She tries. She really, really tries. There’s a visceral sense of relief in running from something scary and being faster than it. It can’t catch her unless she slows down. And this sprinting is barely registering as effort. She’s safe.
As she runs directly away from the Sky worm, Lilian has time to think. She doesn’t particularly use that time, for the first little bit, until she’s far enough away that the need to run run run isn’t distracting her too much. But eventually, she has time to think.
Lilian is lost in a strange place that honestly seems to deserve her moniker of Fungus Hell. She should probably work on making that not the case? She has vague recollections of plant monsters and things that live in forests, so probably the whole world isn’t composed entirely of Fungus Hell, land of horrible giant flying tentacle monsters?
She feels a vague sense of foreboding in her mind when she thinks the phrase “Fungus Hell”. Is there a worse Fungus Hell floating around somewhere out there?
Regrettably, her fuzzy memories assure her that yes, there is.
Well, at the very least she needs to escape this particular Fungus Hell. She can worry about Somehow Even Worse Fungus Hell later.
By the looks of the shadows on the ground, she’s heading just about due east. She can keep that up for the next few days, if she needs to.
