Ch. 16 Rescue in the Ruins

[Jet]

The right path took Rai and Stark down a short hallway which eventually lead to a dead end. Just a blank wall preventing further movement. The only way to go, apparently was down. A square shaped tile was cut from the floor, leading to another passage. Even with Rai's light it was too dark to see how far the drop was. One of them kicked a stray pebble into the hole to test its depth and they were surprised to hear a splash. At least the landing impact would be negated.

Andraia had taken the left path which led to a round circular platform. She could feel an abundance of cool musky air above her, and upon looking up she determined that she was in some sort of elevation shaft. She could simply fly up, but when she reached the center of the platform it began to rise on its own accord. The shaft went up a long way, but before she grew bored two pairs of pantheons dropped from above: two rifle wielders and two of the new blade variety.
