The door groaned open, the sound grinding through the thick, damp air. Moisture clung to Ren's skin, the atmosphere of this place was heavy and suffocating exactly like being caught in a nasty nightmare. If not for Kai's steady presence beside her, sheer terror and revulsion might have driven her to collapse. Her fingers tightened around his, seeking an anchor as the darkness exhaled a stench that coiled in its throat. This place smelled like a dead marsh. Was it for the monster in that cell?
A gust of cold wind slithered through the chamber, making the torchlight waver, its flickering glow barely piercing the void ahead. They stepped forward, their movements were quite slow and deliberate and swallowed by the vastness of the cell. The far end was lost to shadows, but she could make out Agara and Rail standing to the left, Siamon lingering to the right.
