I followed the lapis blood trail to find myself back at a solid concrete box. The blood looked as if it went through the concrete itself.

I was still too weak to perform a spell to break it, so instead, I set up camp with Wendy.

We stayed there for a total of three nights. The next day, I blasted a hole through the concrete, which apparently wasn't solid, but about thirty centimeters thick.

I drained half of my energy doing so.

We snuck in.

"You okay, Dipper?" Wendy asked.

"Yeah. I'll be fine. Now we'll find Mabel," I said, floating an inch off the ground.

We came to a temple like room past the long corridor.

I picked Wendy up and entered.

"Hey! Let me down!"

"Shush. Traps are always in places like this."

Once we reached the other side of the room, I memorized it to sketch later.

A trap sprung. I knew it.

I grabbed Wendy and we dodged the old fashioned darts just in time.

Then I realized I was laying on her chest.

"Um...Dip? You okay?"

My whole face must've been red. I got up and scrambled to the ceiling, floating.

"Y-y-yeah. I'm fine. Let's just keep moving," I said, and we started walking and floating once more.

Sorry for no updates. There's been a lack of inspiration for all my books. Sorry. Buy gold, bye!
