Chapter 15

A Stroll Through A Dead Guy’s Corpse

“A bit further now, chums. We will take a rest once we reach the knee!”

Foggy’s voice bounced off of the wide corridors of the leg as we moved forward. Aeronik had some kind of lanterns that floated behind him, which had apparently come from his grandfather; clearly the old bastard knew more than he let on, and this was just another way to make his grandson seem useful. Still, I was grateful for the light.

The inside of this body didn’t seem so much like a corpse at all. The walls, if you could call them walls, ran like a wide tunnel, with smaller tunnels branching off of them that seemed just a bit too small for most of our group; me aside. The expanse was overgrown with plush moss, crawling veins of Ivy, and all manner of smaller insects which really messed with my mind. I mean, I’m hanging out with an inch worm and then I literally see a tiny centipede rush by and scurry into one of the smaller openings. You’re telling me there are bug people and normal bugs?

Hate this place.

I took the time of the walk to do a little introspection. There was an… unfortunate conclusion that I had come to, and it pained me to admit it to myself. Now I needed to dwell on it, accept it, and move forward.

I didn’t belong here.

This world was harsh in a way different than how my own world was. The people here accepted it and built themselves on strength and power to combat those hardships, and I wasn’t sure I had the fortitude for it. Sure, I had fought and even killed in this world, but was that who I really was? The answer was no. No, it wasn’t. Even if I was changing and adapting, I would always be the fuck up from the bar back home.

With that fresh in my mind, my next move became obvious. I had to get to that town full of people like me. I had to find it, had to get an answer from it. Maybe I could live there, or maybe I could find a way back to my own world, and I could put all of this behind me.

I… I felt things for these people. I cared about them more than I thought I would. I watched Foggy leading the way, and Ak just behind him. I remembered how frightened I felt when Fogwarth was on the brink of death, and the guilt I felt after everything with Ix-Lok. No, I wasn’t made for this place. These people were strong and brave, and I was only holding them back. I mean, everyone already knows the entire reason the bees invaded is because of me. The orchard, Lucan, and everything after all involved me.

Quietly I hoped that Fogwarth would come with me to the Resurfaced town, but I couldn’t expect that of him. For now, I would help find his freaky brother, try my best not to decay, and then free them of me.
