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.

 

[Alolan_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.

Meanwhile, Vask sprinted through the woods as fast as his little legs could take him, not knowing where Jack had gone to.

 

[Alolan_Apples]

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
