'Ah, I guess this is how you beco worthy of food,' Evin chuckled. 'But why are there so many items? … Oh, it's probably because this place is intended for multiple students to conquer. By this logic, the Tunnels should've been originally designed to be conquered by a group of five.'
Feeling glad that he breezed through a task ant for many, Evin inspected his other loot. The piece of tal, though, was a much more important discovery. If Evin was correct, this was one half of a key. Seeing this, Evin beca sure that one of the three other doors possessed the other half of the key in it.
Now that he understood how the Tunnels worked, he quickly got to work. He found his way out of the 3rd door and appeared in the room with the four doors. This ti though, he walked through the 1st door.
The door led him further downstairs, and Evin soon realized that each door had different things waiting for him behind them. As Evin was getting a bit tired of walking aimlessly through a maze, this was a nice surprise to him. He appeared in an open area, with the only a short, tal-barred gate on the other side. Evin peeked through the bars, but only saw a relatively small, empty space with a very short ceiling behind it.
As Evin was wondering what all this was about, he heard a panicked squeak from sowhere, and before he could register what was happening, a huge rat fell from above behind the tal bars. Startled out of his mind, Evin stumbled onto his back while barely containing a shriek.
"The fuc-" he began a curse, but couldn't quite finish it, as his vision darkened and he felt sothing furry jumping onto his face. He felt its panicked claws clutching at his chest and neck, and then he felt sothing sharp sinking into his cheek. Panicked and feared, Evin grabbed at the rat while howling in pain and barely managed to pull the mad creature off his face. Irrational anger took over his mind as he slamd the rat down and then kicked it across the room with all his might.
The rat shrieked angrily and was about to rush at Evin again, but a bullet of compressed air hit it in the eyes and imdiately killed it. He looked towards the small space and noticed that the tal barred gate was gone.
"Do-" Evin opened his mouth to scream at the Voice inside to kill the rat faster, but an unnatural force took hold of his mouth and shut it.
Evin raged.
the Voice ordered.
Evin didn't wish to argue with it anymore and obediently did as asked. The Voice created a sizeable amount of water with the energy and used it to quickly rinse Evin's neck and face. Then, it directed a large bit of the water towards his cheek and froze the wound. A stinging pain ca over Evin's head, which woke him up from his woozy state.
the Voice replied calmly. Evin decided.
