EXE

One more trial has begun. This time around, you are being pursued by EXE. You are set in what can barely be described as a twisted Green Hill Zone, more like hell with Sonic props. Dead critters scatter the land like nightmarish Christmas ornaments. The atmosphere is crimson, making everything infront of you difficult to see.. perfect for the beast. It’s hard to see in general, if it wasn’t for the red air, an eclipse stays prominently above you. Everytime you look up to stare at the black sun, you swear you hear the screams of a thousand souls. It’s difficult to navigate the landscape, it’s impossible to decipher what is bridge or branch. You cautiously take all your steps, EXE could be around any corner. After a while, you find your first ring around a tree. The charred corpse of who could only be thought of as Tails the Fox was tangled in vines around the tree, like he was ambushed and trapped in place.. you see another ring not far from where you are now. As you walk towards it across a bridge, you feel a sharp sensation surge throughout your leg. Something has got a hold of your leg, and it isn’t gonna let go unless you put up a fight. The more you tussle with the trap, the more intense it grapples onto you. You finally get the thorny tendrils off yourself, but.. you took to long. YOU’RE TOO SLOW.
