Surviving (Mass Release Day 2)

**

Inside the Starbode Bao's mouth, it's like the Underworld but way more exotic. Plants of different species evolved here to thrive without sunlight. Instead, the heat from the tongue of the whale heats their roots, giving them the energy to make their own food. Not only the tongue is a source of energy but also magic to make themselves glow in different colors. Mostly blue, it makes the whole ecosystem look eerie to outsiders. Especially Zuriel.

He's pulling a carcass of a dead giant lizard back to their cottage with the help of his three clones who are experiencing the same debuff as him.

"Argh!!" a clone pulling the lizard by the foot groans in exhaustion. He raises his chin to frown at the air as he complains, "How much farther?"

"It's near," says the real one, pulling the lizard by the tail. "Now, get on with it. Helena is hungry."
