Chapter 15 - The Endless Nature Of Nature.

"Mr rabbit, after everything we went through together, you abandoned me and left me to suffer, why mr rabbit" Skylar murmured in a soft and pitiful voice, wiping his face with his hands as he acts like he is shedding tears. A theatric he poorly executed.

Look at this cute rabbit, its definitely holding back an expression, trying to act stoic, what a shyrabbit...

He thought as his act gradually come to an end.

Then he paused and then suddenly looked behind him, at the last creature he will be sharing a place with.

The little creature battling with a fruit four times its size ignored the invasive stare the rude creature walking towards it is giving it, as it continues with its business of subduing its treat.

Hmm, its clearly a unicorn, but it has wings and claws instead of hooves, everything about it is pure white except for its golden eye...

Skylar thought as he rudely checked out the snow white creature the size of a kitten at a very close proximity.

He stretched his hand towards the burning mane of the little creature intending to feel its strange texture, but as his hand got closer, the little creature suddenly vanished living behind its stubborn treat and Skylar's hand hanging awkwardly.

(Squeak "It does not like touch.")

The Squeak of a rat which Skylar for some reason understand reached his ears.

"Pretty sis, you can talk?"

He asked with excitement as he skipped towards the golden creature which seemed to be nervous for a reason as revealed by her tightly clenched fist.

He ignored the uneasy state of the golden rat and with his naked body sit close beside her on her sleeping space.

"Sis, how long have you been here?" He asked with his eyes expecting a quick answer as it stared intently at the poor rat.

(Squeak "Huh, ehm, Like about a yarn")

The nervous poor rat with tears in the corner of her eyes answered quickly, her body fidgeting.

Hmm what's a yarn...

Skylar thought with confusion coloring his face.

"Pretty sis, you see i am not a bad guy and i just want to ask you few questions, so..., will you calm down"

He said as he squeezed closer to the poor rat taller than him with his hands holding and petting the furs on her waist.

At the same time, his rude and domineering action received a glare from his partner, mr rabbit. And also the little unicorn who has returned reacted as it is now looking at him thoughtfully and expressionessly.

Wow his hands are warm and it feels good...

The bullied rat thought as its look of nervousness starts to shift involuntarily to a look of euphoria.

"So pretty sis, can you tell me about this place"

Skylar with a sly smile asked the poor creature he was able to befriend forcefully.

And the poor creature then excitedly proceed to tell him the few things she know about the wolf's lair and its management in the hand of the green serpent.

I get it now, this place never belonged to the wolf, they only occupied it and have been using it for their dirty activities, but, how about that green serpent, for some reason i feel she

knows a lot more than normal, is she an administrator or something, and what does she even want from me, escaping this place wouldn't be easy at all, i will have to overcome the wolfs and that serpent at the same time, and i can't even log out for some reason..., hmm, that thing is blinking...

Skylar looked up at the enormous flower at the center of the room on the ceiling which happens to be the room's main source of illumination and what interrupted his contemplation as it blinked steadily.

"Pretty sis, why is that?"

Skylar asked as he pointed at the blinking flower above the pool which also made the illumination of the room blinked alongside it as it is its source.

(Squeak "Its an alarm")

She responded, completely unbothered.

"Alarm for what?"

Skylar asked again.

(Squeak "Its alarm for dinner")

While she responded as she turned her head at the door, looking at it.

"Oh, i see, so are we..."

The sight of the outline of the door slowly revealing a gap interrupted Skylar's follow up question.

And after the unusual door opened, the figure of a gaint white snake waiting in front of it became visible to the group.

What's going on, wait, why are they looking at me like that and why is the snake coming inside without carrying anything...

Skylar thought with a puzzled expression at his roommates stare and at the snake's weird action

One of the manager's direct assistant, why are they here, is it because of him... is he like the little guy... everything going on here has been strange lately...

At the same time the golden rat staring at skylar with a look of admiration thought.

Moments later Skylar's confusion about the snake's goal was cleared when the glowing vines sticking to the wall parted as she approached them and as the outline of another door directly opposite to the one she came through was revealed.

So that's what's going on...

Skylar thought as he followed his roommates through the new door that the white snake opened.

Lord is become increasingly more attractive and delicious, ah, i can't wait, i want to stick to them, i want to lick them, i want to swallow...

***

The space at the other side of the door Skylar and company entered happens to be a very huge dining hall, a hall large enough to fit a hundred football stadiums or probably more.

"So high!"

Skylar carefully examining the new environment exclaimed as he raised his head to the ceiling as high as the top of a skyscraper.

Lord is just so sweet and cute...

(Squeak "Mr, please lower your voice")

the whisper of the golden rat reached Skylar ear the same time the door behind them closed with a sound which took the attention of the crowd of

creatures staring at Skylar with different looks and expression, with majority of them being hostility.

Also mr Rabbit glared at him while the little unicorn like usual vanished.

Hmm, are we not suppose to say anything here...

After seeing this he thought as he stared back fearlessly at the diverse creatures of endless variety present in the hall that stared at him.

Skylar's company seeing this dragged him away from the center of the hall's attention with urgency.

...

There a lot of fantasy creature in this place, and most of them are very tall and big, maybe that will explain why this building is of epic proportions... Skylar thought as he took his seat along his company in front of a very big platform mimicking a long dining table that went from one end of the hall to the other with gaps at intervals which serves as passage through it.

This place reeks of opulence of the

highest degree, just look at the table and plates, they are clearly made from precious stone definitely superior to gold and diamond, and look at those big and beautiful glowing flowers hanging on the ceiling, they look just like a crazy expensive chandelier... maybe i should just stay here forever... hmm, no will do...

He thought again as he took in and digest the overwhelming beauty and glory of the fantastical dinning hall.

"Pretty sis, what's up with this place exactly"

Skylar asked as he scrutinized a red vegetable in a golden plate before him.

(Squeak "This is one of the four dining hall in our block...")

The golden rat replied with squeak which like usual Skylar understand for a reason.

"Wait four, there are four of this?"

Skylar asked with an expression of surprise as he cut short the golden rat's reply.

(Squeak "A lot more than four")

The golden rat replied him again squeaking, her attention on the delicious looking vegetable she is putting on her plate.

(Squeak "In the middle wall there are actually 9000 floors, each floor having 3000 blocks and a block having four sections, this is our section's dining hall...")

And she continued after filling her plate.

"Fu.k!"

Skylar exclaimed loudly, his brain overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the lair and his noisy shout almost gained him another round of staring audience.

After his shout, mr rabbit at the other end, opposite him, glared at him and the little unicorn feasting on something that look like a giant pea also gave him a brief questioning look instead of vanishing like usual.

(Squeak "Please lower your voice sir")

The golden rat urged him with a whispering squeak.

What are they scared of exactly... Skylar wondered as he scanned the hall and its content again.

"Don't call me sir, you can call me sky" After his act and unapologetic about his action, he instructed the golden rat matter-of-factly.

(Squeak "Okay") "Shkaii"

And the golden rat stuttered and her face blush seriously while trying to pronounce his name.

Can't she pronounce it...

Skylar wondered while mr Rabbit glared once again at him for some unknown reason.

"What about that place behind"

He ignored the stare and then asked about the place behind a curtain that bisect the hall's width at the center.

(Squeak "Ehm, that's for the arena champions in our section")

The golden rat replied him with a squeak.

"Who are the arena champion?"

And he asked again.

(squeak "Those that killed in the previous arena battle")

And she replied him with a softer and quieter voice, and a downcast expression.

Oh, i see why the cowards here are very quiet and firecely demanded my silence earlier... they are clearly scared of those in the inner room and don't want to be targeted... very interesting and funny...

Skylar thought as he dragged a large green delicious looking leaf to his plate.

"So why are we not giving meats like the champions"

He asked after sensing the familiar smell coming from the champion's quarter.

(Squek "Its the arena's rule, someone can only eat the meat of the creature they kill in the arena.")

And the golden rat responded after she raised her head to look at the place.

But there is an exception though...

And so she thought.

"Oh, i see. That means to be given a special treatment you have to stand out in the arena by killing others. What a cunny move."

And so Skylar concluded.

("Sky, the arena has a lot of rules, so maybe when we return i can tell you...")

And then the golden rat fidgeting nervously suggested in a very small voice as she lowered her head.

Why does she act like that sometimes though...

Skylar thought, wondering.
