The next morning they left to the mountains. Sharp jolts coursed through her back as she stood. Should be healed by now.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAOjDhQ58MS6
Through the white ... all that was visible was Parcival's blue cloak flapping in the wind. A strong gust pushed her back.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAAUH6q8k5HS
He took hold of her hand, then turned and plowed ahead.
840Please respect copyright.PENANA8QGBhH65MJ
Han slid back keeling as another gust pushed on them.
840Please respect copyright.PENANA20lM1I0Wnj
She extended her hand to him.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAupYIsNPHuL
Han took it mouthing: 'Thanks.'
840Please respect copyright.PENANAa9uKm69iS6
She nodded.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAHmpt4nTlzG
They linked as a chain and proceeded up the path.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAO13AEAMN30
The blizzard reduced visibility to only a few feet. She squinted hard. A punishment from Olenus?
840Please respect copyright.PENANArxPIa1gtaT
Gripping Parcival's shoulder, she pointed to the left at a large fissure on the mountainside, everyone squeezed into the opening.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAyd2jLgTfS2
She exhaled and shivered.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAwAKCO9hRqv
"I want to ask you something," Parcival said.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAw7ux9AfTnb
She gingerly laid back against the stone. "What is it?" Her shoulders tensed.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAgQyAYSioWl
He faced to the side quiet for a moment.
840Please respect copyright.PENANA047UKMBez0
"You died. I saw it. The priest was crazy, but still, without him, you'd still be dead."
840Please respect copyright.PENANA3utq3lpomZ
Merryn fiddled with a loose threadbare tie on her boot.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAqj4ePvtNsD
"He hurt me." She clenched her jaw. Not hating him was hard. She breathed in and whispered a quick prayer.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAgREakJPhcW
His brow deepening between his eyes, the ridges gave a deeper air of seriousness than usual.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAOKldJh3BFP
"I want you to come with me. This infection is causing something, it's damaging more than just your body."
840Please respect copyright.PENANA50MARhukHz
Infection? You could be called that.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAhtYpRjpCYg
He will die first.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAtxPbKYdyku
Doubt it.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAws1JK2QRKR
"And, where?"
840Please respect copyright.PENANA1WhUfEm3Mu
"Back to my city Luna-jer."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAA0MU7d9ttj
"I doubt much could be done. I'll think about it. That's enough talk. I need to rest."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAE4hiRljgDf
Leaning back, she fell asleep as soon as her eyes closed.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAYJJQdXlEpy

840Please respect copyright.PENANA1QWJyko4H9
When the storm stopped it was nighttime.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAZxcbhbvDvQ
They exited the crack.
840Please respect copyright.PENANATvomt3zqIl
Finally. Further, up the path, it widened dipping into a small cavern opening.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAjsmqF9pNK7
The storm moaned one last time as if in lament to its end. A few feet later the opening widened. Standing and, dusting off her clothing.
840Please respect copyright.PENANA9mxcl89zxN
"Wow, look at the size of this place." Parcival leaned over and whistled. "Deep too."
840Please respect copyright.PENANA1st95w7bwJ
Two large wooden pegs were in front where the path ended, a rope ladder hung off the ends of them down into the lightless depths.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAO9QR8aINCq
Hmm. Going to need a bright one, that's for sure. Instead of just waving her hands, she traced a rune on her palm with a bit of charcoal in a pouch. Blood was best for this, but this will do. She pressed both palms together and envisioned the light globe.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAyiiUlOYbL6
"Luminous!"
840Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ2GNdhC6g
The runes warmed on her palms before fading away, spent.
840Please respect copyright.PENANA7KVsZijMaW
"If we go this path we should be out of these caves by nightfall," Parcival said.

840Please respect copyright.PENANA7s8SmDgSIk
840Please respect copyright.PENANAu5MiBDTBk6
They made their way through a passageway on the right that winded down further.
840Please respect copyright.PENANASKyFgvkLDz
A low and deep growling sound about mid-bridge. Her ears stood straight up.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAL7Gx6IRj6B
Not good. Everything was still stiff and hurt, so casting the speed spell would probably break the bones again.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAdNdgpA9vgc
The beast smiled. Saliva dripped from its canines.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAOvxlUbrXGn
Really sharp fangs. Mouth dry she rolled her tongue around. It took up most of the cavern, it's tail curled to its paws.
840Please respect copyright.PENANA0mk0UFjeMv
"Backup. Back up now. No! Don't freeze up. Move!"
840Please respect copyright.PENANA7FvwxUUDFG
The beast sighed. It stretched its limb over to Han. With surprising agility, it hooked, its claw under Han's belt dangling him over the bridge.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAIo35AtoRQN
"I wonder what you taste like. Sweet or salty?" It paused to lick the drool that dripped off its lip. It sniffed Han.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAwS6yZeZmKY
Think, damn it.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAZQy9omLRm0
Han kicked at its nose, missed and spun around, but his shirt twisting.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAODhhY5o7DM
"I taste awful very rotten. Like Jupern Berries."
840Please respect copyright.PENANA73xboM0I6R
Ah!
840Please respect copyright.PENANAd8uYrP7STe
The beast licked Han's side.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAMpotS2Mo8m
"You don't taste like them." Tilting its head and opening its jaws wide, it dangled Han over its gaping maw.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAEJDPEq7LCD
Merryn gripped the bridge's sides and went closer.
840Please respect copyright.PENANA398lnPvh8P
"Surely, you don't want such a puny, hairy, man thing as that in your mouth, do you?"
840Please respect copyright.PENANALCHzohSaeG
Standing tall she struck a flippant pose.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAsD7T9QM5lF
"Don't eat me!" Han said. He shook violently.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAToFGwRTYBa
The beast narrowed its eyes at her, "You are in no position to decide, snippet!"
840Please respect copyright.PENANAc1Urmf2ahR
"A suggestion, nothing more." She shrugged. Masking the pain from her face, as the back complained.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAbHhLQYIwDq
It brought Hans feet inside his mouth. Han covered his eyes and shuddered, his tail proofed out, quivering.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAggXfenLbCP
"By no means, would I dare to tell one as great as you what to do with a meal. It's just that-oh, never mind."
840Please respect copyright.PENANANOJGKqkaTh
Her fingers icy cold she forced them to unfurl before turning aside. Hoping its curiosity was as great as its pride.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAvYXLNyFyQc
Parcival's eyebrows raised high at this, then he nodded at the beast.
840Please respect copyright.PENANA2SQbzkgQpD
"I've heard his kind gives such terrible heartburn, not that you'd have to worry about that."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAO4ceBWQUHX
The Behemoth closed its mouth while scratching behind a furry ear. It sat there with a stony glare.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAkNvtGCr5o5
"You remind me of another annoying forest elf. In fact, you look exactly like her." It swished its tail.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAxdB99F5hmV
"A meal will help, I never think well on an empty stomach."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAwR9rj0Vu6s
It brought Han nearer to its face, then bounced him on its talon. "Heartburn doesn't bother me."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAoPYlCwy8HI
"You are mistaken, oh great one. For this is our first meeting."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAO7DAw5jwyy
She shrugged. "You deserve far better than a stringy cat-man." You overgrown rat.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAc6gxt8yOus
Its eyes were slits as thin as a razor's edge.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAsk0G2Xp6GI
"My hunger dulls my mind, unlike your flattery, that is clear. You sound and act much like her. Do not insult my intelligence."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAUZwqCw8e1E
Think, hurry up. She held her hands out, palms faced up. She smiled and tried to look honest.
840Please respect copyright.PENANA6jicuadReX
"It is no flattery! You are truly grand, I've never seen the like. Now you insult mine honor."
840Please respect copyright.PENANA5BrLpSRvCk
The cavern filled with a deep guttering rumbles.
840Please respect copyright.PENANA5KQn1ZhLhO
Oh, it's laughing!
840Please respect copyright.PENANAxXFEMCGlCH
The creatures grinned, showing it's umpteen double rows of pointed teeth.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAAYHrwYHpoo
"You know, he does look as if he'd be stringy."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAqxrZQfhGSg
She tilted forward.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAGSHzA7tViy
"Well, if you'd like I could find you something more appetizing." While smiling sweetly at it.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAKatn8oNIpG
Sweat trickled down the back of her neck.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAAvM89QfYdS
Its eyes gleamed. Without a word, it placed Han down on the ledge. In an instant, it hooked her under the band of her leather armor and now she dangled over the bridge.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAKo34NEA1uw
"You're so very right. Why eat that, when another that's so plump and meaty is so close?"
840Please respect copyright.PENANAM1xA10DxqF
It poked a claw at her breast and her legs. The stench of its breath was vile.
840Please respect copyright.PENANA5HWV7MFQrA
She tried to slow her breaths and stay calm. "Y-o-ou misunderstood me. What of the fleshy Graluv's that graze outside, in the valley below?"
840Please respect copyright.PENANAx2KxBKoJm0
It huffed at her wetting her cheeks with snot, "Hoo-Hoo! What? And let three easy meals go?"
840Please respect copyright.PENANA45xruuvJ6B
It poked at the wall next to it with a claw easily. It swung her over to the hole, and with its other paw jammed the tip of her shoulder armor into the hole, locking her in place. The creature reached for Parcival and turned its head.
840Please respect copyright.PENANA90t0Eq1Ikv
Marryn twisted, kicked and pushed on the stone. Arrg!
840Please respect copyright.PENANADn1QbYOyEl
Han stood up, his knees together. He pulled out his saber from his belt loop running up to the beast, jumped and slashed out with his saber. A direct hit cut its nose wide open. Blood squirted out and ran down.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAM5Gd3bTsJZ
Nice.
840Please respect copyright.PENANA81Tx4JleoQ
"Get him, Han!"
840Please respect copyright.PENANADWAhG1tr3p
Han winked and made an exaggerated bowing motion complete with hand roll.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAXjkVxLNxRC
So cheeky! She smiled working at the stone around her shoulder. She dug a dagger into a crack. The stone wouldn't budge. Sawing on the leather while watching the beast.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAPXrAnSiGbH
The blow not powerful enough to do any real damage, but it had to hurt.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAhzPVwgGOwp
The creature turned to roar in Han's face.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAujHTP6GSq4
Her ears rang.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAKLY3FPLI5G
Han cupped his ears.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAvbbJo954tO
The beast's eyes smoldered. It smashed the top of the exit to the right with its paw.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAr5Hy1PfUHb
The cave wall broke into chunks and blocked the exit. It flipped its tail, sending Han over the side into the depths.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAW3vo05cDTJ
"Han!"
840Please respect copyright.PENANAs33RRuS4gf
She pulled, on the stuck armor. Break already! The Behemoth laid its paw on top of her and snorted.
840Please respect copyright.PENANACCG8pD4BNU
She froze.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAgpg09Ym07m
"Ah, so you do care for the ocelot one."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAjugbJJ7qVl
She sniffed indulgently. "Ha! Of course not. Would a dog care for a flea?"
840Please respect copyright.PENANAVYwvNefIEe
"Hey, I resent that," Han said.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAjgauafuVyr
Parcival began to pad to the other end of the bridge.
840Please respect copyright.PENANALUsuoJdDIS
Infernum's short whiskers twitched. He snaked around shoving his face into Parcival's. His breath fogged up Parcival's thick circlet.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAgXzo5XRhks
"Not so quiet as you imagined you were human."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAdemP3ZWgBU
He grabbed at him with its gigantic free paw. It tossed him against the wall where he smashed into it. He slid down against it, stunned.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAjEpYU6l4xF
She hacked at the armor, it split and cracked, one last tug.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAVkm6Diq18C
"Your honor is but a sham!"
840Please respect copyright.PENANAd2EqA41ReH
Infernum turned to scrutinize her, "What do you know of honor? I the mighty Infernum am honorable! It is you who has none entering my home without permission!"
840Please respect copyright.PENANAZUSqoBCSFd
She tugged, dropping down.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAifkSW2rXAM
Infernum wrapped its tail around Parcival's torso, hanging him upside down. Parcival's sword slipped free of its scabbard and ricocheted off the edge the ledge.
840Please respect copyright.PENANA70MTgaGKTo
Parcival gripped Infernum's tail tightly. "Merrlyn!"
840Please respect copyright.PENANA88AJlBvU5T
The Ancient-heart inched up again. Calm down. Calm down.
840Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z9Gav0CYu
"Let him down. Or you will rue this day." Her voice lowered an octave, she punctuated each word slowly.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAXOdNBgkHp9
Ah, this is what the dark ones did. Interesting. How about a little push vessel?
840Please respect copyright.PENANADsYd4950lL
No.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAJh2iBHYwBx
Force of will alone won't hold it back forever. That day will come soon.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAl7eiwT6WsS
Stop distracting me.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAd4im3mBoEz
Take care of it then.
840Please respect copyright.PENANALB1C8OY1mM
She pulled her daggers out of their sheaths.
840Please respect copyright.PENANA9V9ZUcpBgj
"I don't bargain. Tell me now, or watch him die like the other," Infernum said.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAbiSHhPPUK7
"I'm done being nice. Pucker formallys and pucker the blow to you!"
840Please respect copyright.PENANAUT9tKVIqsu
She raced over to him, bounding over, jumped on his hindquarters, and landed on his back. Then yanked his furry ear.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAOX8hJnND3E
Her dagger split its ear in half. Black blood oozed from the wound.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAOpyOehBUVm
Infernum roared.
840Please respect copyright.PENANArnMA0VoCB4
"You little Brat!"
840Please respect copyright.PENANAPqGRo8u3m2
She scrabbled forward leaning over the top of its head pointing a dagger between his eyes.
840Please respect copyright.PENANA8EDls3Vqe5
"Then how 'bout this, let us see how far I can plunge this into your brain. Does that suit you better?"
840Please respect copyright.PENANAPBFPISU59R
Infernum's eyes crossed. "I'll give you twenty-four hours to leave my cavern."
840Please respect copyright.PENANALYQ2WNis8H
"Perhaps now is not the time to argue with him," Parcival said.
840Please respect copyright.PENANANCPjSIJOIz
He arched his arms behind him, in an attempt to keep the cape from wrapping around his face.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAnDX4XB1wdE
"I'll make you a deal. Interested?" I beg you Olenus, help us.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAIOOBWadhCG
"A deal with my lunch? Now you insult me!"
840Please respect copyright.PENANAKeXZTlapSx
He swung Parcival like a pendulum.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAesYE03elBr
She turned her head. "Well then, Infernum we have nothing to discuss, finish it."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAUuXHr8KwIE
"Ah, the little priestess remembers. This pleases me, that you choose the truth."
840Please respect copyright.PENANA9RfUSggTvp
Infernum set Parcival down on the ledge next to her. It rolled its eyes and snorted.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAdgpMiL206j
"What could you possibly have to interest me?"
840Please respect copyright.PENANAy9ct1LMs32
A quick glance at Parcival, still there, good.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAJgZXB6B67B
"I was thinking that very thing. I was thinking how vulnerable you must feel when sleeping."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAmVG9rncBGV
"Is that a threat?" He growled, blowing hot breath from his muzzle.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAiFMeaBDM68
"Oh, no, it's just well-them."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAx5vLQTzXcS
"Them? Who is them?"
840Please respect copyright.PENANA44ja6QtiKS
He pinched her shoulder with the points of two claws. She winced.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAXDLv099hy4
"Didn't you hear? You must have by now!"
840Please respect copyright.PENANAYGEe3u4t6s
"little elf tell me or ..." He let Parcival slip before tightening the tail.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAMHn11WVkty
"Let him go, and I'll tell you."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAEwu60zDitw
"Let him go?" He dangled Parcival further over the abyss.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAMj2fB7HWEN
"Them. The rumors in the towns lately, someone or something has been killing off the big five. So far three are dead. The last dragon, chimera, and unicorn."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAroPIo3GhEJ
Before he replied she leapt off, landing by Parcival, slashed
840Please respect copyright.PENANAtXNtvK99W8
"It's about time. Have any idea how much that hurt?"
840Please respect copyright.PENANA5IJK4QNKWp
She elbowed him in the ribs. "Shut up, and jump!"
840Please respect copyright.PENANAvIOEcYhp9e
"I'm not jumping down there!" he looked at her with wide eyes.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAf751U2TjC3
I thought he had caught on? She pulled on his arm, sending him over the edge. Then dove after him.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAoosgumRRuU
"Little Elvin! Finish what were to say, or burn!
840Please respect copyright.PENANAuhb2OQS1Bv
Marryln fell for what felt like an eternity, then splashed into a deep lake in the cavern. She swam up breaking the surface, then gasped drawing in a burning breath.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAtjMR5RJGRG
Han is there at the edge of the water sitting on his haunches shivering.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAcNVDY3Vg63
Immediately, Parcival whizzed down, smashing his chest on a small ledge. He bounced off it, splashed into the lake and sank. Dregs of the chamber pot! Is he dead? Don't be dead ...
840Please respect copyright.PENANA2dzVwvnCYW
She dived after him. She wrapped her arms around his chest and fought against his weight, while her lungs screamed for air. She pulled him, dragging him to the edge of the lake.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAAhSNHNTYz2
Han jumped out of the lake and helped.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAAO3CIvy0cw
"Have to get his chest armor off, and check him for any injuries."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAjd0R4j1cfT
Han pointed to the large dent on the side of the armor.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAmiqnz8MiGh
She pushed him upright and undid the buckles on the left side. He flopped out onto his back, groaning.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAOUsPlzSLaX
"Sit him up again."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAu4grpMVPgs
With him upright again, he worked the vest padding off and rolled up his shirt.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAh0fwT420wt
His right side was red, swollen and already turning a blueish green. Han ran his furry hands up and down his sided, making softly mewing. The tip of his tail twitched.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAYgFWfr7U3O
"Feels like he has about three ribs broken. Come on lets us move him over here. I'll start healing him." He pointed to a dry area ahead.
840Please respect copyright.PENANArloyOpNNnN
"This is going to take a while, stand guard."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAkfKApqXrKj
"All right."
840Please respect copyright.PENANApmMnuLPe4l
He chanted a spell, then spread his hands, placing them on Parcival's side.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAryrxMJH0ur
A few hours after, she paced the cavern from the edge of the lake to the northern wall.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAp23rK39rKj
Later that morning Han stopped and rolled down Parcival's shirt.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAkD1Y5Wk3jH
Parcival moaned.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2qISofGp9
"Don't move!" Han pushed on his chest. "You're still healing, rest."
840Please respect copyright.PENANA2BbaEV9YMH
He grunted. "Oy! That beast, completely distasteful. How long have I been out?"
840Please respect copyright.PENANAA2kk4uWF5I
"About twenty-eight hours," she said. Distasteful? A corner of her lip quirked. A novel way to take it.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAWY3Q0rQ5Qd
They locked looks. He seemed colder, more distant. Must be angry, I let him fall.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAneLZbzeiBb
The cavern above rumbled and a handful of rocks came tumbling down. A blast of air wormed its way down the cavern tunnel Growing louder each second. She covered her ears.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAGy1MECyVCQ
Parcival pushed himself upright and clenched his jaw. "Let's go."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAgXzWVHi6N6
"You're going to hurt yourself, lay down!" Han said.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAxAeVmTHj9c
His tail swished back and forth. As another roar torpedoed down throughout the cave and his ears flattened.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAqaIbWk5fgL
"You can't heal what's dead. I'll look for a way out you stay with him."
840Please respect copyright.PENANACpvvcC3xL6
Merryn searched around the area by the lake, there were no passageways to be seen, only a dead end.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAAEF2gnpBtS
Walking back over to the lake she knelt down, and peered deep into the water, spying what looked like another cavern entrance.
840Please respect copyright.PENANA4Hj4DjADGk
"Over here!"
840Please respect copyright.PENANAiZCvqJQx6I
"I'll follow you later, give me a few minutes."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAn4WHp0XGQH
"I thought you were tougher than that."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAUi3pYfehrm
She ran over to him pulling his left arm over her shoulder and helped him up.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAmqAyLjr71B
"Come on, move!"
840Please respect copyright.PENANAlIq0F4JVj2
Han ran back over to the cavern wall ahead, where his pack is on the ground.
840Please respect copyright.PENANA15z2OOzclI
"Han, leave it," she said.
840Please respect copyright.PENANADNBeN2SdQN
"I need it! Go, I'll be right behind you."
840Please respect copyright.PENANAcD49qNiYhC
They worked their way down to the underwater cavern entrance, that is off to the right.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAlhTvf25nZJ
Several seconds later, there's a dull thump from above, the whole cavern rumbled and they dodged several stalactites that came crashing down.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAfzKTxGpl6K
She swam between the falling ones and prayed to the wind spirits to grant her haste. She lost a little air, and bubbles came out of her mouth.
840Please respect copyright.PENANALEcppP7ahU
Parcival nodded. He took some weight off of her by leaning to the right.
840Please respect copyright.PENANARKaTvnKSRt
So tired. She slowed but kept going.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAad3k0pEpja
She gripped his hand that hung down on her shoulder and went deeper forward dodging the falling chunks.
840Please respect copyright.PENANA9wsaGFMcmE
Behind her, she spotted Han struggling to swim far back behind her.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAxP271DqnyG
Infernum a sleek linear forum twisted in the water.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAb2SuNxXyxV
It whipped its tail out in front, just missing taking Hans head off.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAQNQEIvxUO7
Han's eyes bulged and a few bubbles escaped his mouth. He swam frantically.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAcoJ66Puaza
The falling stalactites and chunks of cavern ceiling that came crashing down.
840Please respect copyright.PENANAzUYW3kLRiZ
Infernum hidden behind the screen of murky water whipped his tail at Han.
840Please respect copyright.PENANANei6bDiP2h
The cavern ahead became another long tunnel. An opening, the blue sky reflected on the surface.
