Fairy Boy in the Depths Escape from Giantess Dungeon! chapter 2 by tfwnogiantgf

That's right. You're a fairy man, who's been in the glade for a while. There's not much difference between fairy genders; you just have a small set of leaves covering sensitive areas around the bottom. A lot of stuff has changed over your life in the glade; but you've always been about this height, the size of a human thumb. You're mature enough that your wingspan is full, able to fly for about an hour at a time; though that could be way shorter on an empty stomach.

And there's not much appetizing in your immediate surroundings. There's nary even a torch in the halls of Deeplily, the limestone bricks only illuminated by your own natural bioluminescence. Each of your heartbeats shows a flicker of the tree roots and vines that have started to grow around the stone walls.

They don't call it Deeplily Labyrinth for nothing. You're far underground.

But not abandoned. There's fresh footprints in the dusty floor. They lead back and forth, in uniform steps; as if by the boots of guards on patrol. Many of them stop at specific square holes in the wall, each with chalk notes in human language above them.

From the looks of it, these are slots for giving prisoners food. And from the sounds on the other end, the cells are still occupied.

A firmly sealed door blocks one end of this hall. Old, gnarled tree routes block further passageways. It seems like these openings might be the only way out. You'll just have to trust whichever prisoner's on the other end to not eat you immediately.

You scan their writing to determine the best path...

"ALVET - Human - Barbaric nature - very high metabolism - feed meat if she's been behaving

GUILTY OF PROPERTY DAMAGE IN BORROWER DISTRICT"

Through this vent, you hear a loud BOOM! BOOM! The whole wall shakes from repeated impacts.

"EILIDON - Elf - Cleric knowledge, do not give suspicious herbs - never seen her actually eating

GUILTY OF ESPIONAGE WITH SHRUNKEN ACCOMPLICE"

There's a quiet, slow tap... tap... tap... on the other end, with calm breaths that almost sound like melodic humming.

"ILBIEN - Human - Mage scholar, if you hear chanting re: dark gods reduce her caffeine intake

GUILTY OF FORBIDDEN MICRO SUMMONING RESEARCH"

An uneven, uneasy Thwoomph. Thwoomph. from near it, sometimes punctuated with scratching noises.

"OLIBE - Goblin - Roguish, will try to peek through slot and get ideas - she'll eat anything

GUILTY OF BREAK-AND-ENTRY WITH GROWTH POTION"

This vent has a wet squelch, squelch on the opposite end, and a noticeable smell of something burning.

One of these may be a path out, or your chance to hide from guards for a moment. But can you really trust any of them? Which cell will you slip into?
