his bombs at the infected bug, trying to not get slashed by the sword of this one
Once he saw that his opponent was weak, he pulled out his knife and striked at him, seeing how the infection started to come out and the bug fell lifeless to the floor
Tote grabbed the 40 geo that his opponent dropped, and went back with his siblings
He put the geo in the system and this one turned into a bell
Unsure of sounding it or not, Tara moved the bell, which started ringing as heavy and fast footsteps started approaching.
The siblings got their weapons ready, they didn't knew what was coming, but if they had to fight, they would.
The stag quickly arrived to the station, as he looked down at the small travelers
Old Stag: New faces, what a wonder. I see that you sounded the bell of the station, so you might need help in your travel.
Iam a stag, I carry travelers around different places of Hallownest. The only thing you have to do is tell me on which station you want me to left you and then get on me. Any other questions?
Tara: Stations...? Travel...? Is this even safe...?
Old Stag: I might be old, but trust me, none of you will get hurt in the travel
Tara: We don't even know where to go... we have never been here...
Old Stag: I might suggest... the Queen's Station?
Tara: Queen's Station...?
Old Stag: Yes, it's a good place to rest, and you can go into two different areas from there
Tara: Mhhh... Guys?
She turned around, some siblings struggled, other ones didn't respond
Tara: I guess is worth the risk... Can you take us to the Queen's Station?
Old Stag: Of course, come here, get on me and try to not fall.
And so they did, they arrived to the Queen's Station and slowly got off the old stag
Tara turned around and looked at the Stag
Tara: Do we have to pay you anything?
Old Stag: No no, don't worry about that. Now, if you need to travel again, just go to a station and ring the bell, I will be there the soonest I can. Now, farewell dear travelers.
The ants waved and left the station behind.
