Within Labyrinthine Passages Lurks a Horror

from Sojourns in the Realm of the Undermoon by Fen Walker

/

lyrics

She was going to birth her child soon, she could feel it. This was no place for her bobbin to enter into life, if it was alive at all. She strove forward, hands tight against the knife wounds in her abdomen. Her steps quickened with a new determination when she saw the glow of light up ahead. Sunlight! She entered a massive chamber, the walls thick with vibrant fungus. Not sunlight. She would have crumpled with disappointment, but she saw a cluster of ear like growths that would staunch the bleeding of her wounds. She made for the glowing cluster, avoiding the deep pool in the chamber's center. She knew what could lurk in the pools of these caverns.

She screamed as she packed her wounds with the fungus. Her child kicked within her. Still alive! A contraction brought her to her knees. The pool rippled. Panting, The Wanderess eyed the water. It rippled again. Then the surface exploded. She didn't know of anything but the foulest of sorceries which could have produced such a monstrosity. It was clearly the ancestor of the cavern fish that swim in the low pools, but there was the taint of fungus through its twisted form and, most disturbing of all, a human component about it. There was no time however, for profundities, its was upon her and she hadn't her spear!
