Chapter 125

I did not get a sense of dread when coming close or even being on the verge of entering the skull, so I simply did not see any point in being scared anymore.
No matter what this thing was, in the end, it was just a death assemblage stuck in a mountain. I can't hurt me, and neither can I hurt it.
It was then that an idea struck me.
"What if I use bones as weapons!" I exclaimed to myself with excitement visible on my face.
I was like a child that had discovered candy, yet instead of it being candy, I had instead thought of something revolutionary.
My excitement didn't last long, however. The moment I felt the joy sure within me, a sense of grief and guilt overcame me, yet instead of both emotions clashing, I simply felt the joy dissipate while the only emotion left inside me was the feeling of a cold energy swelling in my chest as well as the guilt...
How could I be happy while everyone I knew and loved had died? How could I feel joy when I had been put in such a cold and uncaring world?
As my mood dramatically plummeted, I found myself once again sitting, yet this time I was in a place that I had assumed was safe for me to stay in.
I sat there for hours waiting for something to happen. I didn't know what I was waiting for, but eventually, I found myself having looked at the ground for hours while my hands held my head in place.
At certain points, I would start laughing out of nowhere, while other times I began to cry for minutes or even close to an hour. my emotions were rummaging and causing havoc within my mind. Everything had become a blur including the message that had appeared in front of me.
It was like my mind was purposefully trying to delay me from seeing it. I didn't know why of course, the mind is quite the mystery. However, one thing I knew was that as seconds passed, I was beginning to lose my sanity.
***
3 days before, under the canopy of the forest stood a beautiful woman. Her ears were pointed at their ends, yet unlike the sharp pointy ears of an elf, her ears were a lot more round and gradual.
Vines covered most of her body making it so that the only thing uncovered was her face. Her facial features were round yet sharp in certain places. Her eyes were slightly small compared to what was normal, yet it had only added to her charm, even making her look a little bit 'cuter' in the eyes of many men.
