Chapter Fourteen

Passing through the threshold made Eric’s scales tingle, the energy flowing over him like a wave. He found himself standing in water, the threshold keeping the seas above at bay. His body lifted gently from the ground as it began to float, Eric’s monstrous form surprisingly buoyant. With a flick of his tail, he began to swim forward, the limb propelling him with rhythmic undulations. He felt good about his chances, the presence of the threshold told Eric that he was at the extreme limit of the essence field that filled the Lost Earth, or at least this bubble of it, and it seemed likely he could make his way back up to the surface from here.

He held out the crystal as he swam, still on guard for the presence of Kaiju. The giant walrus was still out there somewhere, and whilst it seemed like a Kaiju should be an easy thing to spot, the creatures had an annoying knack of somehow managing to sneak up unseen. The darkness of the water wouldn’t help, the light from the crystal-filled cave fading quickly once Eric began to swim. He felt like he had spent days shrouded in darkness and longed to see the sun again.

The tunnel went on for what seemed like an eternity, Eric simply swimming onwards as quickly as he could. The pathway twisted and turned, spiralling off in an unclear direction. He swam for what must have been at least a few hours, his Kaiju body giving Eric a vast untapped reserve of stamina.

He found himself surprised as the exit to the tunnel appeared before him. The pathway had looped back around towards where he had entered the network and if Eric had continued on his original course rather than choosing to follow the smaller tunnel, he would have found himself in the large crystal chamber connected to the lake. All routes led to the ancient city it seemed, though the Kaiju that Eric had been looking for was conspicuously absent. That worried him, either he had missed it or the creature had escaped, neither of which would be an outcome Erin would be happy with. The thought of letting her down filled Eric with dread, the look would be withering.

The light of the sun breaking through the surface of the sea was a welcome sight, even if it was bent and distorted by the water. Eric found another burst of strength within himself, accelerating as he raced towards it.

He breached the surface, water spraying into the air and sloughing down his scales. It felt good to feel the air around him, to see the trees and melting snow of the Icelandic shoreline. There was a fishing boat near him, its crew desperately trying to hang on as the ripples from Eric’s emergence sent their boat into a spin. It was the first time that Eric could see exactly how big he had become. His flurry of levels had sent him skywards, each increase in size exponential when compared to the last.
