The silhouette reveals itself to be a female sphinx, with such gorgeous gold color that it could create light in the darkness of the dungeon.
Alex very slowly turns his belly to the sphinx, and asks: "uhhh... you food?"
the sphinx rhymed: "i am not food, because i taste like wood, and even if you could, which you definetly should, get a taste of my manhood"
Ed looked at Alex confused, but Alex's brain is too clogged to process a thought in that situation, so he just farts in agreement.
"State your business." Ed proclaims.
"business business i enjoy penis?" the sphinx said.
"this thing is hopeless, lets move on fatty"
"If you want to proceed, you must get my seed" the sphinx continued "The big moron and the little moron stood on the edge of a cliff. The big moron fell off, why didn't the little moron fall?"
"Uhh.. uhh... Why talk mee.... Uhhh... Me moron... Me fat?"
"Yes... yes you're fat" Ed and sphinx said in unison
After pondering for a while Ed's eyes turned blue
Without a moment of hesitation Ed gave an answer.
"The answer is because he was a little more on"
"You are so correct that now I am erect"
While ducking from the massive wood going his way Ed said, "I know, I can see it from here."
As the sphinx started digging in her butt "My rectum is loose, my butt plug is made of spruce"
Ed's eyes turned yellow as the sphinx handed him a seed. He gave a little lick in the seed and said "Tastes like shit." He then threw the seed back to the sphinx
Alex upon gazing at the tasty looking seed couldn't contain his desire to swallow it. He started bouncing with his huge belly and swallowed not only the seed but also the sphinx.
"Uhhhh..uhhhhh.... salty? uhhhh....food.. Me fat me food!"
After that, a big stony door opened. It seems there were two options to open it, by using the seed, or by defeating the guardian.
Ed and Alex proceded into the treasure room and found a sandwich shining a bright golden light. As Ed saw the artifact his eyes turned red.
"Yo, my Brave warrior Alex, I shall take the treasure with me, and I promise i will reward you with a feast most fascinat-"
"FOOOOODDDDDDDD!!!" with speed never seen before, alex plunged with all his fat towards the sandwich, consuming it all with a single bite.
Moments later, the sandwich appeared once again in his hands, receiving the same treatment as the one before. This process repeated countless times until he started inflating.
"Alex, stop, I told you...I Will reward you... just stop eating please."
The only response Ed received were small high pitched farts. Alex kept devouring the food without hesitation. Ed soon realised it was a lost cause trying to negotiate.
"Uhhhh... Foood.....uhh....faatt..." Alex said, his body now in a barely perceptible shape.
A man who had left it all behind in search of a meal worthy of his insatiable hunger had now at long last found it. Food that did not disapear after one bite, food that he couldn't ever hope to consume. His one dream, a buffet that would never end.
"Uhhh...me...happy...me..fat"
Ed, now hopeless of ever attaining the artifact, started admiring his brave friend, growing ever bigger.
"Uhhhh..thank...you.....friend....me.....fulfiled..."
Ed's eyes faintly turned yellow. He quickly leaned towards alex and gave him a kiss on the lips. Ed stuck his tongue out and took a piece of the sandwich, enough for him to get a good taste of it.
Ed's eyed turned fully red once again "WHY DID I FUCKING KISS THIS FAT GUY?" He started trying to clean his lips with his hand. "At least the sandwich tasted nice...."
"Uhh...I kinda liked that" Alex then made a gloomy expression "Run... My friend....While there is still time, while me still fat."
While still in disbelief, Ed started running to safety. Alex continued to ascend to a higher plane as Ed escaped. Alex then morphed into a black hole, decimating the whole cave.
After that, a path was opened to the exit of the cave and Ed headed back to the elder's house in Greenhold while angry about not having gained a single thing.
