"Gr- Grandma!"

Ms. Yao said not to worry about grandma, but hearing her message I couldn't help but tremble. Dashing forward, gliding across the ruined palace grounds the voices from the dead came over me again, "I̴ ̸d̷ ̴o̷ ̵n̸ ̶'̸ ̴t̴ ̸w̶ ̸a̵ ̶n̷ ̷t̸ ̵t̸ ̶o̴ ̵D̸ ̴i̷ ̸e̵ ̵!̵ ̷!̶ ̶!̶" Tears started falling down my face as I felt the spiritual web begin to fly loosely in the wind,

"Please Quiet down.. I Can't See AnyThing-!"

Their voices clouded my mind making it hard for me to visualize my surroundings,

"I̶ ̴t̴ ̵ ̵h̸ ̵u̸ ̶r̵ ̸t̷ ̴s̵ ̵,̴ ̴"

'Quiet Down!' I told the voices, but they only got louder and louder,

"̵̵̴H̷̵̴ ̷̴̷O̸̶̴W̵̶̸ ̵̶̸C̷̵̴O̴̶̷U̷̵̶L̶̷̵D̵̸̵ ̸̸̴Y̷̵̵O̵̵̷U̷̴̸!̵̴̸"̵̵̵ ̵"̷P̸L̶E̴A̸S̶E̷!̵"̶̸̸ ̸"̶̸̴N̶̸̸O̶̸̴T̶̶̵ ̴̶̶M̶̶̵Y̶̵̵ ̶̶̶C̸̸̷H̶̶̷I̴̸̷L̶̶̵D̶̴̵"̶̶̵ ̴"̵s̴h̷u̷t̴ ̶U̶P̸!̸"̶ ̷̴̵"̶̶̸S̷̴̴T̴̵̶A̵̵̴Y̶̶̶ ̷̶̴A̶̶̶W̷̸̸A̴̶̶Y̵̶̴ ̵̷̷F̵̷̷R̸̵̴O̶̴̴M̷̷̴ ̶̷̴M̴̸̶E̶̴̷!̵̶̸!̸̴̶!̴̷̷"̷̴̵ ̴̵̵ ̸ ̷

The voices were like a hive of insects you'd find when you pick up a log, angrily crawling up your arm because you disturbed them. Watching the sight of such a horrid thing unfold, would make a child like myself faint from the shock.

"̷̲͊S̷̭̍t̷̛̺o̴̜͊p̶̘̔-̷̹́ ̵͔̋P̵̢͋L̷̔͜ȇ̶̬a̴͖͂s̸̠̑ẽ̵̹ ̶̠̂S̸̮͛t̵̮̿o̷̞͆p̷͛͜"̸̢̿ ̴̭̅"̵̤͂Ḿ̴̡ä̵́͜k̵̹̿ȩ̶̑ ̴̞̈i̵̟͗t̷̡͛ ̷̨̉S̷̢͐t̴̙͒o̶̳̕p̶̰͝,̷̔ͅ"̴̘̀ ̷̨̊P̶̜̐l̵̗̓é̵͈a̵̲̐s̸̭̽e̷̛͖"̶̧̕

I wanted to run away, I wanted to run far far away from the voices, from the chaos that was in my mind, but I couldn't. It latched on to me, and it forced me to watch its wrath decay over me.

"Please, stop-"

Forced into a corner like a bee protecting its hive, I did everything to get them off of my body, out of my mind.

"S̸t̸e̸a̶m̴y̷!̸"

"̶Y̶O̸U̵!̶"̷ ̵"̴I̷t̶'̵s̶ ̴Y̴o̸u̵r̴ ̶F̶A̶u̴l̵T̷"̸ ̶"̸D̵i̷e̴!̶"̵ ̶"̸Y̵o̴u̴r̵ ̸M̴o̶n̸s̶t̶e̷r̴!̸"̶ "S̷n̶a̶p̵ ̵O̶u̶t̷ ̸o̴f̷ ̷I̵T̸!̴'"

S̸T̷O̸P̵ ̷I̶T̶!

I could faintly hear Ms. Yaovilda cry out to me, but the voices cried louder. I couldn't hear her clearly, I couldn't see clearly, and my body was trembling unconditionally. I dropped to the floor, my spider limbs receding back into my body, 'My hands?' I can't feel anything, 'Am I bleeding!?' I'm burning up but I can sense something around us. 'It's not just the Wound, It's-!' The Pressure! It's too strong. 'I can't stand it any longer,' I can't think straight, "Steamy!" 'Who is That?' """C̴h̸i̴l̸d̷!̷""" my mind's going blank, 'i'm falling... asleep.'

"Steamy!" Yaovilda yelled, "Stay with me!"

"She's bleeding everywhere, I need to find where her wound is!" Carefully removing Streamys top the sight of her body leaves General Yaovilda in an undying shock, "Wh- What Is This?!?" It's a miracle that she was even able to move from a wound such as this one. But her body, why does she have so many scars, and on top of that, what are these round things? Is this her-

"Ms. Yaovilda-"

"S-Steamy! You're awake, but you- What is this?"

I reached for her hand, "Please, Find Grandma-" and handed her the communication stone.
