《The Adventures of the Mask Maker》Chidna
Advertisement
Once I found out the Thousand Venom Cave was located, I quickly headed over there. After experiencing the memories of Gen and of his life with Chidna in the cave, I felt a bit of nostalgia and wanted to see the cave for myself. Upon arriving, I could see the thick Poison Essence enveloping and permeating the cave. This place was truly the most poisonous I've ever encountered in this world so far. The best way for me to not be affected by the poison is to become a ghost. I grab my Ghost Mask and put it on. Turning into a ghost, I floated in. Even as a ghost, the poison felt a bit dizzying. I figured if even my S-class Ghost Mask (which makes me into a S-class ghost) could be slightly affected by the poison, any ghost/spiritual beings below S-class would be severely affected.
As I venture in the depths of the cave, I closed my eyes and tried to feel the surroundings with my senses. I realized suddenly...that there was a powerful guardian spirit in this cave! The poisonous guardian spirit is currently dormant...hopefully the adventurers who will venture in won't accidentally wake it up. This spirit...judging from its abilities...might be almost near S-class...however, that's my rough estimation. As I venture in deeper, I realized that this place was practically a maze with many traps. But from the memories I received from Gen, I realized there's deactivation levers, buttons, and secret doors...but I don't know where they are. The walls are fragile and unstable...too much damage will cause the cave to collapse. I can sense that Chidna is in the center of the maze. The door to Chidna's room can only open if a few select buttons and levers were activated. These buttons and levers are placed randomly throughout the cave. Only once the buttons and levers are activated will the door open. If the door was forcefully opened, then the cave will self-destruct.

Luckily, I don't need to worry about that since I can phase through. Phasing through to the center of the maze, I found Chidna. The room was round, no corners...how? I phased out and saw the exterior to be square.... Ignoring this, I'll leave it to others to figure it out. I phased back in and approach the sleeping beauty. Chidna had green hair, orange eyes, light purple skin and a long green tail. There's a very thin layer enveloping her, keeping her safe from the poison in the surroundings, however, one touch from an outside force will surely break this layer and exposing the weak and comatose Chidna and endangering her. The poison in the surroundings is the most potent, most lethal, and most thick than any other place. Once I was a foot away from Chidna, a wave of memories washed over me...this was Chidna's memories!
Looking through the memories...I realized in horror...that Chidna...she's pregnant with Gen's child! There was room below this room where she was sleeping at! The door to the basement is below the bed that Chidna laid on. Phasing down, I was amazed at what I see...it was a baby's room...full of baby toys, a cradle, baby clothes....
I shook my head in resignation. We'll have to see what the adventurers will do. Chidna places more importance on her child and when we try to heal her, she will put most of the healing towards the child. But Gen, doesn't know of the child and places more importance on Chidna. So the question is...can we save both? Or would we have to save one and lose the other...but who? Save Chidna? Or save the child? Or...can we save both?
Calculating the percentages of success...saving the child will be 80% success, saving Chidna will be 50%...saving both will be 10%.

The word count ranges from ca. 1800 to 2800 words. The story collection is completed with a total of fifteen short stories and two extras. Although a possible future continuation is generally an option, it is not too likely.*******This is my first time publishing one of my fictions. I am using this short story collection as a way to test the waters before I seriously consider publishing a novel. As English isn't my mother tongue, I would appreciate it if native speakers, anglicists or any other proficient users of the English language could kindly inform me about any mistakes in grammar or word choice so that I may correct it. The same applies to any sentence or paragraph that may sound unnatural in English.
