A magnificent day for Adventure: Day 36~
Sif had gotten to the Crimson, and had delved down into on of those... Mouth thingies that are all around the place. We went down this creepy winding tube into the earth, and came out into a big chamber.
Sif set up torches all over the room, apparently she doesn't like being in a big, dark, creepy cave that squelches. So she got rid of the dark bit! She smashed a weird pulsating heart, and a spear popped out. I felt... Creeped out. Like the walls were watching me... It made me shiver, like a chill went down my spine...
And just as she did, she felt the Eye watching her again. Back to Home-
Tree, and Sif quickly put stuff away, before stepping out to where she faught last time. Everyone else, me included, hid inside.
The fight may as well have been a loop in time, playing out the same night again. The same dodges. The same screeches. The same fearsome spines.
And the same defeat, with Maxwell and Abigail coming to the rescue.
I don't think I need to explain how angry Sif was. That Eye is nasty, and it beat her up not once, but twice. And both times it looked ready to collapse, just as Sif did collapse... I gave her plenty of nuzzles as she recovered.
All fixed up, it was out to the Crimson again, and more attacking of those funny Heart things. She needed to use Bombs to get into the little pockets that they thumped from. Turns out... BAD IDEA.
As she smashed the second Heart, I swear I could hear the walls screaming. Screaming I say! And on the third, I found out what was causing it... A GIANT FLIPPITY FLOPPIN' BRAIN. It popped straight out of the walls, a swarm of creeptastic eyes clustered around it!
Sif flailed her Yoyo at the mass of Eyes, and got neatly stuck in a crack between the Crimstone. There was a lot, I mean a LOT of bad words, interrupted by the Mirror auto-activating to BAM, back at Home-Tree for Abigail's emergency treatment.
The worst part? After begrudgingly resting in bed for only a few moments, it was off to the Crimson again. 2 more Hearts, and a little Heart popped out... And followed her, glowing. Weirdly, Sif just let it come along. And then it was the 6th Heart.
Run, flail, trudge through a half-frozen puddle, BAM. Another short rest in bed for a noonday nap, and back we went.
3 more Hearts, to make 9 total. Back to running, again caught in that cold puddle. BAM... The bad words made me cry a little, even though they were mostly at the Brain.
All of that, and Sif needed to retreat 4 times today from big nasties. She didn't defeat the eye of Cthulhu, nor a single Creepy Eye surrounding the Brain. She is not a happy Sif... But she seems to be forming a plan.
