Chapter 2788 The Sisterhood:>26
- I felt the presence fade away. Would it ever return? I wasn't sure. A part of me was relieved while the other would miss it. The landscape shifted and the world was worn out and free from humans and animal life. The tumbled skyscrapers looked like rotted teeth dotting the cityscape. I saw what happened to our infrastructure once humanity was removed from the equation. Nature had reclaimed it and yet I felt like I was being watched. I crouched and remained still. The stench of dried blood and rotted flesh caught my attention. At first, I thought it was just a change in the wind bringing me the scent of a rotted corpse until I felt the hobbled footsteps. Whatever it was stopped and sniffed the air. It moved again but this time directly towards my hiding spot. I ran.
- Like any great horror film, the victim ran while the monster slowly pursued them unless of course you are in a zombie flick and the zombies can run too. In that case you are severely fucked. I knew it was behind me. I did these amazing leaps and was like the king of parkour. I vaulted, ducked, dove, and evaded like a mother fucker. The thing still pursued me. I found an outcropping of green in this monochromatic hellscape. I dove for it.
- The jungle engulfed me in a hot and humid embrace. I had left the monster a world away. This was altogether familiar. I recognized plants as well as bird calls and even the growl of a panther above me. The big cat shadowed me but didn't threaten or inhibit my movement. I spotted the top of the pyramid poking out from top of the trees. The dream seemed to be guiding me in that direction. I didn't fight the inexorable pull. The jungle thinned and opened on a clearing. At the center of the clearing was a pyramid, an Egyptian pyramid. The statue of Bastet the cat goddess was a bit of a giveaway. The goddess was lounging with a host of cat kind.
