This choice: You wake up and find yourself still shrunken • Go Back...Chapter #16Still Tiny in the Morning by: _H_   You groggily awoke as sunlight hit your face. You took a look around, and found yourself still shrunken. Good thing Diane didn’t roll over in her sleep, huh? Diane still seemed to be sleeping, but it was likely she’d wake up soon. You stood up and began planning your next course of action. Somehow you’d need to get her attention, or you might meet the same fate as Zolthar. You considered going to her eye, but there was the off chance she’d think you were a bug.
You decided to go with the safer option, and began making your way over to her ear. You slowly walked across the landscape that was her face, and eventually made it to her ear. You crawled down her head and into her ear. It was almost like entering a cave! You walked deeper inwards, being careful not to go too far in. Unfortunately, it seems like Diane’s ears were very sensitive. You felt the ground begin to rumble, as you got pinned down.
Diane woke up, yawning as she sat up. “Ahh, morning little guy.” she said to her hands, expecting you to be there. Upon not seeing you and not hearing a response, she slightly panicked. Had he been kidnapped?!
You faintly heard Diane say good morning, but you were still disoriented from all the shaking. You got back to your senses, and tried your best to talk to her. “Hey Diane, I’m in your ear!” you yell.
Diane breathed a sigh of relief once she heard your voice, but it was soon followed by confusion. “Huh? How’d you end up there? Lemme get you out…”
Before you could respond, Diane’s finger came to the entrance of her ear. She didn’t feel anything there, so she moved it further inwards. Not wanting to get squished between her finger and ear, you quickly dodged out of the way. It just barely missed you, and reached the end of her inner ear. Once it began retracting, you jumped onto the side of it, clinging desperately.
Diane didn’t feel anything in her ear, and was confused. Maybe she was just hearing things? She brought her finger close to her face, just in case there was something there.
You held on for your dear life as her finger moved through the air. Eventually it stopped, and you found yourself in front of Diane’s giant, looming face. You crawled on top of the finger and stood up. “Down here!” you yelled.
Diane faintly heard your voice again, this time coming from her finger. She brought it even closer to her eye, and the result surprised her. You were super tiny, even more so than usual! “Woah, is that you!?” she yells out.
Her sudden yell caused you to lose your balance, and you fell off her finger. Luckily, Diane saw this and acted quickly. She brought her hand under you, safely catching you in her palm. “Woah, close one” you say to yourself. You looked up and Diane seemed very confused at the situation.
“You’re a lot… smaller than I remember you being.” she says to you. You simply chuckled in response. “Well, some things happened in the night, and I’m like this now.”
Diane tried her best to hear you, but it was no use. Your voice was only a faint whisper at this size. Fortunately, she had picked up some magic on her previous adventurers, one that let her communicate with someone at a distance.
“Lemme use a communication spell so we can actually talk to each other, alright?” she says as she begins doing a strange chant. Once she finished chanting, you felt a golden glow briefly envelope both your bodies.
“Can you hear me now?” you ask her. She smiles and excitedly nods.
You briefly go over the events of last night, including the defeat of Zolthar. Diane’s face shifted from shock, to fear, to relief as you told your story.
“I can’t believe all that happened to you! I didn’t feel a thing in my sleep. I have to say, that was a rather unique way of beating him. I don’t think I've ever… eaten someone before, but I suppose if it works, it works!”
As if right on schedule, Diane’s stomach grumbled. “Hehe, guess Zolthar wasn’t very filling huh?” she said with a slight blush. “Let’s have some breakfast first, and then figure out what to do from there.”
She placed you on her shoulder, and made her way over to her backpack. Each step shook you a bit, but you managed to keep a good grip on her shoulder. After digging through it for a bit, she pulled out a bowl of trail mix. She sat down on the ground and began eating, handing you some small pieces as well.
As you finished eating a raisin, you moved forwards to pick up the next piece of food she left you on her shoulder. Unfortunately, it was at this moment Diane let out a small sneeze, causing you to lose your footing.
