Following strange creatures into dark passages probably wasn’t the best idea I’d ever had, and when we rounded into a narrower tunnel, I was even more certain of that as a distant scream echoed out of the dark. I fell still, glancing back at Galomp, his eyes shining with the reflection of my Faelight as he came to a halt too. “Tell me you heard the scream this time?” I whispered despite the silencing shield around us. “No screams, Miss Everest,” he said, shaking his head sadly like he was more upset about disappointing me than the potential horrors that awaited us at the end of this passage.
