To the outside world,89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC6LCY0yh7
I consumed the potion that Ivy gave me. It was bitter and tasted a lot like cough syrup. I shrunk down to the size of a mouse and entered the walls. The groaning was almost too intense for my tiny ears to handle; I think my head might explode if it got any louder.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkCpbaqv8b
Ivy crawled through the wall with me and she barely made it. If it came down to the worst case scenario, she was capable of disassembling herself. She smiled politely, putting her two twig arms together. "I guess I'm the older sister now, Saira!"89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY4QS4YMLp
"Only until I can stop this awful noise."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpEPephT8V
The walls had a long path of pipes inside of it, and I climbed my way to the top. I noticed a small tent in the distance, and something was crawling out of it. "Why does that beetle have a tent, and why is it living in my metal walls?"89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrpomuU4zK
"Well, some beetles do live in walls, but I think this one is just unique."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNlK47IOus
"Will you two loud mouths keep it down!" the beetle screamed at us. "It's already bad enough hearing that blasted crying!"89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWS0XhrUt9
"I came here to deal with it, do you know where it's coming from?"89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu90frd5ooK
"No, and I don't want to. It sounds like it would eat me alive in a heartbeat. I try to stay away from hungry predators, and you should do the same."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBhY6WoOf2
"No can do. I've dealt with crazier things than this."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHUbl6JHv5
"Yeah, and I can see how dealing with things has fried that pink blob of yours."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWISqvlAmY9
"You mean the brain?"89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJpExQ5RvR
"What other pink blob could I be referring to? Actually, don't answer that. I don't want to learn any more about your terrible species."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gRR4xYGnn
"Just so you know, our species has a history of eating insects."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT51UNMZzyx
The beetle fled back into its tent. "Just continue forward and you should come across it."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYnjdd7RF1
"Saira, stop being mean to the beetle."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPITwyO0vAS
"It was being mean first!"89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIF5jQuNGi
We continued our journey through the wall. I stayed close to Ivy as the walls faded into a dark, rotten green. "We'll be okay, Saira."89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v4ruAsrZE
