A Task From Vask - Story Complete!

[michealsmells]

The carriage creaked to an eerie stop, and one could now see that there was no person heading the carriage, only the horses that had been leading it forward.

 

[Freya_Druid]

Even the horses had an eerie emptiness in their eyes, fog flowing from their open maws and spindly legs digging powerful hooves restlessly into the soft forest earth.

 

[duckvely]

With the thought of Zipper behind him, Jack had no choice but to enter the carriage.

 

[You got mail!]

The carriage moved fast immediately, the destination unknown.

 

[moonbyu]

"It seems that Vask will just have to help himself, in whatever way that may be.." Jack solemnly thought to himself.

 

[Freya_Druid]

Meanwhile, back at the popcorn stand… a series of pings could be heard as the livestream streamed on on Vask’s long since discarded phone.

 

[-Apples-]

But those pings were caused by a ghost who was one of Vask’s contacts.

 

[Rio_]

A spectre named Wisp was sending a flurry of messages, all repeating the exact same phrase:

 

[LittleMissPanda]

"I'm t-trapped....! I'm trapped....!!" The desperation in his voice rang clearly even through the screen, hoping to be saved.

 

[michealsmells]

Some of the livestream chat began to panic- was this all part of some kind of elaborate show, or was something actually wrong; and who would help?!

 

[You got mail!]

The livestream then suddenly cut to static, confusing the chat even further.

While looking for Jack, Vask stopped at a river from the woods that has dried up 10 years ago.

 

[Aquilla]

Following the dried up river bed, Vask discovered that it leads into a tunnel - it’s walls caked with dry algae and mud.

 

[Zerous]

Cautiously, Vask entered the tunnel, and noticed an eerie glow emanating from further inside

 

[nightglow]

As Vask approached the glow as it changed color and he started to hear some chimes.

 

[DaCoSim]

As he grew closer, the glow started pulsing in rhythm with the chimes.

 

[Airysuit]

Vask felt something he never felt before, and waited for a moment to catch his breath before reaching the glow, which started pulsating the closer he got.

 

[Coach]

It was another egg, sat on a pedestal, just like the one that Zipper had devoured.

 

[You got mail!]

“Hopefully, history won’t repeat itself...” Vask thought
