Cherreads

Chapter 9 - Recruiting

As the Sparrow flew over the tree tops, it could see the vague horizons of the cave by its sharp vision, it screached and spoke "we are almost there" and the puppet nodded and said "let's go" as all the puppets increased their pace

The herd too was dragged as leaving behind would seem like resistance, within a few minutes the group reached the centre of a large canopy with a large cave in the centre

"Is this the place where your master resides?" The large deer spoke but the puppet didn't respond as it sent signals through the mind and after a few minutes it spoke "Master said to use the tunnels, he said that the cave is too deep and one may get injured from the fall

The deer confused sensed the surroundings but didn't find any tunnels and asked "what tunnels? I can't sense any nearby?" But the puppet only laughed as it spoke "Master is stronger than you, it's not difficult for him to hide it from you" and the large deer couldnt help but twitch it's face

The puppet walked around the cave and the herd helplessly followed it with the other puppets guarding the back and before long they arrived infront of the back of the cave but the ground and the surroundings were not there

[Here is a fun way of representing words from me since it becomes hella boring to write all that and amma try using this from now on if u guys agree then comment pls]

In the consciousness:

Puppet(Leader): Master! Master!

???: hmm?

Puppet(leader): Where is the tunnel master? It disappeared!

???: ahh- my bad I was practicing how to control my body even more while you guys were away and found out that since my flesh is basically a part of the world then I can blend it with the surroundings, it's only limited to sight but wait a bit

Puppet(Leader): Master you are amazing!

The creature felt a bit proud of the compliment but he didn't let it carry him away as he used his powers to signal the tunnel to open

Outside the puppet opened its eyes but the large deer spoke "so? What happened?", puppet looked said "nothing much, Master said he is opening it and we should wait a little" but the deer didn't buy it and wanted to smirk but suddenly the ground began to shake as the ground split in a large fleshy tunnel

The puppet jumped in to report first as the other puppets also chased after him, the sparrow looked at the deer and spoke "Move it, Master is waiting inside don't make him wait too much" as it also dived inside the tunnel

The deer saw the fleshy tunnel and felt a wave of disgust but since it had come this far from its territory for the master of the one who could defeat it, it leaped in without hesitation and the herd followed after

Inside the Cave:

The puppet jumped off the tunnels walls as the other puppets and the sparrow also arrived soon after as the creature asked "where are the ones you went to capture?", the sparrow listened and spoke "master they are coming, it's probably that the leader is too huge that they are taking so long"

The creature listened and spoke "alright then let me expand the tunnel walls but it may make that slippery hope they can control their descent for the while" as the tunnel they entered grew rapidly

Inside the tunnel,

The large deer navigated through the tunnel, its antlers barely fit inside as they moved through the tunnel but suddenly the entire tunnel shook as it expanded and the flesh under its feet vanished and was much lower than where it stood, this cause the deer and the herd to fall on their legs as they slided through the tunnel, the deer screamed in terror as its tongue hit it's face due to the extreme speed

Within moments, the herd and the deer fell face front on the fleshy floor and the large deer stood up still having a headache and nausia from the earlier ride down the tunnel, this caused the puppet and the sparrow to burst out laughing but the creature pressed away it's smirk as it viewed the stats of the deer
