The Yellow Crystal

Chapter 17

I soon remembered that I have a connection with Orvax. My wait in the corner was giving birth to anxiety. So, I summoned my strength to catch on to the connection I possess with Orvax, an =d tried to shout out his name, in my thoughts. "ORVAAXX!" I shouted out, after feeling that I had caught onto the mental connection. "Huh, what heh?" he mumbled, struggling to understand what happened. "Syl, is that you. Its to late to talk or something you know." he said, in a dazed manner. "Well, is it to late to be stuck outside my block D's door?" I asked quite sarcastically. This statement seemed to wake him up. " WHATTTT!"

"I need to come out there. Help you. Oh god. Oh god. Nope, I need to go out there. You need my help." he was muttering. I said a swift and sudden,"No!" I could hear his footsteps stop. "No? What do you mean no?" he asked. "There are monsters crowded outside your room. They are not even looking for me, they are just crowded outside your room and banging on the door. It is weird. I can smell them, hear them, thus I am pushed to believe that they have heightened senses too. They should have found me easily. Wh-" I was interrupted by a thought ridden Orvax. "The creatures have slight knowledge about crystals, and wish to get crystals of their own, so that they can accomplish more damage to the city." was the answer Orvax's interruption provided.

I suddenly heard giant footsteps. I looked to my right, where if I navigated the maze correctly, would lead me to Orvax's room. My mental map showed no creatures coming from there. It actually showed no creatures coming from anywhere. I looked around the corner at which I was hiding, and saw a large, brown giant, carrying a sword befitting its carrier's size. For some reason I could not smell him nor hear him. "Syl, you have gone silent. What happened." asked Orvax. I replied, " There is this large giant. Brown in color and he is coming towards me. He is carrying a sword in his right hand, and my sense of smell and hearing cannot map him." I said. "Dao." Orvax said. "He is the most knowledgeable of all monsters, and the most skilled. He is green, so I am guessing that he has covered himself in clay, from the grounds, to mask his scent. He also has trained himself to walk with such light footsteps, that it can barely be heard by even the masters heightened sense of hearing. He is not gonna go easy on you, nor will you be alive if you face him. Run." said Orvax. "What?" I asked back "RUN!" he shouted out in my thoughts.
