Zoe stumbled as she crossed the threshold into the ValueVault, her footing thrown off by the strange sensation of the shard's energy.
It felt like her nerves were buzzing, her muscles vibrating with a low hum, making every movement feel slightly off.
Immediately, she felt something pulling at her, like an invisible force dragging her away from her teammates.
She twisted around, trying to keep sight of Gavin, Serria, and Roderick, but the entrance behind her warped, folding in on itself like a mirage in the heat.
They were gone.
The entrance seemed to seal them off, splitting them into different sections of the shard.
"Snacks, you still with me?" Zoe muttered, glancing at her shoulder.
Her tiny dragon familiar perched there, his body tight against her neck, his wings twitching.
He let out a low chirp, his eyes wide as he looked around.
Hey readers!
Thank you for sticking with Zoe and the gang through their ValueVault chaos. In Chapter 37, we see the journey through the twisted aisles of ValueVault, facing all its strange, eerie surprises. Zoe and the team had quite the encounter with the Discount Duck—a boss unlike any other, because what's a visit to ValueMart without a dose of absurdity? This chapter delves a little deeper into the aftermath of fighting a corruption-fueled menace, and how our heroes pick up the pieces, both physically and emotionally. Expect some character growth, a lot of snark, and maybe even a revelation or two.
As always, thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy what comes next! Stay snack-powered
I figured out what was going on & I am creeping ahead. Thanks!
