MYTH ||Universe of Four Gods Series|| Book 2

💠Chapter 23💠

Snow's POV

The under ground cave was creepy. I was expecting it to be pitch black but it was not. The place is illuminated with lava rocks and we felt the heat coming from it. Hindi na rin namin nakita ang iba pa. Malamang ay kanya-kanya na rin ang hanap nila sa mga itlog. Now, We really don't know where to start. This place is unfamiliar at maraming lagusan kaming nakikita.

Naunang naglakad si Yuan kaya sumunod kami sa kanya. Siguro pinapakiramdaman ni Yuan ang paligid at kung saan dumaan ang mga nauna. I just have to have faith in them dahil hindi ako magaling sa ganito.

"Are we on the right track?" Tanong ko naman. I am just afraid na baka maligaw pa kami. Baka dito na rin ang aming libingan kung magkataon.

"There is no right track inside a dragon's nest." Sagot naman ni Yuan.

Well he is right. There is nothing can be right here. This is an absolute wrong idea. Sino ba naman kasi ang nagpasimuno nito? They can select a different task which is more possible than this. Paano kung hindi dragon egg makita namin dito what if it is worst? We are trapped inside at hindi pa naman ako nakakalipad. We don't even know what's lurking underneath.

We walked deeper and I can feel there are some sorts of crawling in the area. Nanindig ang balahibo ko, I am thinking about roaches, my ultimate fear.

"Ahm, did you hear that?" Tanong ko sa kanila.

"What?" Sabay nilang lingon at tanong sa akon.

"Something is crawling. It couldn't be a cockroach right?" Tanong ko sa kanila.

"Be happy if its just a cockroach, not more than that." Sagot naman ni Violet.

Kinabahan naman ako sa sinabi nito. Should I pray that it would only be a cockroach? They are small and. Easy to kill just in case, wag lang talagang lumipas.

"Violet, stop scaring her. It won't help." Sita naman ni Luna.

"What? She is funny. She is scared for something which is not supposed to be feared." Sagot naman nito.

This is really not my thing. But heck with the cockroach, tama nga naman si Violet. May mas nakakatakot pa sa cockroach in this unknown vicinity.

Tche.Tche.Tche.Tche.Tche.Tche

Nanindig naman ang balahibo ko. Nakakatakot kasi yung tunog and swear to god, it is a living thing! I can even hear it is crawling. Then suddenly I smelled something gross and similar with cockroach.

"Shit." Naisambit na lang ni Jin.

Then we saw the shadow rose from the ground and a gigantic centipede appeared!

Nanindig ang balahibo ko sa hindik. This looks like a prehistoric centipede! Sobrang laki niya at tsaka sobrang baho. It is already salivating looking at us and I bet it is already thinking about us his as his meal!

The centipede immediately attacked us but the 3 boys attacked in one time and without a second the centipede was cut into pieces. That was pretty brutal.

"There's no reason to be scared." Saad ni Yuan.

I fell in awe and silently smiled. Even he is jerk, there is still a soft part in him. Nagpatuloy lang kami sa paglakad at iniiwasan ko yung mga nahiwang bahagi na katawan ng centipede, it is more gross now that its dead, the stench is much more strong.

We went deeper and I can already hear a heartbeat. I am sure it is. A loud heartbeat, but what is it?

•••

We are down to the deepest part of the cave and the silence is already deafening. I can feel my heavy legs that feels like it is being suck in the ground. The pressure felt heavier. Is it because of the gravity? Malamang dahil nasa pinakailalim na ata kami ng mundo.
