Chapter 2: The Slime Prince and Gunghrir’s Roar

The big doors of the Tower of Darkness groaned like sleepy giants when Zsolista knocked gently. They looked like they hadn't been opened in forever.

Creak… Slowly, the door opened just a little bit.

Enchanted words were carved into the doorframe:

"If you come in, you won't leave. The light of the 9 will hurt your eyes. Only someone good can pick the flower."

Boka squinted, still chewing on a crispy tail. "Huh? Sounds yummy! I'll eat the flower and this tower too! Boka-Boka!"

Zsolista nodded, taking one last bite of her snack. Then they stepped inside. It was dark but felt very big. They took a few steps, looking at funny-shaped furniture. Creak… The door slammed shut behind them with a whoosh!

Suddenly, the air felt cold and sticky. Everything was shiny and wet. Even the chairs and paintings dripped with goopy slime! The room seemed to breathe slowly.

"Yuck! Slime in my hair! Slime on my book!" Baby floated up to keep her toes dry. "Ew ew ew! It's-a-Baby!"

Boka glowed brightly and blew a wind spell, making a clean path. "Easy peasy! Now, where's more food? Hmm, maybe slime on toast? Wanna try, Baby?"

"No way!" Baby shivered.

Their boots went squish, squeak as they walked. Sometimes they got stuck with a funny plop sound. They saw chairs melting into goo and paintings that looked like they were waving hello. The deeper they went, the stickier the air felt.

At the end of the room was a tall door with shiny gems. It glowed like it was a star.

Just as Baby floated closer to look –

SPLORCH!

A big blob of slime fell from the ceiling! It almost landed right on Baby! She squeaked and wiggled in the air! Inside the slime were rocks and broken swords!

Zsolista zoomed up and caught Baby just in time! They landed safely next to Boka.

"That's not just slime – it has bones inside!" Boka gasped. "Boka-Boka!"

The blob wiggled and pulled itself up. Inside, they saw swords, bones, and even a helmet that looked like it belonged to someone from Castle Beezerbub! It was a Slime-Prince! Zsolista saw a tiny crown bobbing on its head. They said if the crown touched skull, it would become a fast and scary Slime King!

Zsolista looked sad. "These were our friends. We have to help them."

Boka and Baby got mad and they glowed and changed! Wind howled, and magic swirled. A big, blue dragon with one wing appeared! It was Boka and Baby together – the Azure Ice Dragon! A dragon that could freeze bad guys!

Zsolista spun around, singing a magic song. A magic glyph appeared above her head. It had ice and roar symbols! She was talking to Boka and Baby with magic!

"Azure Dragon's Roar – Ice Howl!"

But the slime monster fought back! It made a wet gurgling sound and threw sticky goo at the dragon. The Azure Ice Dragon dodged and used Ice Howl again! But the slime split into lots of little goo monsters!

Burn marks appeared on the dragon's shiny skin.

The slime-prince made itself into a sharp spear! It zoomed towards them!

Zsolista shouted, "Distract it! Now!"

The Azure Dragon turned back into Baby and Boka.

Baby flashed lightning!

Boka made a bright flash!

The spear turned to block them.

Too late!

Zsolista made a new magic glyph above her head!

"Gunghrir's Roar!"

The room exploded with cold! Ice crystals appeared in the air! The slime spear froze and broke!

Everything stopped moving. Slime, little monsters, goo – all frozen. Even time felt cold!

CRACK!

The slime-prince broke into a shimmering frost.

Everything was quiet and still. No drips, no breathing. The room was like a winter dream. The trio floated down, their boots crunching on frozen slime.

"We fought a slime-king once," Boka said, licking an icicle. "This one was juicier! Boka-Boka!"

"I want a hot bath," mumbled Baby. "With yummy soap! It's-a-Baby!"

They looked around the frozen room, collecting shiny rings and spell books for their Bag of Wonderment.

At the end of the icy room, they went back to the magic door.

Zsolista took the glowing heart-crystal from the broken slime-prince.

Carefully, she put it into a hole in the middle of the door.

CLICK!

The door glowed with bright colors! Stairs twisted upwards like a sticky candy spiral!

Zsolista squinted. "Do you smell… something stinky?"

Boka sniffed. "And burnt candy?"

"Let's go see!"

Their feet floated up. The tower was calling them!

I didnt feel like righting today, mainly because I have to work tomorrow. I find any excuse not to right. Annoyingly I was going to write more on my obsidian but then I realized I dont have an account and I was logged out of the one I have in my desktop. I thankfully still have my saved files in my hard drive but now they wont open in my Obsidian instance. Just another thing to get me not to write haha. But I am writing here which is an accomplishment  for me. I think I will stick with this and finish out the first adventure of Zsolista and her Twin Spirits. I am having fun and its still technically all cannon  to me :)
