Journal #3
This is turning into more like a story lol.
I'll keep most of it along the lines of my dreams though.


I was on night shift, the first watch. I watched everyone doze on the soft sand, we had been traveling all day and all night the past two days, and antlions were everywhere. It gets old after a while. The mountainous dunes were perfect for sleeping on. I walked a little ways and then slipped, flying down an underground tunnel, slick from the eroding sand. I hit an underground cavern, rubbing my hit while sitting up.

Where am I?.. ugh, my head..

Then I heard it. AND felt it too, eck. A horrible hissing sound. I wan in an antlion nest. So close to camp? No way. We could be doomed.

Meanwhile: The main Character is Crystal.

*yawn* Time for my shift.. Zack? oh whatever. She stood up and scanned the horizon, it was almost daybreak. She was thinking about what they would eat. There were plenty of rations, but they needed to be cooked. Everyone was up and at 'em already the next hour. But where was zack? A shadow loomed over the team. They were happy for the shade.

Wow! we have some serious luck for a cloud in the desert. Then they all looked up. Not good.

They pointed and immediatly equipped their weapons. She looked up.

Oh. OH. OH. MY. GOD!!

She ran immediatly for her Gunblade. Which was also a shield.

Back at the Nest: Back to Zack

I sat quietly and fumed. I was scared. Very scared. Antlions are easy, but when there are 1 million, and they attack at the same time? Not quite. My eyes finally adjusted to the darkness. And realized I was in the queen chamber. Not good. Good thing they're Blind. But smell is amazing, ten times more powerful than a dog's. But.. I was wearing a special shirt and leggings, leaving no scent.. But they're hearing is even more sensitive. Im not prepared for that one. I stood up and everything was instantly alerted.

Uh.. Hi.. Just uh.. Passing through..

SSSS... They raised their claws. A sign of.. Friendship? I was confused.

WELCOME, HUMAN, YOU ARE BRAVE ENOUGH TO TRAVEL HERE, WE SHALL GIVE YOU NO HARM. IF YOU INSULT US IN ANY WAY, HOWEVER, WE SHALL RIP OFF YOUR LIMBS AND DEVOUR YOUR BODY.

Oh yeah. not hard. Other than I know NOTHING about Antlions. I didnt know they could even talk. I walked on all four limbs, and if they had eyes, Im sure they would stare. I found myself about a mile from camp. With something about as big as the Eiffal tower (spelling?) slaughtering anything in site. I ran. It took me about 5 minutes. When I got there, the camp was burning, and everyone was tired.

'jya miss me?

Crystal: Where wer- nevermind. just help us.

Sounds good. I ran to my burning tent and grapped a hilt. Just a hilt, which happened to be a laser gun too. I shook it, a green blade shimmered out from the sword, and it attached to my arm like a robotic hand. I ran back and simply jumped. HIGH. I climbed along the bird's body limb by limb, and hovered in front of its face. It roared. It was to horrible to describe, reeking of the billions of people it has slaughtered in its life.

Seriously. I threw a tooth brush at it. It cocked its head and screeched. Then I pounded its face in, and it sliced my side with its enourmous beak. It beat me with its wing, and I ran along it and flipped onto its head. I drove my beam sword into its skull to the hilt. My gun folded off and fired 3 Armor piercing bullets into its brain. It didnt die. But it was in so much pain it collapsed. I didnt have the heart to kill it. No matter how much pain it caused. Im not a killer. Unfortunately for me, crystal walkd across its body, to the gaping hole on the center of its head, and drove her rapier deep in. Instant death.

Crystal: Zack, I cant do this anymore. Im turning back. Theres a large village here, And I intend to find it, somewhere in these sands. Goodbye.

And then she was gone.

Next Episode: The Village Under the Water
