The Bullfrog Experiment

Lumos was an odd child. Growing up in the basement of the Tower, never seeing the light of day. He grew to admire odd hobbies and interesting beings. An affectionate friend of his was the bullfrog that lived in the damp corners of the room Lumos slept in. They would run around in the darkness, playing hide and seek for hours upon hours. As Lumos grew older, he begin to resent his bullfrog companion as he was able to sneak out of the tower through the small cracks in the basement.

Although Lumos loved the Tower, it was his home after all, he yearned for more. For the outside. Locked in since birth, he thought he would never have the chance to witness the world beyond. The Runiverse. On one quite depressive day, an idea came to him. The bullfrog would sometimes shed its skin, and with it, a slime of potent nature. To the touch of a wizard's hand, it burned and singed the skin.

Lumos began collecting this slime in the glass beakers that were left behind by the last wizard locked in the basement. After he had a dozen beakers full, he tied each one in a line, attaching the final beaker to the bullfrogs back leg. If his plan were to be successful, the next time the bullfrog escapes out into the beyond, he will carry the slimed beakers through the cracks in the walls, releasing the potent slime to slowly eat away at the bricks one by one on his way out.

A week had passed and the hole had grown wider and wider, nearly large enough for Lumos to begin his journey out into the beyond. His resentment soon turned to love for his bullfrog friend. Without him, the beyond would have forever been out of reach. Once it was time, Lumos, followed by his bullfrog, shimmied their way through the newly formed tunnel until light begin to shine through. One last push is all it took and Lumos had escaped the Tower. He looked down at his tattered clothes and his green flesh. Forever stained by the darkness of the Tower, but infinitely grateful for the chance to explore the beyond.
