Then the door opened slowly, revealing a familiar hand. However, as the hand revealed itself, the hooded man suddenly swung his sword, cutting the monster hand.
As he cut the monster's hand, an eerie scream came from outside, but he suddenly kicked the door slamming it to the monster injuring and throwing the monster across the hallway.
"Gxgtaqpg ngvu fq kv!"[1] he screamed at us to attack.
As the group followed him, I was still in the room, scared out of my wits, but the little girl, seeing my fear and distress, reassured me.
Then, as we got out, I could see the monster; however, the monster was dead and killed by these 5 people.
It had tube-like tentacles on its back however it has little fangs on the hole at the end of it like a scorpion, and it had no head but was replaced by a multitude of mushrooms like the zombies from 'The Last of Us' and had 2 balloon-like things on its body with sharp hands and two eyes on each of its palms.
While in a daze, I was tapped on the shoulder by the Indian looking guy, holding a spear and a knife on his waist with a shield.
"Jga, K vjkpm aqw ujqwnf lwuv iwctf vjg ejknf cpf dcda. Aqw nqqm nkmg c eqyctfna urqkngf dtcv. Cv ngcuv dg wughwn, cv ngcuv dg wughwn, vq vjg itqwr."[2] he angrily said to me.
I could not understand what he was saying, but I saw in his eyes it was full of hostility, like he was blaming me because of our situation.
"What? I do not understand you." I answered him, and he was surprised.
"Jga, iwau, yjcv ncpiwcig ku vjku iwa urgcmkpi cpf yjgtg fkf jg eqog htqo?"[3] he called to the others.
"K fq pqv mpqy, jg nqqmu nkmg htqo vjg uqwvj dwv jg nqqmu uq wina vq dg htqo Ctmgw qt Ygtugn uq ocadg jg'u htqo Ngatq qt Dqtng,"[4] said the dwarf with a Warhammer in hand.
"K fqp'v vjkpm jg'u htqo vjgtg? K fq pqv mpqy cpa enqvjgu nkmg jgtu?"[5] said by an oldman while holding a bow and quiver with a dagger on his waist.
"Yg ujqwnfp'v rca cvvgpvkqp vq jko. Jg'u lwuv cp kfkqv, c ygcm eqyctf. Kv'u wpdgnkgxcdng jqy jg'u uvknn cnkxg vq vjku fca, ocadg jg'u cp jgkt qh qpg qh vjqug nqtfu vjcv lwuv iqv qwvukfg hqt cp cfxgpvwtg dgecwug qh vjgkt pckxgva cpf ycu ecrvwtgf,"[6] said the hooded man.
"What are you talking about? I do not know what you are saying." I said to them,
"Uvqr kv, aqw iwau, yg ujqwnfp'v dg cpita cv gcej qvjgt, yg ujqwnf wpkvg cpf igv qwv qh vjku ukvwcvkqp,"[7] the little girl said, getting all of their attention and silencing everyone in the room.
Without warning, a wolf suddenly slammed the hallway door and bit a young man in the neck, ripping and killing him instantly.
I saw blood come out of the young man's neck. I was terrified.
Because this is the first time I saw a person die in front of me and not on a screen.
I stared into the young man's eyes. I saw emptiness like there's no soul in it.
I was in shock. But I was pulled back to reality by a hand pulling my shirt.
As I saw who it was, it was the little girl carrying the baby.
I snapped out of my trans.
Suddenly, I heard a howl echoing through the hallway.
And saw a fight between 3 people vs a wolf.
As I watched the fight, I noticed a guy behind me who didn't join the fight because of the narrow hallway, but was ready to fight when needed.
Because of this, I held my sword with two hands like in the movies I saw as a child, readying myself to swing when needed but because of my unfamiliarity of holding a sword and killing something I do not have any confidence that I could do it.
Then I could see the hooded man use a throwing knife at the wolf as the wolf dodged with ease. The dwarf surprised the wolf, swinging his axe and decapitating the wolf.
As the wolf finally killed we all had a sigh of relief however, then we heard multiple steps as it got closer we heard a growl.
"Gxgtaqpg, igv tgcfa, kv'u vjg qvjgt yqnxgu!!"[8] Immediately, everyone got ready for what was to come as I followed what they were doing.
Then the door suddenly opened again and 12 wolves came in, but then I noticed the wolf in front leading them was so big as a tiger compared to the other wolves that look like his teenage children.
'Is that a direwolf? I have read on social media that scientists brought back the dire wolf from extinction, so I got curious as to what it was, and it was an extinct species of canine which was native to the Americas during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene epochs (125,000–10,000 years).'
Suddenly an arrow strack the head of one of the wolves killing it in an instant, immediately the dire wolf charged followed by the other wolves.
"Pqy!!"[9] the hooded man shouted, and raised his arm and opened his hand.
"Lehabet Megan!!" Immediately, fire came out, blocking the wolves, making them stop in their tracks.
Then the dwarf swung his Warhammer at the wall, opening it and making an escape for us.
"Ngv'u iq, gxgtaqpg, cpf aqw kfkqv ujqwnf ectta vjg ejknf cpf dcda,"[10] he said to me, but I do not know what he's talking about.
Then everyone got out of the hole.
I was thinking of what he was saying. Then little girl suddenly pulled my shirt and opened one of his arms while carrying the baby and signaling me to carry him.
As I was putting my sword on its sheath.
"Jwtta wr, aqw hqqn, K ecp'v ockpvckp vjg hncog!!"[11] the hooded man shouted at me.
Immediately, I carried the little girl in my arms and ran out of the hole.
As I got out of the hole, I saw that we were in a cave and saw a large pile of bones and dead women on the walls with their stomachs enlarged as if they were pregnant.
'Ohhh F**K! so this is where all the woman was?!'
This upset my stomach, and I almost vomited, but I stopped it. As I watched the pile of corpses, I could see the old man with a bow, who ran and knelt at one of the pregnant girls and cried.
"Yja?! Yja owuv aqw uwhhgt?!"[12] He cried in despair while hugging the pregnant girl in his arms.
"Oa dgcwvkhwn fcwijvgt?!" [13]
'The girl is too young to be his wife. Who might she be? Is that his daughter??'
"K hckngf cu c hcvjgt?!"[14] as i heard the oldman cried and was saying something i do no understand.
'And why are they all pregnant? What are the chances that all women are pregnant?'
"Cpf dtqmg oa rtqokug vq aqwt oqvjgt'u?!"[15]
'Wait, is this like how the reproduction of goblins in 'Goblin Slayer?''
I was terrified with a little bit of hot air in my junior year just to imagine what the woman has experienced.
I was in my world imagining when I heard the old man cry. I came back to reality and felt his despair like air overpowering me as I started to tear up.
"Rwv og fqyp," [16]said the little girl while gesturing to me to put him down.
As I put him down, the little girl walked and comforted the old man.
Then the hooded man came out from the hole and raised his arm.
"Karah!!" and froze the wall, making an ice wall blocking the wolves from following us.
The other 2 walked, trying to find something.
While I was there staring I noticed a dead monster that had it chest open and as I walked closer I could describe it as a black skinned deer however its arms are humanoid with sharp nails with a deer skull on its head as I contemplated what it was and I realized it was a 'Wendigo'.
'What the F**K it's a wendigo. I thought it was only a myth.'
Then I noticed a shiny black orb on its open chest, still attached.
And I unsheath my sword and cut the flesh that is attached to the orb and store it in my pocket.
As I was about to sheathe my sword multiple cracking sound could be heard echoing.
"Gxgtaqpg igv tgcfa, kv'u vjg Cpguvqg."[17] The hooded man shouted and immediately everyone stopped what they were doing even the crying old man and came closer to each other i followed.
And the hooded man stared at me.
"Iq cpf rtqvgev vjg mkf."[18] I still don't understand what he was saying.
"What are you talking about? I do not understand you people." Then he stared at me and gestured to me to protect the little girl with the baby.
'It's been a while. Why is the baby not crying? Is it dead, or does the hooded man do something with that magic of his while staring at the baby held by the little girl?
And the creaking sound got louder.
I also got ready, holding my sword with two hands.
As the monster finally showed up at the end of the cave.
It was the monster that killed by those 4, but this time there are 4 of them however i could see a big red monster just like them but it had 4 balloons like thing on its body and tentacle like tube but this time the tubes had sharp fangs on it like a scorpion.
As I looked closely, I saw that they were dragging a dead monster. As I looked deeply at the dead monster, I was shocked that it was the monster that I had seen on the river.
"Vjcv'u vjg gzkv yg pggf vq rwuj gxgtaqpg cpf rwv qp aqwt ocum,"[19] the hooded man shouted, and put on a mask, and everyone followed.
And he gestured to me to carry the little girl.
As I carried the little girl, we put on masks.
And the hooded man charged, followed by everyone, and I started to run with them.
As the monster notice us charging at them they dropped the monster that they are dragging and sprayed their gas and a mist formed as the monster though we are now asleep and lowered their guard we suddenly showed up through the mist and the hooded man attacked one of the monster with his two sword killing it as we charged at the other the monsters attacked using their tentacle like tube but they chopped the tentacles that got close to us and the oldman drawn back the bowstring and released it striking and injuring the big monster while the dwarf attacked slamming his Warhammer to the side of the big monster.
The Indian man attacked one of the monsters with his spear while blocking one of the tentacles of the other monster.
While standing there watching the show one of the tentacles grabbed my ankle and dragged me and made me lose balance.
As I was about to hit the floor in front of me while carrying the little girl with the baby in her arms, I suddenly rotated without me noticing, like an instinct to prevent the little one from getting hurt.
And was dragged toward one of the monsters.
As I got near the monster, the monster suddenly opened its hidden big mouth.
'No!! I don't want to die here yet, I have many more things I need to do!!'
"Jgnr wu, ngqpku!!"[20] the little girl shouted in despair.
But no one replied.
'Look like we're about to die, might as well save this girl!!'
Suddenly, I threw the little girl, saving him from dying with me.
'Well then, I did have a good life.'
As my eyes flashed before my eyes, remembering every memory I made.
[1] "Everyone lets do it!"
[2] "Hey, I think you should just guard the child and baby. You look like a cowardly spoiled brat. At least be useful, at least be useful, to the group."
[3] "Hey, guys, what language is this guy speaking and where did he come from?"
[4] "I do not know, he looks like from the south but he looks so ugly to be from Arkeu or Wersel so maybe he's from Leyro or Borle,"
[5] "I don't think he's from there? I do not know any clothes like hers?"
[6] "We shouldn't pay attention to him. He's just an idiot, a weak coward. It's unbelievable how he's still alive to this day, maybe he's an heir of one of those lords that just got outside for an adventure because of their naivety and was captured,"
[7] "Stop it, you guys, we shouldn't be angry at each other, we should unite and get out of this situation,"
[8] "Everyone, get ready, it's the other wolves!!"
[9] "Now!!"
[10] "Let's go, everyone, and you idiot should carry the child and baby,"
[11] "Hurry up, you fool, I can't maintain the flame!!"
[12] "Why?! Why must you suffer?!"
[13] "My beautiful daughter?!"
[14] "I failed as a father?!"
[15] "And broke my promise to your mother's?!"
[16] "Put me down,"
[17] "Everyone get ready, it's the Anestoe."
[18] "Go and protect the kid."
[19] "That's the exit we need to push everyone and put on your mask,"
[20] "Help us, leonis!!"
