Adam paused for a moment.

"....giant spider leg?" he asked.

When she nodded, he gulped audibly.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh crap, crap, crap." he mumbled.

"That's the guardian." he told her.

"And it's probably not happy with us." he said further.

"Let me know if you see any glowing eyes." he finished, before he started to work faster at freeing her.

Just as she rued the fact she had no blade, Adam joined her.

"....crap." he said.

"It's as I feared." he said further.

"This webbing... this amount..." he went on, looking around.

"...the guardian..." he whispered.

"Callie, we're square in Guardian territory." he told her.

"Let me know if you see anything... that resembles an arachnid." he finished, before attempting to free her from the webbing.

Adam's pupils shrank when she said that.

"No..." he whispered.

"Crap, crap, crap!" he cursed, before starting to race towards her.

That was when she heard something else.

And when she looked up, she swore she saw a leg.

A large... long... hairy... leg.

The more she looked, the more webbing she saw.

It was an insane amount of webbing.

A scary amount of webbing.

An unnatural amount of webbing.

And then she heard the rustling. Which became more of a shuffling. Which then sounded like skittering.

Meanwhile, Adam was looking around as well.

"........loooooootta webbing here..." he mumbled, before his eyes widened.

"Ohhhhhhhh nooooooo..." he murmured, before looking towards Callie.

"Callie!" he whisper-yelled to her, hoping she'd hear him.

Adam nodded.

"Yes." he replied.

"Yes, I do." he told her.

"I get the feeling that if we stay still, we're in danger." he said.

With that, they started to move forward, with Adam looking upwards consistently.

"...whatever it is... it's upwards." he commented.

Adam's eyes widened.

".....there is." he replied.

"There IS a guardian." he realized, and reported vocally.

"...but... where IS it...?" he mumbled.

"Why isn't it doing its job...?" he asked further, before pausing.

"Unless-" he started to say, before freezing.

"Listen." he whispered, as rustling could be heard suddenly.

Adam nodded.

"They are." he replied.

"Quite huge." he said.

"The shrine's blessing reaches out a great distance." he went on, before pausing for a moment.

"Why?" he then asked, looking around.

"What are you thinking...?"

Adam stopped when they reached the silence.

".......Callie..." he whispered.

"This... this is too quiet." he said.

"This silence is... unnatural." he told her.

"It means something's wrong. Like, REALLY wrong." he went on.

"This place is supposed to be teeming with life."

"Right." Adam replied.

"I agree." he said.

"Come on, then!" he exclaimed.

"I'll see what I can do about our injuries when we clear this." he finished, as they ran.

"......." Adam was silent for a moment, and nodded.

"Right." he said.

"Let's go." he agreed.

"Forward!" he yelled.

With that, the two of them started to move as quickly as they could.

"How are you feeling?" he asked.

"You don't look so good." he commented.

"Nngh... damn it." Adam growled, as he fought against the vines.

"Please!" he cried out.

"You have to believe us! We mean no harm!" he pleaded.

"We just want to HELP you!" he exclaimed, as he tried to keep the vines off of himself and Callie... but was failing miserably at doing both.

"CALLIE!" Adam exclaimed, as he raced over towards where she was.

Not caring about the damage it would deal to his hands, he grabbed the vines, and started to pull them off of her, ignoring the thorns that were cutting into him.

"Damn it, LET GO!" he yelled.

"CALLIE! Try to break free!" he called to Calysta.

"Odds are we won't be able to." Adam confirmed.

"These thorns are tough as nails." he told her.

"So we might need to take our chances in the canopy." he muttered further, looking upwards.

"I'll do what I can should it come to that." he went on.

"When do you want to try?" he asked.

".....hm." Adam muttered.

"Maybe." he said.

"Depends on how willing they'd be to let us navigate through them." he commented.

"Or how deft we are at dodging its attacks." he then added.

"If you want to try, I'm game." he told her.
