Chapter 17:

At the Bottom of the Cavern

I DIDN’T KNOW how much time passed, but when I woke, I could only hear Greed shouting.

“Hey! Fate! Hey, wake up!”

“Greed…? Ah! Ow. Did you hear that pop? I think my ribs might be fractured. Lady Roxy…looks unharmed, thankfully.”

Lady Roxy lay on top of me, unconscious, but whole and breathing. Slowly, hazily, she opened her eyes.

“Fay?” she whispered.

That one word had me scrambling for my skull mask, which had slipped from my face in the fall.

Where is it?!

I looked around hastily and found the thing had fallen by my side. At least it was still in one piece. I scooped it up with my left hand and quickly fastened it back over my face.

It might be too late already. I’ll have to make something up to put her off my scent. Well, it’s dark, so…

However, when I looked back at Lady Roxy, her eyes were once again closed, and she’d fallen back into unconsciousness. I carefully slipped out from beneath her and laid my jacket under her head as a makeshift pillow. About thirty minutes later, she woke up fully.

“Are you all right?” I asked.

Her answer came slowly. It was taking a little time for her senses to fully return. “Yes. I’m sorry about earlier, but thanks to you, I’m fine and ready to go. Ouch!”

Lady Roxy tried jumping to her feet to show me she was uninjured, but she lost her balance. Her left leg was causing her the pain.

“You’re not fine at all. Here, lean on my shoulder.”

“I’m…I’m sorry.” She let herself lean on me, but her face spoke only apologies.

Lady Roxy was horrible at hiding things, so I knew if something had changed in how she thought of me, her feelings would show in her reactions. Fortunately, I didn’t detect anything different. She’d probably written off seeing my true face as a dream. After all, on the way, she’d said I reminded her of someone she knew…that someone being the real me, Fate. She could readily assume she’d been disoriented.

For now, we had two things to worry about: how to get out of this place, and what had happened to the surviving chimera.

“You don’t need to apologize,” I said. “I’m helping you because I want to.”

“Thank you. I’m glad.”

“We better get away from this area. I think the chimera might have fallen with us.”

Lady Roxy was in no shape to fight again. I needed to get her somewhere safe. Using my Night Vision, I examined the cavern into which we’d fallen. There were monsters in here too, albeit of the aged, petrified-boulder variety. How long had monsters been piling up in this canyon?

However, the monsters down here were like none I had ever seen. Huge beasts with seven heads, others with countless spindly legs, and some with coiled tails like snakes… They looked far more massive and ferocious than the creatures roaming the kingdom these days.

Lady Roxy was also shocked. “I’ve never seen monsters quite like these.”

“Perhaps they roamed the world long ago.
