A sound riddled through the deep valley, cracking and growing in size. Rachael awoken from her unconscious trance and gasped for air as though she's been submerged for years. Morgan on the other hand though, was awoken by a miniature beast of the lands.
"Ow ow..i get it mom i'm up!" She spoke as she sat up, rubbing her eyes.
Rachael quickly looked around, discovering only that she was left at the bottom of a deep crevice in the Planet.
"W...W-what..." Her voice was shaken.
Morgan heard the familiar voice before opening her eyes.
"Rachael is that...." Morgan gazed up along the rock walls, amazed and frightened.
Morgan then looked down at the little creature that woke her up, finding only but a small Chicken.
"Well...that's not strange" She laughed a little.
Rachael calmed slightly by Morgan's presence, closed her eyes and took deep breathes.
"This isn't real...this is a dream Rachael....This isn't real!"
Morgan lifted the chicken and made way towards Rachael, hoping across rocks and climbing them.
"Rachael! Get a hold of yourself Damnit. Listen, I don't know how we got here or why we're even here...but we need to stick close and Work with each other okay?" Morgan explained as she clumsily scaled rocks.
Rachael looked at Morgan and her little chicken, then chuckled a bit.
"W-where did you get that?" She pointed towards the chicken.
"Oh him? He woke me up" Morgan laughed and began to pet him. "I shall call him Sir Clucks-A-Lot...Sir Clucks for short."
Rachael smiled slightly and nodded.
"Well hello Sir clucks"
The chicken looked at Rachael before resting on Morgans shoulder.
The loud sound riddled throughout the crevice once more, elevating in volume.
"What is that?" Rachael asked, frantically looking down both ends of the area.
"I'm not entirely sure...sounds like something big though." Morgan then giggled to herself.
The three ventured through the crevice, Sun blazing down on them.
"God...it's so damn hot"
Exhausted, Morgan took a seat on a rather large rock. The chicken fell onto her lap and rested as well. Rachael on the other hand didn't break a sweat and looked over at her partner.
"Really?! It's not even that hot"
"What do you mean?" Morgan noticed Rachael's state of comfort. "How are you not burning up?"
Rachael then looked around and noticed the heat refracting off the rocks.
"I just don't feel it..." She then looked down at her hands, then back ahead.
Morgan got up soon after and continued walking down the long path, tripping every now and then along with Rachael. The two continued until they discovered huge sink holes in the ground and walls ahead of them. They both stared astonished and scared.
"W-WHAT THE HELL?" Rachael screamed, her voice echoing through the crevice and holes. Morgan immediately clasped her hand on her mouth.
"Are you trying to get us killed or something? Calm down Rachael..they're just holes!"
Racheal stood in fear, her eyes locked on the large rifts.
"Cmon" Morgan shook her shoulder "let's get out of here."
Rachael shook in Morgans grasp.
"O-okay.."
The two turned and began heading back to their original location. As they walked, the same thought traveled through Rachael's mind. "What could've made that?"
Morgan, having Sir Clucks rest on her head, took lead. She felt no fear, other than Rachael's. She watched every step, counting the rocks one by one.
The two came to a halt as they heard crumbling within the walls of the crevice. Both stood silent, staring along the walls of their thought to be tomb. The wall just ahead of them shattered open, releasing a giant worm. The worm wasn't its true self though, as it's size resembled that of a Titans pet. It slithered its whole body out, revealing its Rock like appearance. The Worms clitellum opened up, spikes peeling upward and scratching the crevice's walls. It finally opened its mouth, exposing its column sized teeth.
The girls screamed and their eyes widened as they were assured certain death.
"NO NO NO" Rachael's voice cracked as tears fell down.
"YOU'RE NOT REAL! THIS ISNT REAL! THIS IS JUST A DREAM!"
Morgan stood speechless, shaking right in place. The beast then roared before moving making its way towards the two. Rachael screamed louder from her knees in disbelief and gripped the ground. A giant stream of flame flowing out her mouth, engulfing the whole crevice in her wake. The beast was met with the flame and trembled along the floor, rocks shattering its teeth. Morgan quickly looked upon her partner in amazement and fear. Rachael, her eyes widened, looked down at the ground.
"W-what..." Morgan stepped back a bit, holding against a rock on the wall. Rachael however stood up and looked at her.
"T-that..must explain why i don't feel the heat..." her mind running wild as she spoke. "I..." She looked down once more.
The large worm soon recovered, as it began its path towards the three once more.
"RACHAEL! DO THAT AGAIN PLEASE!" Morgan pleaded as her heart raced. Sir Clucks fell down into her shirt and hid.
Rachael turned and looked at the large creature then took a deep breath. She slid one foot back behind her and closed her eyes. Moving her hands back, a large ball of flame began to form within her palms, increasing in size by the second. She opened her eyes and screamed loud, hurling the grand flame out towards her executioner. On contact, the flame ignited the beasts face, sending it into a panicked state. The flames began to spread across, the rocks covering its body crumbling off. It roared in pain and crunched upwards, its skin being fried. Rachael stood in amazement, watching the creature struggle. It finally fell onto the ground, sending upward a small dust cloud. Morgan walked beside Rachael nervously.
"G-good job..." Morgan managed to spit out.
Rachael looked over at her partner, her eyes blazing like the Sun.
"W-what happened to me?"
"Hell if i know...all i know now is that your some dragon girl" Morgan laughed in assurance. Rachael smiled and nodded.
"I guess so. Maybe you have been...blessed as well."
Morgan shrugged and rose her hands, screaming at the sun.
"CMON MAN! HOOK ME WITH SOMETHING TOO!"
As her hands arose, plants quickly jetted out from the dry earth beneath them. Rocks were covered in vines and flowers bloomed at the girls feet. Rachael stared down in amazement.
"W-well then.." she giggled.
Morgan being unaware laughed and smiled.
"Hey, ya gotta tell the ma-" She stopped noticed all the life around them. The two girls looked at each other, smiled, then screamed in excitement.
"WE HAVE POWERS RACHAEL!!"
"YES I KNOW!" The two laughed and hugged each other. After the hug, they looked back at the worm. Morgan rose her hands slowly and vines began to arise from the ground, wrapping around the worm. With the swift movement of her hand, the vines pulled and slit the worm into tiny chunks of meat. The girls smiled and looked over.
"Shall we?"
"Yes we shall" Rachael responded.
The two soon adapted to their new environment. Morgan spread life across the crevice, providing them with fruits and veggies. Rachael cooked all the food for them made sure no threat could harm them. Sir Clucks-A-Lot stayed by Morgans side, plucking at her hair every once and a while. After a few days, the girls had planned their escape to venture out. Morgan summoned vines across the walls for Rachael and her to climb. The two stood at the bottom and looked at each other .
"Ready?" Morgan smiled.
"Ready as i'll ever be" Rachael smiled back.
"Then let's go."
