           Cackles Of An Enigma

The sound of the cackling echoed through the cave, and I couldn't help but feel drawn to it. My legs began moving without my conscious control, taking me closer to the source of the noise.

Howeve as I took a step towards the cackling everything around me suddenly darkened around me in an instant, and the weight of an unseen force pressed down on my body threatening to topple me over. I struggled to maintain my balance, my heart racing with fear and confusion.

I quickly realized that the Armour had shut down completely causing all of the weighg of the metal being reduced within the armour due specific mechanisms to stop working, causing the actuall full weight if the armour to set on my body, making it difficult to move.

The incessant cackling seemed to be directed at me, taunting me as I sank to the ground due to the weight, The darkness was all-consuming, rendering me blind and helpless, with only the sound of my own breathing and the cackling to keep me company.

"Jarvis..." i said as My voice trembled slightly as I called out into to the dark, I waited for a few seconds But there was no answer.

"Jarvis!"I said louder,  Frustration boiled over within me, and I bellowed Jarvis' name at the top of my lungs. The mocking laughter only grew louder, grating on my nerves and pushing me to the brink of insanity.

Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to calm down and assess the situation. Panicking would get me nowhere, and I needed to think clearly if I wanted to get out of here alive.

I let out a sigh as I thought about how Jarvis does not seem to be responding and my armour night vision... No The armour itself does not seem to be activated I thought as I looked at my chest and hands seeing no glow, confirming that my Armour was not activated.

Slight Panic began to set in once again as I realized that my lifeline, my armor, was not responding but I kept myself calm.

The Cackling gradually seemed to have been quieting down, leaving an eerie silence in its wake. I waited with bated breath, unsure of what was going to happen next with the thing making the cackling sound.

I on the other knew what I had to do next.

I reached for the spot where the arc reactor should be with my hands and and pushed the Arc reactor inside. To my relief, it sank inside, and the armor hummed to life once more.

The world around me was suddenly illuminated with light, I looked down at my chest and hands only to see  a brilliant blue glow radiating if my palms and the Triangle Arc reactor and I marveled at the contrast between the light and the darkness, I felt the weight of the armour reducing on my body as i felt lighter as i stood up once again and looked towards the dark tunnel ahead.

The feeling of being enveloped in the armor's protective embrace was comforting, and I felt a surge of confidence flow through me.

Standing tall, I made a conscious effort to steady my breathing, knowing that I couldn't afford any mistakes, I dint know what in that cave, I know what the Wendigo sounds like, and its crackles dies not sound anything like the ones I heard coming from the darkness.

The can only lead to a conclusion in my mind, There is something other than the Wendigo in here.

The thought of losing the armor's protection was too overwhelming to even contemplate. I had to trust my own instincts to see me through this.

As an added precaution, Preciously I had tasked Jarvis with creating an AI that could understand my voice commands and operate independently of hi, it is connected Manillay to the Armour do nothing can really block its connection to the Armour.

While it wasn't as advanced as Jarvis himself, it would still provide me with a lifeline in case of any unforeseen circumstances arise such ad Jarvis completely Disconnexting from the Armour. I knew it wasn't the most convenient solution, but in my current situation, it was the best I could do.

With the armor's protective shell enveloping me, I felt an overwhelming sense of security. Raising my head, I peered into the long, dark tunnel that stretched before me, and then turned to glance at the wall that had blocked my path earlier. I knew I had to move forward, even though the path ahead seemed treacherous and uncertain.

I looked back at the wall where I had entered through and Weighing my options, I realized that I didn't have much of a choice. I had to brave the dark, ominous tunnel ahead and hope for the best with what i have, I steeled myself for what lay ahead and decided to man up and started moving forward, each step measured and cautious.

One step, two steps, three steps...I counted each step carefully, trying to keep track of how far I had come. After ten steps, I paused to take a breath, and after thirty steps, I finally stopped.

I took a deep breath, turned on my heels and stood with my hands outstretched before me.

"Aim Target" I said as I put my hands outfront, My voice was steady. I took aim with my outstretched hands, my fingers poised and ready to unleash my power.

"Concentrated Blast, Maximum Power, Elo" I said and and in front of my eyes appeared a green tick from Elo the AI I created showing that my order had been accepted.

With a surge of energy, I unleashed a bright beam from my palms lightning up the entire cave as it hit the wall that had appeared when I entered here.

I dont know what going g deeper holds for me, it would be my foolishness to not even attempt an escape from here before facing whatever lies deeper into the tunnel.
