Escape from Hell, Eggy Edition!: Ch. 3

Cool

This is good

After Chapter 2...

Calais and Blobbi were mastering the fighting skills together throughout the fields and flatlands of the underworld, and making great progress through their journey. They had stopped and set up camp to rest, and had a fire going.

"Pretty good going so far!" Blobbi exclaimed.

Calais nodded, and took a chomp of roasted minotaur they had grabbed from one of Ribeyes shops. She still felt weird about seeing Ribeye so casually hand her the meat while holding the bone, considering he was made of it.

"Let's hope that things stay this way." Blobbi said. "Especially with the city so close..."

Calais' head perked up at the word "city".

"Oh, it's a simple town, last I checked." Blobbi said nonchalantly. "Just a few dead-people making due with the land n' stuff."

Calais nodded in understanding, and took another bite of food.

"We should get there tomorrow." Blobbi said. "I think. I dunno for sure."

Calais shrugged, she went to take another bite, but suddenly, the wind blew hard, and the fire went out. Cold rushed over the adventurers...

Calais shivered and huddled up. You could almost hear a cartoon chattering noise.

"You okay?" Blobbi asked. "Ya don't look ok."

Calais tried to flash a smile and a thumbs up, but shivered, and bundled up again. Blobbi saw this, shape-shifted into a blanket, and wrapped her up in a warm blob-blanket-burrito (Say that 5 times fast).

Calais smiled and felt warm again.

Calais and Blobbi were up early that morning, they made some pancakes (which Blobbi was hesitant to eat since they looked somewhat like him), and immediately got to continuing their adventures.

Calais still felt thankful and appreciative of what Blobbi had done for her last night, which made her feel more eager to make sure Blobbi got his wish. She reached up to her shoulder, and scratched Blobbis head, he smiled and nuzzled her head in return.

A few more skeletal soldiers tried to stop them along the way, but Calais put them all to sleep with a spell or two. Calais smirked, she felt proud of how much she was growing.

Eventually, they saw a sign. It read...

"Hellfire City, 1 mile ahead!"

"City..?" Blobbi said curiously.

Calais, with her eyes wide, grabbed Blobbis head and tilted it forward. He couldn't believe what he saw. A MASSIVE city laid before them.

"I don't think it's just a small town anymore..."

Calais and Blobbi looked around in wonder. They had never seen such beauty in a place like Hell before. (I mean it IS hell.) The lights glew with bright neons, and the noises and smells were all so pleasantly overwhelming. Neither had ever seen anything like this before.

"The lights are so pretty..." Blobbi said with wonder in his eyes.

Calais just barely nodded, she was lost in wonder herself.

Suddenly, Calais noticed the skeletons around her, she thought they were hostile and blasted one with a spell. It was just an armorless skeleton, sitting on a bench. He was already asleep.

Calais blushed out of embarrassment and tried to leave, she stepped out onto the road, when-

Blobbi YANKED her back, out of the way of a car speeding down the road.

"I've really got a knack for saving you, huh?" Blobbi said with a cheeky smile on his face.

Calais rolled her eyes with a smile and gave him a little pat-pat.

As they walked throughout the streets, they picked up plenty of magical foods and drinks for battles, and saw plenty of massive ads on the sides of buildings.

Eventually, they reached a sign that showed a large map of the city. Calais was the only one who knew how to read, so she figured out where they were at. They were...

1/16th of the way through the city. They were gonna be here a while.

"ONLY THAT FAR?!" Blobbi exclaimed. "Get ready to walk Calais, you're gonna need it..."

Calais thought for a moment, then looked at her wings. Perhaps she could use them to fly...

She unfurled her wings, and with a BOOM, she went up high into the air. She looked around at the skyscrapers around her, and saw how beautiful they were. She was so entranced by it, that she forgot the fact she was 40 feet in the air. Before she knew it, she was falling. Where? Right towards an uncovered manhole. Great...

Calais flapped her wings as fast and hard as she could, but to no avail.

"WE'RE GONNA DIE!!" Blobbi cried. "OR AT LEAST YOU WILL BECAUSE I'M A BLOOOOOBBBBB!"

Calais felt the adrenaline pump through her arteries, but it was useless. She accepted her fate, when-

Plompf.

She had landed on a massive pillow. What had happened? Calais and Blobbi were flabbergasted.

"You welcome." A familiar voice said.

It was Ribeye.

"RIBBY!" Blobbi exclaimed. "You saved us!"

"But why..." he trailed off. "Why do you have a giant pillow?"

"Never call me 'Ribby' again." Said Ribeye. "The pillow's some goofy 'weapon' for pillow fights."

"Huh." Blobbi said. "Well that was weird."

"Wait, you have a job in the city?" Blobbi said as he tilted his head.

"It's a different gig." Ribeye said. "Gotta pay rent somehow."

"Oh..." Said Blobbi. "What's this one for, then?"

"Some star." Said Ribeye. "Name's..."

Ribeye looked up at the ad on the side of the tallest tower in the city behind him.

"Peyton, or something."

"Huh, neat!" Said Blobbi.

"Say..." Ribeye started. "Her employees get free tickets to most of her shows. I couldn't care less. Want them?"

"Well... we're gonna be in this city for a while." Blobbi said. "And I've got all the time in the world anyways, right?"

Calais looked at him, hesitantly, but she nodded.

"We accept!"
