Nemesis had no idea what in the caves that was but she never ever wanted to have that happen again. She had been beaten by a harmless noodle, who had escaped unscathed, and everything in her body ached. For now, the best she could do was limp off with her "prize"... What was left of the moss on the rock (which she decided to simply scoop up on to her face, as well as apply generously to her bruises) and the gift for Fang.

With a great sigh she picked up the lamp and dragged herself away from the tunnel. This place was starting to become a battle ground for her worst losses... But at least she could walk away from this one, unlike last time.

Somehow, that didn't make her feel much better.
