The Mysterious Forest part 1

Periphirilia and Gorge are sitting behind the washed boat, providing them with cover from the wind; they have a small campfire going.

Although Periphirilia is a little uneasy, overall, she is doing well. Gorge, on the other hand, is terrified to death. As the night goes on, it's different than before, when it was completely silent, apart from fish or insects. They now frequently hear previously unheard sounds produced by unknown creatures. Every time the clouds pass the moon, they can see the shadows and silhouettes of strange beings moving all around them. Gorge is about to have a panic attack and is breathing very fast.

"Shhh, it's going to be okay," Periphirilia tries to calm him down
She hugs him.

"What did you expect to happen when we embarked on a journey along an uncharted river that traversed a yet unexplored forest?
Of course, there will be new animals; isn't the golden carp also a new species we are trying to discover? It's all part of the adventure. Just the two of us together will experience something that no person has ever done before. Isn't that romantic?"

Periphirilia closes her eyes a little and moves her head closer to the gorge's head. The gorge also moves his head closer to her; both have already puffed up their lips. -Badump

Their hearts are beating very fast; as they are about to kiss, all the clouds disperse, leaving a clear moon, shining light on the night, and then they see it, their facial expressions immediately drop completely from exited to being scared to death. 

Right in front of them, there is a creature standing in the bushes, the most repulsive scary-looking thing either of them has ever seen. It slightly resembled a human in appearance, a highly deformed one; that is, its skin is completely sagging, and it has a bird-like beak. Still, it's not a beak but a mammalian mouth filled with goat-like teeth. Its fat face, combined with its soggy skin, looks like a complete mess and a nightmarish blob made out of fat and skin. The creature seems to be slightly bigger than a tall adult human, and while it's not wide, it seems to be nothing but fat covering bones; not only can you not see even a speck of muscles, but it also looks like it has barely any features at all, it's standing just a couple of meters away from them, starring right at them with its huge dark circular eyes.

Periphirilia hugs Gorge tightly, covers his mouth with her hands, and whispers.

"No matter what happens, under no circumstances move or make a sound."

However, Gorge doesn't respond.

His eyes are filled with terror, and snot and tears stream down his face like a river.
Nevertheless, Periphirilia is also tearing up and attempting to avoid looking at the creature.

The creature begins to approach them.

Periphirlia looks at the Gorge, loosens up, and thinks.

Oh, no, I think Gorge has passed out. This could be very bad.
I hope the creature leaves soon.
I have never believed in legends or the golden carp and just wanted to travel together with George because why not? It sounds like a fun thing to do, right?
But please, Golden Carp, if you do exist somewhere, and if you can hear me, could you please make that thing go away?
Because that is my wish.

The creature went past them completely and is currently drinking water from the river.

Periphirilia believes that it is either blind, has poor vision, or has no interest in them at all.
The thing finished drinking and was walking away.

Thanks, Golden Carp! Haha, this must be your doing, right?

But then she hears it.

"Ahhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!"
A frighteningly loud scream.

Gorge awoke just as the creature passed by them, and it was now directly in front of them, staring at the couple with a gaze that felt as though it could see right through them like they were made out of glass.
It leaps at them, and Gorge and Periphirilia immediately begin running into the woods.

"Gorge !!!" With a tear-filled terrified face, screams Periphirilia.
"Do not let go of my hand, you understand?
No matter what happens, just don't let go, okay? Please"

Gorge nods as he's running, tears streaming from his eyes.

They run straight through brushes and tree branches, and their hands and legs are scratched everywhere.
The creature is chasing them right on their heels.

I don't want it to end like this.
It's all my fault.
I have already found my happiness, but I just had to find the golden carp as well.
It's all the fault of my greed.

Gorge gets overwhelmed by his negative thoughts as they are running. He also notices that they are passing a wide variety of creatures. All of them are staring at them as they run by.
If this keeps up, we're both done for.

Gorge suddenly lets go of the terrified Periphirilia's hand.

"Climb the tree right now; don't even try to argue!"

"But you promised!!!" shouts back Periphirilia.

"CLIMB IT!!!"

Periphirilia nods and starts climbing the tree.

Gorge looks at the creature and shouts.

"Hey, you stupid blob!" He screams while shaking.
"Catch me if you can, stupid!"

And starts sprinting forward with all his might.
Though he runs faster than ever before, his efforts are in vain.
The creature grabs his shoulder and causes him to fall.

"Let me go, you stupid idiot!" Screams Gorge

The creature winds up a lot and hits Gorge with both fists. Gorge ends up ricocheting over a meter from the ground and is just lying there lifeless as the monster walks back in the direction where Periphirilia is.

Gorge opens his eyes.

"Owwwwww, that hurt a lot!"

He checks himself; there are no injuries or blood.

Hmmm, I seem to be fine, he thinks to himself.
I never knew I was this durable.

"Hey, you stupid blob, come out here and face my power!" Shouts Gorge

The blob is moving towards him. But Gorge is frozen in place, looking up at the monster.

Frick, this thing is still scary; this is not going to work.

"Haha, follow me, you stupid!" screams Gorge as he's running away.

The blob monster is following him.

As they are running, Gorge notices a medium-sized sinkhole with a bunch of rocks inside of it.

"There!" He shouts out loudly, and as he comes near the very edge, he briefly stops and jumps. The blob monster running right behind failed to stop and let out a blood-curdling scream as it fell straight to the bottom.

"Owww!" Gorge checks for injuries

That's weird; I seem to be fine again.

Maybe I'm immortal?

"Gorge the immortal,"

 Hmm, that sounds cool.

Then he notices the creature slumped on the ground with very heavy injuries and barely breathing.
It looks straight at him and tries to get up but fails.

Gorge: "Haha, you can't handle my power."

Throws a couple of rocks at it.

"Well, I am off," Gorge starts climbing the side of the hole.

"Have fun, you moron!"

Wow, I'm even more amazing than I thought.

Gorges's arm reaches the edge of the pit,

Something feels warm and wet.

Omg, is this blood thinks Gorge?
He emerges from the pit and looks, which makes his heart fall. He is completely encircled by many terrifying creatures, such as a winged bison with a wolf's head drooling all over its body. They are all moving in his direction: an oddly human-like owl with a wild cat's head, an eagle rat, a bear with a moose's head, a strange-looking creature without an exoskeleton, skin, or flesh, dragging all of its organs behind it as it slithers.
Gorge smiles

"Now I'm truly done for."

Suddenly, he hears an all-too-familiar voice.

"Jump back into the pit !!!"

Gorge jumps without thinking.

He can see how the flames consume everything above the pit; even the sky above the hole is completely engulfed in flames.
He can hear the screams of every one of those creatures, and he can't help but be amazed by the sight of flames and the sound of numerous creature's screams.
I've never seen beauty like this before. It's completely new to me! Their screams are perfectly in sync with their burning bodies that are dancing in the flames.

"Are you okay in there?" asks Periphirilia

"Yeah."

Gorge looks around.

"Hey, that blob thing is still alive. The monster is lying, with most of its body completely crushed. Once the fire is out, you want to come down here and beat it up together?"

"No"

"Why not? It will be fun; aren't we supposed to be having fun over here?"

"What part of beating up that disgusting thing is even remotely considered fun?"

Gorge replies with full confidence.
"Trust me, that thing is just lying there, looking like it needs a good spanking.
It's basically screaming: Hiiiiiit Meeeee!
You might as well slap it around for a bit.
By the way, where did you get all that fire?"
