Chapter 193: IMP OR GOBLIN
Aristia hesitated for a bit before walking into the cave, fully alert. The cave was dim with the major source of light coming from the entrance.
It was a bit cold and dark but Aristia could see crystal stalactites* and stalagmites* in the cave’s roof and on the ground. The ground was slightly damp.
She walked for what she felt was a few minutes before she became frustrated. "Just where am I supposed to find Millie? How am I supposed to break those stupid chains?" She yelled, the sound echoing slightly.
All of a sudden, the cave rumbled.
"What was that?!" Aristia asked alarmed. Her eyes darted left and right.
The sound stopped as if it was never there. Everything went back to normal.
But suddenly, something seemed to fall from the sky... or at least the cave’s roof. It landed a few steps in front of her, a bit of dust floating up.
Aristia took a step back, watching with caution.
The creature stood up slowly. It was very strange. It had a slightly round body. It had shoulder length brow hair and long pointy ears that didn’t quite resemble that of an elf as its ears were rounder and not as pointy. Its eyes that were round. It wore a green shirt and brown trousers and his shoes curled upwards at the tips.
Aristia kept staring at his feet. Those were really funny shoes. Slowly, her eyes went back to his face.
The creature leaned its head side to side and continued to stare at her. Initially, it looked startled as if it didn’t know what she was doing here, but then it bared its teeth, clearly trying to look scary and intimidating, but it failed miserably.
