The Echoes Of The Abyss
Chapter 13: The Hard Choice

Lian and Eris continue to explore the complicated and dangerous labyrinth, looking for possible solutions. However, they end up facing a dead end that seems to have no way out.

"We have to find another way," Lian said in frustration. "This can't be the right way out."

Eris shook her head. "I think this is the only way out. But it's very hard to open."

Lian looked carefully at the large door that was locked in front of them. "How can we open it?"

Eris sighed. "There's one way, but it's very dangerous. We have to face a very powerful monster and defeat it."

Lian was scared, but she knew that they had no other choice. He and Eris talked about their plan and prepared themselves for the fight.

They walked into the large room where the monster was waiting for them. It was a huge creature with huge wings and sharp claws. Lian and Eris tried desperately to defeat him, dodging the ferocious monster attacks and looking for loopholes to attack.

After a long and heavy fight, Lian and Eris managed to defeat the monster. However, they were both severely injured and were barely able to move.

"We need to get out of here now," Eris said with a gasp of breath. "We can't hold on much longer."

Lian nodded in agreement, but she knew that they would not be able to go far in this condition. "What should we do?"

Eris thought for a moment. "I have an idea. I will use my power to create a portal that will take us to safety. But it would require most of my strength, and I don't know if I could survive after that."

Lian was scared, but she knew that this was the only way to get out of there. "Let's do that."

Eris begins to create a portal, and Lian protects them from another monster attack. Finally, the portal was finished, and they jumped into it. They felt like they were flying through space, until they finally landed in a safe cave.

Lian looked at Eris and realized that she was seriously injured. "How are you?"

Eris smiled weakly. "I'll be fine. But I need a break now. I hope you can rest too."

Lian nodded in agreement, relieved that they had made it out of that mysterious underground world. He knew that they still had many obstacles ahead of them, but he was ready to face them with Eris by his side.

Lian and Eris walked through the dark passage that lay before them. The sun was already getting lower, and both of them had yet to find a way out of this labyrinth. They continued to walk non-stop, talking to each other and exchanging stories about themselves. However, as night fell, Eris seemed increasingly lethargic and agitated.

"Lian, I have to warn you" Eris said suddenly. "There's one way out that we can use, but it's going to be very dangerous. If we're not careful, we could lose our lives there."

Lian surprised. "How do you know about that exit? You didn't say it before."

Eris shook her head. "I don't want to take risks if I don't need to. But now, it seems we have no other choice."

Lian was silent for a moment. He knew that Eris was the only friend he could rely on in this underground world, and he did not want to lose her. However, he also knew that they had to get out of here as soon as possible.

"What should we do?" tanyakanya.

Eris replied in a serious voice. "We have to cross the bridge over the ravine. If we fall, we'll die. But if we make it across, we'll find a way out."

Lian swallowed his saliva. He had never seen such a bridge before, and it seemed extremely dangerous. However, he also knew that they had no other choice.

"Let's try," Lian said steadily.

They walked towards that bridge, and Lian felt her heart pounding fiercely on her chest. The bridge seemed to be extremely fragile and unsteady, and the abyss beneath it was extremely deep. However, he took a deep breath and started to step up.

Every step he took felt like his only final step, and he felt his heart stop beating as he nearly fell. However, he continued walking, holding on to the rope of the bridge and trying not to think about what would happen if he fell.

Finally, after a few minutes that seemed to be forever, they reached the end of the bridge and managed to cross it. They clenched their hands together, feeling relieved that they were still alive.

"It turns out you're quite brave" Eris said with a faint smile.

Lian smiled shyly. "I just want to get out of here as fast as I can."

Eris nodded. "We have to keep going. Never underestimate the dangers in this underground world."

After several hours of walking, they arrived at a very dark and narrow passageway. Lian could hear a rustling sound behind them, and she knew that they were being chased by ferocious creatures. He sped up his pace, trying to find a way out of that narrow passageway.

Suddenly, they arrived at a confusing intersection. Lian didn't know where to go, and Eris seemed to be getting weaker. Lian decided to choose one of the streets with her instincts, and they ran towards the brighter hallway.

However, after a while, they realized that they were trapped inside the passageway which led them in the wrong direction. They are forced to stop and take time to think about new strategies.

"Now what should we do?" ask Lian.

Eris pondered for a moment before replying, "We should turn around and look for another way. We can't keep going in the wrong direction."

Lian agreed to Eris' suggestion and they started walking back towards the intersection. However, when they arrive at the intersection, they discover that the creatures that are chasing them have covered the exit path.

Lian and Eris looked at each other, giving each other support and courage. They know that they have to fight for their lives, and it will be a tough fight.

They immediately prepare to fight, Lian takes her sword and Eris takes out her magic wand. They stood in the middle of the intersection, ready to face their enemies.

As the creatures get closer, Lian and Eris begin to fight back with all their abilities. They fought fiercely, slashing and burning the creatures with their swords and magic.

Although they struggled tenaciously, Lian and Eris started to feel tired and hurt. They continued to fight, relying on each other to survive.

After a while, they managed to defeat all those creatures. Lian and Eris stared at each other, realizing how important each other's presence was in the fight.

"We have to keep going" said Eris. "We can't stop now."

Lian consented and they continued their journey, entering the darker and dangerous passageways. They know that they must fight to survive and find a way out of the mysterious underground world.

After a while of walking, Lian and Eris arrived at a large room filled with huge stones that resembled pillars. At the end of the room, they saw a large door that looked like it was coming out of that place. However, the door was tightly locked.

"Eris, can you open it with your magic?" lian asked while pointing to that door.

Eris shook her head. "I can't open it with my magic. This door has a very strong magic protection. I've seen this kind of protection before, and to open it, we need the right key."

Lian was disappointed to hear that. "Then how do we find the key?" tanyakanya.

Eris looked around them, looking for any clues that could help them find the key. After a while, his eyes focused on a large rock in the corner of the room.

"Look over there" he said, pointing towards the rock. "Maybe the key is there."

Lian followed Eris's gaze and saw a stone that seemed different from the surrounding stones. He approached and pulled the stone. Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound and the ground around them shook.

"Eris, hurry!" exclaim Lian. "We must leave before this room collapses!"

They ran towards the exit and made it out right before the room collapsed behind them. They continued on their way, looking for the right key to open that door.

After a few hours, they finally found a key that seemed to match the door. Lian stuffed the key into the keyhole, and the door quickly opened. They gazed towards the bright sunlight at the end of the passageway and were delighted that they had managed to find a way out of the mysterious underground world.

Lian and Eris came out of that passageway and returned to the real world. They gazed towards the clear blue sky and felt relieved to have survived such a dangerous adventure. They looked at each other, and subconsciously, Lian grabbed Eris's hand and looked into her eyes with gratitude and gratitude.

"Eris, thank you for helping me" Lian said. "I will never forget what you did for me."

Eris smiled and returned Lian's grin. "We're doing this together, Lian," he said. "We must help each other to survive that underground world. And I will never forget what you did for me. You have saved me from my enemies, and it will always be a debt I have to pay you."

Lian smiled in relief, feeling that her decision to choose Eris as a friend and ally was the right one. They continued their journey, passing through the many dangers and obstacles that lay before them. Sometimes they made it through traps and dead ends, but sometimes they also almost lost hope.

However, they continued to struggle, maintaining their passion and determination to find a way out of that underground world. During their journey, Lian and Eris become closer, and love begins to grow between them. They support and protect each other, and never give up on the challenges.

Finally, after going through many struggles and obstacles, they found a way out of that underground world. They returned to the surface, grateful for their safety and celebrating their victory.

After returning to their real world, Lian and Eris begin a new life together. They continue to go on adventures and face danger, but they are always together, supporting each other and protecting each other. Their love grows stronger and stronger, and they live happily ever after. However, they never forgot their experiences in the underground world, and those memories haunted them all their lives.
