『 📖 』- Exploring a New World

It has been so long since everything changed, I can't recognize my home, everything is so dusty and broken, is strange to wake up after the last show I did, the show marked the peak of my life, where I was crown as the king

but it was too long, it was just a show, a performance, nothing real to make just humans smile, now everything is gone with them, but I'm still here, is something I still have time to process, I even think sometimes, it was good after all she wakes me up? after all...what am I going to do now? in an empty world where I can't make people smile with makeup fantasy stories, who am I supposed to do my purpose?

It....hard to just deal with just us and the monster this world created from all the radiation and chaos made after humans gone into existence, what else do we have to do now? what we should do now we dont have someone who could guide us?

Yet, even though I so scared to go outside, leave the place I have a good memory of, where I did all my performances and showed once humans smiled, I had to leave this place, no forever, it's my home after all, but I can't just continue to rot as I did when I slept for so much time, I take once more my sword, it just a silly cardboard sword made for the shows, yet it brings me security even if was not work it for a fight, it gives me always the strength to do stuff I cant

Outside, it was just shocking, the city once I knew it was just gone, buried under earth and plants, unrecognized, just a few buildings were still instant or half buried to the ground, not that all, do monsters and mystical creatures once I tell in my shows now they real, I dont know if even feel fascinated or scared, is like living in an odd vivid dream, is how humans feel that way?

Exploring everything is like if I wake up in a new world, a new place, not even feeling is earth, it is just nature and nature and more plants, just find a few human stuff like cars, some rot clothes just it, just a few objects there and surely most of the rest just buried underground talked by natured

no only that, but avoiding the monster now rules the earth, as 3UUN1 has said to me, most of these monsters are hostile and territorial, so is best for me to just avoid them, the least I want is chaos and conflict or some sort of problem...

even I explore enough, enough higher to see the world as chance, I still can't believe it? I do not know if I ever could process the changes, or accept the fact everything I know is just gone, I just continue to look at the world from this high place, seeing how the sun started to hide away to greet the night, in this orange colors

Suddenly an explosion I could hear nearby took me out of my distraction, I didn't know if I should go closer to the explosion sound, but I decided to go, scared and making sure not to make a sound and go as slowly as possible to not be noticed, my surprised was when I noticed it was a strange small little blue creature, who was just using electronic materials to created these explosions, it seems the creature likes how the explosions looks

I was very curious about this creature, is very different from all the monsters I have seen before, it seems well friendly enough! maybe I could interact with him "Uh..hello?" I say trying to get the little creature's attention, but it seems my unexpected appearance makes the little one scared, "ahh!!" this one screams, like a baby scream and this one starts to run away, "h-hey! Wait!" I started to follow the little one, even was more faster than me

I dont know why I start to follow him, maybe to apologize him? but surely I just scared him more, or just very deep in me was looking for answers about the world, either way or answer, I could not stop following him, "Wait! I'm so sorry! I didn't want to scare you! please come back!" I say, the little one seems to understand my words, that's good! seems to know how to communicate, sadly my happiness goes away when we slowly stop running, and the ground under us starts to fall, causing us to fall into the deep of the ground

Finally, when the fall was over, I was a little hurt on the ground, but nothing serious, I looked up to see the hole send us down here, it seemed it was a sinkhole all along, and we triggered it to finally make it fall down, I slowly start to go up, cleaning myself of the dust and earth over me, I look around to see where I was now, and the view was beautiful

it was a Cave, a very big one and open to walk, it has spikes everywhere, some very big, and some rocks as work to maintain the ceiling, not all, it have a lot of gemstones of blue and green colors where glow all over the cave giving enough light to move around, a show of view, it has berry too? I look closer, looks more like peaches but it glows too? Glowpeaches as I named it, it was just amazed I was out of words

soon, reality called me back, I was too distracted by the beauty of the cave I forgot about the little one, luckily I found him moving around the cave, he as well is impressed by the beauty of the cave and it seems not hurt by the fall, exploring and going closer of the gemstones, "wait little one, careful!!" I say as I get closer to the little one, fast but still not that fast to not scare him again, even if this place was pretty, I didn't know if this place had monsters as well

Even the little one looked at me confused, things soon got worse, the cave was shaken, making some of the spike rocks shake dangerously as well, I was scared, thinking what could be causing this, it was an earthquake? but my questions were soon answered as soon an earthworm came out, it was huge, and it was monstrous, mouth full of teeth

the little one screamed, it was the closes one from the Earthworm and this one intention was clear, it wanted to eat the little one, I didn't know what to do, I had never afront a monster, not even this huge, but I had to safe the little one, even all my life I save a princess and village people of my shows, this is real life, and the little one needs me now

I rush in time, taking the little one in my hands and saving in time before the Earthworm could eat him and start to run out of the cave, I didn't know how to find an exit but at least get away from the monster and hide from it could give us time to keep us safe and to make a plan to find a way out, the thing I didn't expect, the monster was more faster if go under the ground, I knew I didn't have many options to do, and I have to keep my footsteps careful, one bad step, and both could eat alive!

even was so scared, I look the little one, who was more scared, crying and hiding his face on my chest plate, surely just wishing it was just a horrible nightmare, I knew I could just continue to run forever, eventually, this could make our death, I have to fight

I stopped my steps, and took my sword, which was made of cardboard, I know it is not the best I could use but it can give me some time, as the Earthworm appeared again to try to eat us, I threw my sword at the monster mouth, noticing it cause it very discomfort to it as it was not material and object it eat before 

I started to think of finding a way to make the monster run away or kill it, soon I realized, the cave! that's it!, the cave was so full of spikes, and the big rocks were maintained in the ceiling, which could create a way to make the rocks on the ceiling fall, it was a risky idea, if things went to far away causing the ceiling fall too, but it was my best shot

I go close to one of the big rocks and put in position, "HEY BAD GUY!" I yell at the Earthworm, I try to to think it was just a performance for one of my shows, to keep me on my feet and give me the bravery to continue to do this, the monster moves his head in my direction, "COME AT ME IF YOU BRAVE ENOUGH TO FACE ME!" I say, trying to provoke the Earthworm

The Earthworm soon moved at me, hitting against the rock was holding the ceiling with his body, it was surprised more stronger than I anticipated which was good, I was not interested in breaking that rock, but rather causing all the hits shake the spikes are on the ceiling to make it fall, it was like that, over and over again, provoke the monster and hitting the rock each time, it was not easy, each time the monster was more faster and was so close to actually eat us, but I could not stop now

luckily one last provoking made the Earthworm hit the rock one last time, this time was bigger than the last time, shaking hard the spikes and making it fall, I soon ran away from the area to avoid the spikes hitting us, as for the Earthworm, all the spikes go on him, stabbing him one by one with the speed of the falling, it was hard to see due all the dust was causing it and the screaming, until was just full of dust

it takes some time to the dust finally go away and let us see what happened to the Earthworm, it was there in place on the floor, the spikes were very visible it really stabbed the monster but yet, it was enough. its actually death? it was finally over? I was so scared to even try to go closer and touch it, I dint want to take the risk to figure it out

I try my best the little one would not see this horrible view, still the little one figured out a way to remove my hand from his face and see it, I was expecting the little one to be disgusted and scared of such a view, but was more shocked, and celebrating, possibly dint know or dont know the heavy of what happens to the worm as how was acting like a little child or baby, but it dint matter, I glad the little one was safe and now happy, mostly could not affect him

I sighed in relief, it was over at it seemed, and we were safe! I do a nervous laugh as the little one continued to celebrate at me of what I did, it saw me like a hero, i miss that feeling, and now it is more real than ever, even though we know was safe I decided to now take the chance to leave the cave, we dint know if was more Earthworms could arrive or more monster are more dangerous from that one, I dint want to risk to put us again in more danger, plus I really have enough adrenaline for today
