Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Short memory! Obediah sneered inwardly when hearing the ridiculous whispers from those around him. Have they gotten how strong Dorian's group was? Even if you don't want to obey, do you really have a choice here? What's more, are they all blind to the magical operations from Dorian's side too? No… Obediah wasn't so foolish to get on Dorian's bad side, especially while in here. Thinking of the mysterious things that happened since entering the tomb, Obediah knew for a fact that they weren't ALONE. And soon, his thoughts proved right. Because after everyone crossed several more bridges and was halfway through the 7th bridge… the worst happened, leaving him and many others shaking in their boots. "Nooooooo!!!!" Obediah stretched his hand out in despair, watching his second in command fall down, deep below. "Hitchcoff!!!!!!!!!"

.

–A few minutes before the Fall–

.

Hitchcoff adjusted his glasses, focusing his attention on the path ahead. Remember, only 2 can safely move across at a time. 3 can definitely move across, but the 3rd person will really be tipping on the edge, so only 2 were allowed to move forward at the same time.

Taking a deep breath, Hitchcoff carried his legs forward, looking up at his surroundings at times, and looking down on his feet at other times. The massive batlike cave, although glowing faint blue from the blue algae on the walls, still brought a certain darkness that made Hitchcoff feel he was engulfed in pure evil… never to be heard of again. When was the last time he felt like this? Hit off was unsure. Ever since he entered the tomb, his breathing began heavier and his palms so sweaty they could dampen his parched throat. The massive hollow space gave a peculiar chill crawling up his spine. Out of habit, Hitchcoff adjusted his glasses again, but soon…

Ahhh!! "What's going on?" the hearts of others tightened Hitchcoff's loud exclamation pierce through the silence, making dart their eyes around the scene maniacally. Obediah threw his head behind him in worry, "What is it?" "Sir… I thought I saw something." Hitchcoff didn't know what he saw, whether it was even real or fictitious. One moment he saw a pair of green eyes and a creepy unnatural smile coming from the edge below that made his scalp feel numb. But just in a blink of an eye, the place he looked at earlier, had no such thing: 'Are my eyes deceiving me?'

Several others looked at Hitchcoff in disgust. "I thought he was a strong man. But who knew he was a little girl, screaming at everything that passes by?" "Tsk… what a disgrace to his country. Look at us… Do you see any of us screaming?" "Hahahahaha~... It seems that Britannia is only good for stealing artifacts and taking them to their museums." "How shameful!" (~0~)

Obediah clenched his fists, when listening to others talk ill of his men and his country. Hitchcoff was one of the bravest and dedicated soldiers he knew. How dare they open their gutters they called mouths to talk smack about him? "Sir, let it go," Hitchcoff quickly suggested, knowing his leader all too well. "Sir, we have better things to worry about. After all, it's best it was a false alarm, rather than something true." "Indeed," Obediah agreed with that. But a second later, his face changed, losing all color. Not just him, but everyone else's..

Craaaaahhhhh~

A sharp ear-shattering cry echoed from below cashing many to place their hands on their ears, feeling their eardrums about to pop. But their ears weren't the only things bombarded with attacks. "M-m-m-mon… Ahhhh!!!" This time, everyone yelled at the top of their lungs, opening their mouths so wide their lungs trembled at an uncanny rate that seemed beyond their usual capabilities. What their eyes saw, their mouths couldn't describe, and their brains… their brains couldn't comprehend. Ugly bat-like creatures with rotting flesh, sharp fangs, green eyes, mouths that stretched to their ears, and rattle snake-like bottoms!

Ugly! Ugly!... Blugh!~

"What is that? Help!... (Blugh)... Help!" "No! No! I can't die here. I am one of the greatest biologists of the era! My wealth, my fortune… impossible!"

"Bastards! It's all your fault! Are you happy now? Are you happy now that you threw our guns away?"

"You fuck*** bastards better give me back my gun or i'll– Ah!!"

Many fell off the edge with unnaturally stretched out faces, staring at the suspended stony bridges now growing smaller and darker, the longer they fell They say humans show their truest selves in desperate times. Seeing the vicious, bloodthirsty, flying supernatural creatures, some pushed others off the edge to protect themselves, and others instead, tried to defend their comrades. See on the other hand, only defended themselves but never tried pushing or sacrificing others for their safety. Unfortunately for Hit off, the one behind him was the former, a person who didn't hesitate to push him off for his own survival. Obediah turned his head just in time, to see Hit off being pushed off, and his entire body went limp. "Hitchcoff!!!!"

Obediah dropped to his knees, with stretched hands, but he was too late. Hitchcoff had now fallen, and by his side were these creatures who smiled viscously, following those who fell. It seemed they planned to feast on the fallen, leaving those on the stony bridge path alone. They flashed devilish grins of satisfaction to Obediah and the others above, before disappearing into the darkness below.

--Silence–

For a moment, the grown men who always believed in science, didn't know what to make of the whole ordeal. Plop!~

Everyone, without exception, dropped to their knees and butts, with their chests rising and falling heavily, and eyes focused above. Some without even knowing it, now huddled together with bubbling emotions underneath their trembling shells. "Biologists… what were those?" The biologists in the group, including Bohania, couldn't only open and close their mouths, saying nothing. Hello? Does it look like know what the hell these things were?

Cant you see that they too were dumbfounded too?
