NOVEL WEB Chapter 20: Safe
Pad and Schmorge suddenly hear a pair of footsteps. They look at each other and then proceed to hide in their respective barrels again. The footsteps got closer until they reach where Pad and Schmorge are hiding.
Volk: What do you think is in here, Taiga?
Taiga: idk
Taiga: we should be careful
Pad pops out of his hiding spot.
Volk: Pad!
Pad: taiga, volk is that you 
Taiga: Pad!
Volk: It's us.
Schmorge stepped out of his hiding spot.
Pad: is sapph safe
Schmorge: Anyway, I heard a puzzle box click as I was moving that table, can y'all help me move it further?
Volk: Wait why?
Volk: What is this wall?
Volk: What's wrong with it?
Schmorge: It's poisoned. My planks just dissolve in it.
Taiga: ok
Volk: Wait.
Volk: Step back everyone.
Schmorge: oh no.
Volk: I wanna try something.
Schmorge: oh no.
Pad: 
Everyone steps back to give Volk his space.
Volk: "LIGHTNING STRIKE!"
The poisoned wall crumbles right in front of everyone's eyes.
Schmorge: The fuck?
Schmorge: also, that was very loud.
The group heard a couple of more footsteps and a whole bunch of screaming from above them.
Volk: Taiga! Use your new spell!
Taiga: ok
Volk grabs Ariya and Taiga prepares his new spell.
Taiga: "BLIZZARD!"
Pad: new spell?
Ariya: Where are we going?
Schmorge: what did i miss?
Volk: Let's run!!!
All of the guards were shouting but couldn't move their legs because Taiga had frozen them in place.
Pad: 
Schmorge: Blizzard? Fuck that spell.
Taiga: Run
Taiga: I have too little mana right now to do anything so we can't take up on an engagement rn.
The group runs upstairs and then upstairs again.
Ariya: WAIT WHY ARE WE GOING UP?
Schmorge: I have no idea. Ask Volk.
Volk: This is where we came from.
The group pours out of the mansion onto the balcony. All of the guards are frozen outside except for one guard. That one guard is right next to where Taiga and Volk hid Sapph.
Volk: Fuck!
Pad: woah taiga froze them all
Taiga: Schmorge get him!
Taiga points at the guard near Sapph.
Taiga: You're faster than all of us.
Pad: "FIREBALL"
The guard turns around to face all of us on the balcony.
Schmorge jumps off of the balcony and rushes towards the guard.
Volk: "FIREBALL"
The guard gets hit with flames, but it didn't do much damage. It did block his vision so when Schmorge tackled him, he couldn't see it coming. The guard gets knocked out and Schmorge grabs Sapphy. The group runs away from the mansion area.
Taiga: ah damn how much mana do i have left?
Taiga: damn not enough for a fireball
Pad:
Taiga: actually i dont recall if that's enough.
Pad: just run 
Volk: Hey! Schmorge!
Schmorge: WHAT?
Volk: STOP BY THE GUILD HALL!
Schmorge: GOT IT!
Taiga: I wonder how long can he run like that.
Volk: hmmm.
Pad: are we finally safe 
The group enters the guild hall at different times. Everyone is panting hard.
Taiga: phew
Pad: did we make it
Sapphire: 
Pad: that was some intense training
Volk: oofed
Pad: sapphy, good to have you back 
Sapphire: 
Volk: That was hard.
Schmorge collapses onto the floor of the guild hall.
Taiga: ah I'm tired.
Taiga slumps against the wall, wiping his sweat from his forehead.
Volk: I have enough money to go stay at the inn next door.
Schmorge (speaking while panting): Any ... body ... got ... a ... knife?
Taiga: I have sapph's sword on me that i was meaning to give back
Taiga: does that help?
Schmorge: Please ... peel ... my .... pineapple
Sapphire: i had a sword
Sapphire: 
Schmorge pulls a pineapple from his inventory.
Ariya: You left the sword and shield at the hole.
Ariya: Where Pad was.
Sapphire: 
Taiga: I actually got it on me.
Pad: the hole
Schmorge: I would ... like some ... food.
Diane: Wow. What do we have here?
Taiga cuts schmorge's pineapple with Sapph's sword.
Ariya: Diane?
Pad: diane?
Taiga cleans the sword once he gives the pineapple back to schmorge and gives it to Sapph.
Diane: 'Sup.
Taiga: I believe this is yours, sapph.
Schmorge starts eating the small cubes of pineapples.
Sapphire: 
Ariya: Why are you here, Diane?
Ariya: Aren't you suppose to be in Norhus?
Taiga: Sapph do you not want your sword?
Diane: Norhus was too cold for me.
Sapphire: no, no
Volk: I like how everyone just ignores me.
Sapphire: i want it
Sapphire: I just feel stupid
Sapphire: 
Volk: Whatever. I guess we sleeping in the guild hall.
Pad: sapphu big smart
Taiga: no you're worth it
Ariya: I see.
Taiga: I should get back to training later
Diane: What about P-Lonsk? Why aren't you there right now?
Ariya: That's because.
Schmorge finishes the pineapple and passes out on the floor of the guild hall.
Ariya: A very long story.
Ariya: I'll take you cuties home tomorrow.
Taiga: ok
Pad passes out on the floor cuddling Taiga.
Sapphire: ah... that's right...
Sapphire: Regulus Corneas totally owns this town
Sapphire: 
Taiga (sleepy): something wrong about that?
Sapphire: 
Sapphire: y e s
Taiga: ok I'll stay up a bit longer if you need
Sapphire: also if you guys find any pink crystals around here please pick them up
Sapphire: 
Volk: um. ok?
Taiga: Diane how do I get back to my trainer?
Diane: Didn't Ariya said she'd take you back tomorrow?
Diane: Ariya just went to bed.
Taiga: oh ok
Taiga: thanks for the heads up.
Taiga: what is my level right now?
Taiga: is it still level 1?
Taiga: Or has it changed after the raid?
Diane: Can you please just go to sleep so I can as well?
