Leaving the black market ch36
Just looking around he decided to take a look around the shops afterall he had no idea as to just he was going to actually leave the black market since his ride basically left him alone here. The traveller I mean. Looking throughout the black markets and walking around he noticed an apple stand with plenty of apples. Some red some orange green or even blue coming from other continents it seemed like." Pick an apple any apple taste it and see what it does." Said the apple seller a small old man with a hunched over back sunglasses and a big nose a sort of creepy looking fella.
He decided to just take a bite out of the blue apple and well. Nothing happened. So he just kept walking and went to the back alleyways to try and find the traveller just then he saw one as he nearly disappeared." Hey I need your help!!!!" Shouted Krow as he ran closer to the traveller dodging the homeless and multiple puddles and the ground full of mud. He eventually arrived to the traveller." What do you need young one?" Said the traveller." Honestly man I just need to get out of here" said Krow to the traveller." Alright follow me said the traveller as he took Krow through multiple alleys and even through some of the middle part of the city the most busy part full of people trying to make money from you.
Just then he started to feel a little different he noticed everything was moving in ways he wouldn't expect it too. Everything started to spin and seem weirder and weirder. Things altered his view of perception became un reliable it seemed like."alright we're here go down this sewer system go up the ladder and you'll be in the sewer system. Here is your torch as well do not drop it no matter what you do. You do not want the sewer creatures after you." Said the traveller trying to offer him some final words of wisdom clearly. Though it was clear that Krow had not fully understood what the traveler was saying anymore since he could barely be said to understand the words he was saying.
Everything in his peripheral spinning. He went up the ladder with the torch. His body basically limping as he got up in the sewer system and kept walking with the torch in his right hand. He could barely walk straight let alone actually try and keep walking the right path. Several times borderline going the wrong way. He eventually dropped the torch though. Oh fuck was the only words he could even think at all though. His mind completely fried from a simple apple it felt like he was tripping on drugs. Suddenly he started hearing screeching behind him and like dogs loudly barking at him swearing he could hear multiple voices in his ear though he could not tell wich was wich he just decided to keep running.
The most obvious choice and definitely the best one. He kept running and running trying not to hear the sounds behind him that it felt like if he got caught he might not survive to another day.all these strange sounds around him and even feeling the warmth of another hand on him it was slimy and felt raw. He kept ignoring it now fully waking up out of his borderline drug induced coma his feet would not stop he could not stop. He kept running and running eventually he saw it a tall red ladder. He had to get up this ladder before whatever was chasing after him could get to him although he could see the red ladder it didn't change the fact that just seeing in this sewer system with no light was still almost impossible.
He kept going eventually reaching to the ladder grabbing ahold and jumping and quickly rushing up the ladder just to see whatever was chasing after him eventually ran off it had no eyes a huge black gooey creature with several mouths and multiple ears a clear abomination perhaps the work of magicians. He realized the reason travelers give the torches is so that the creature wouldn't go after you it was probably scared of the fire. Relief hit his chest as he opened the sewer lid he was officially out of the underground city and could smell the city above the smell of hotdogs and tire marks and he was glad.
