in the quiet space with the light of the burning torch fire was calm...
in front of my current gaze, the sitting nico began to put on a frustrated face while holding her hair on her head with one hand.she looked brooding and occasionally bowed her head down..
" uhuk uhuk ! " not far from me. Marissa's voice made a dry cough while keeping a faint clara nearby..
it was a sign that he was dehydrated.
can't go on like this if we don't find water as soon as I'm sure one by one they'll fall.
myself included..
" where are you going, vinn ?? " ask Rara to me who is standing up from my seat..
" i'm going to go "I replied while looking into those tired-looking eyes
" uhuk.huk "marisa who heard the sound of rara looking at me as if she wanted to say something. but she seemed to have been at the end of her limit. her cough was getting dry and did not want to stop.. " vi. uhuk.huk "
at a time like this they are not likely to continue the journey anymore.Even to hold their heads up they will not be able to..
if I don't dare to take the risk, it'll all be over..
" ohh. finally arrived in a situation like this" said Nico with a sad face and resignedly lowered his gaze again after seeing me stand
" don't think strangely.I don't mean to let you die here.I'll come back. Stay here and take care of the others." I said walking while giving the sword and its sheath to nico.
" i. this ?? "
" no need to talk any more. I'll go to find water or a way out of here. meanwhile take care of them "
the monsters around this room have been cleaned.if there is, it is likely only one or two. I'm sure nico will still be able to deal with it with the sword I gave him.
" if you want to go to find it. Why not keep the sword with you bro ?? " ask nico who refuses to take the sword from my hand
" there's no time to argue. Hold this, or I'll beat you up ! " i said I was looking coldly at Nico
" o. okay bro "
" v..vinn ?? "
" ssttt. calm down ra. "
" ta.but.. "
" i must have come back" I stroked Rara's head with a smile that began to feel heavy because my lips had dried up
" promise ?? " with a sad look of face, Rara stretched out her little finger in front of me
this is a little promise that is often made in sad dramas, which I know most of those who make this promise will end in separation or death..
" umm. promise. "my answer stretched out my little finger..
" umm ?? why did you add your ring finger over it ?? " tanya rara to me who stretched out her little finger along with my ring finger
" this is to make sure. "
" certain ?? "
" yes. making sure that I will live" I said by forcing dry lips to smile.
" ummm. " answered Rara with a sad smile in front of me "make sure you're okay okay "
although I'm glad he showed his cheerful face, but there's a heavy feeling here..
" umm. sure.. "
will it stay alive, right ? I myself am not so sure..
" bro are you sure you left this sword with me ?? " ask nico once again reassuring me "then how will you face danger later ?? "
" just relax, I still have a sharp dagger to deal with those monsters.. "
" but. "
" stop putting on that expression. do you think I'll die easily ?? "
" yes.. "
" okay bro.. "
" vinn. Remember you promised.. "
" of course "
" uhuk... ! vinn. don't die. " said Marissa with a heavy voice holding back her cough.
" you know I'm Marissa, I'm not going to die.. "
" i went "
looking at their faces one by one, I began to step my feet to find the source of life.
the torch flame light slowly disappeared from my sight.changing into endless darkness..
with a strange feeling lodged in my chest after leaving them, I walked alone in silence.
I began to move my right hand to press the light button on the watch in my left hand to illuminate the passageway I was about to walk through..
the button on this watch must remain on the press to emit light, even with a minimal illumination range.
I'll fight in the dark if any monsters come near.
if I had known something like this, I would have brought two torches to light us up.
it had happened, and there was no way I was carrying our only torch.it would be dangerous for them.
I think they will be late to realize that, and start worrying about me walking in the dark without any lights.Among them only Clara who remains calm in difficult conditions and is able to observe the surroundings well.
" haahh .. "hold your breath. This will be very tiring..
this was indeed a reckless action. Under these circumstances, one had to be completely reckless to stay alive..
waiting and expecting a miracle to come ? believe before the miracle comes. Death will pick up first.
" it's too quiet here. and I haven't found the other hallway. Have I been at the end ?? "
" uh ?? " in the midst of the darkness, suddenly the jade necklace I was wearing began to light up and opened his eyes..
seen how many times the eyes on this necklace really bleak.
" huh ?? "
this blood red necklace reacted again, floating like it was in the wind and pulling me in a deeper direction
a strange feeling began to come over me from behind. no wind was blowing, but I felt something rubbing my neck from behind
I feel like I'm goosebumps right now..
it was like something was watching me. I could feel its vibration from the floor I was stepping on..
it's like something big.. ??
the situation is sobering let alone this. I can't check it with this minimal range of illumination..
my instincts started to flare, and I wanted to lift my legs and run away as fast as I could..
mentally strengthen ! consider it just your feeling..
" haahh. "yes, like this is better..
" huh what is that.. ?? "
looks like I heard the sound of water droplets around here..
in that dark place I suppressed the nervousness in me, and began to step foot while still focusing on listening to where the sound of water droplets was.
I don't know whether this is a coincidence or indeed this jade necklace is showing the direction the water droplets sound is located..
the floor I stepped on now felt even rougher, like I was stepping my foot in a cave..
" water ?? "
