//------------------------------// // The Epilogue // Story: Room 22 // by Nugget //------------------------------// You wake up the next morning in the middle of the Everfree Forest. Shaking your head, you had no idea how you got there in the first place. The last memory you could recall was opening the door to Room 22. You’re all alone. The only thing you can see is the vegetation, vines, trees, and bark scattered all over the forest. Looking down at your body, you notice you don’t have any cuts, slashes, or bruises. You assumed somepony must have carried you out of that room and dumped you off in the middle of nowhere. Seems nice of them, right? You were once lost before you found the Applewood Tower Hotel and now you're lost again, but in the Everfree Forest. Of all the places you could have been taken to, why did something drop you off here? This is the last place you want to be left stranded! The monsters and other-worldly creatures within his place could do things beyond just harming you. They could make you suffer, scream out in agony, and then straight up end your life without mercy. That’s how ruthless and careless they are. To them, all you are is nothing except prey. You began to panic, worrying about anything and everything that could happen to you. You then cryed out in desperation, hoping to find or hear something that could answer your call for help. Unfortunately, there was no response. You then looked down to find a note on the ground. Wasting no time, you picked it up, wiped the dust off the card, and read through each word. Just as fast as you picked it up, you threw it down on the ground and backed away from it, not believing anything that was said on the card. You couldn't handle the reality of your situation anymore. All it took was four simple words; “Welcome to your Tartarus.”
