Session 6: Aquaveil Attacked

by Yunseul Starflower

Now that the challenge is finished, I...want to make sure Mary is still okay.
I feel like I left her rather abruptly.
She's gone home, but her light is on, so I'll stop by to see how she's doing.
 
*Oh no she doesn't recognize me. I need to explain myself.*
 
Now that that's cleared up....
I'm letting her know about our adventures. I can show her actually....
 
She seemed to have really enjoyed that.
I think I have eased her loneliness for just a bit.
That makes me very relieved....
 
Something is off.
I can sense it.
But I don't see anything.
Wait...
Where did Mary go?
Her cup is spilled. Her shoe is by the back door.
I have a bad feeling....
 
*Bad feeling justified.*
 
This fire squid is attacking this peaceful island?
We won't stand for it.
We *really* won't stand for it.
Everyone has a stake in this. The people of this island deserve safety and security.
Crap it grabbed me. Well, that's okay. The others have it.
 
Thanks for catching me, Lee.
 
The people are safe.
It's called a Grumingüar.
They're telling us this creature hasn't been seen in centuries. It's rare and it doesn't reproduce.
 
...Did we..go too hard? It deserved that, right? I mean, it was a rampaging sky beast.... We had to put it down.
Right?
