Chapter 16: Ants on a Log
Upon reaching the 2nd Floor, William Oh set about asserting his dominance on the local wildlife. Like a fairy tale princess, the local animals bent over backwards to cater to his every whim. The Rocs granted him their down to guard against the cold, the Kaith built him bridges so that he could survey his new domain.
Those disgusting Barnacle-looking things…stayed in their shells.
Yep, just like a fairy tale princess, all it took to get the local animals to fall in line was a light beating followed by a sound cussing. William Oh’s threats could make a veteran Climber’s heart explode in his chest.

A world of sun, stone and clouds flashed around him as he felt his heels begin to scrape against the ground, drawn further off the cliff by his sheer momentum.
Panic springing forth in his guts, Will rocked his foot forward and dug his heels into the stone while his hand flung out, seeking purchase on anything he could find.
His hand seized on something with leaves, while his heels found miraculous purchase on the edge of the cliff, Aspect of The Goat exaggerating the footing and saving him from a sheer drop.
Will was, however, dangling upside down from a cliff face, with his back to the cliff, looking out and down at the miles of empty air below him.
