Chapter 10: End of a Nightmare
Kraaaaaaawwgh!
After Hope had disentangled the ropes of thistles, he turned and ripped away two femur bones, broke off the heads, and placed them on each side of his right forearm.
He tightly secured them with the thistles, wrapping it up like a bundle of wires till he could see no more gaps in between. He did the same process to the rest top of his arm.
Boom!
The etchings on the sealed door pulsed with each impact from the beast. Almost like a ticking time bomb before it would eventually give in. The sound of stone cracking layered and stretched not just on the doors, but on the walls as well.
'Dammit is the whole cavern going to collapse at this point?'
Finally, Hope grabbed a cluster of bloodbane berries with his right hand and another broken femur in his left with its sharp broken tip.
Hope paused as he stood up and glanced down.
'This is a bad idea...'
The prickly stems were tightly twined around his arm down to his palm as if it were in a cast, and his right hand which held the bloodbane berries were stained red. Hope planned for the broken femur in his left hand to serve as a weapon against the beast, but would that be enough?
