Chrysalis

Chapter 45

I can feel something under my head. It’s solid, like, a rock? My legs are so heavy as well, how long have I been asleep? I try to stretch my arms out and can’t for some reason.... Where the heck are my arms?

Wait...

I don’t have arms anymore! Then it all comes flooding back. The fight, the ants, the ape! What the heck happened? Am I alive?

I try to spring up to my feet but a solid force is holding me down. What the heck?! Am I still under attack?

My vision swings wildly before finally settling and I can see an enormous monster above me, pressing me down with one large leg.

Wha!? What is this thing? Don’t eat me! I’m not delicious!

It takes a moment for my head to settle down. I haven’t been harmed I don’t think? The force on my back is pressing me down but not harming me in anyway. I quickly check my status. I’m at about half HP? I remember being next to dead...

Err.. Where did these levels come from?

I’ve gained three whole levels? Is this from the Bat-Gorilla? I don’t really remember how that fight ended...

And as I look closer as this massive monster above me... isn’t it an ant?

Like, a massive ant?

Hang on a second? The QUEEN?

A truly enormous monstrous ant, easily four times my size is standing over me, pressing me down to the ground and watching me as I wake up. Slowly she leans forward and her antennae begin to glow brightly.

When those antennae touch mine I can feel a surge of icy energy sweep through my body. I’m shocked at first but then it reminds of something, my regeneration gland! Is she healing me?

Checking my status I can see that I’ve gained another ten HP. This is a bit of a surprise, the Queen knows healing magic?

Suddenly the pressure from my back is gone and I can stand up. The Queen turns away from me to pick something up in her mandibles and turns back, dropping a huge chunk of monster in front of me. I think this is... the apes arm?!
