Cel's hand froze mid-thrust, blade still buried in the tooth's socket.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoPgkveogN
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQDecYDrym
Another tremor. The walls around him contracted slightly, muscle tensing beneath slick tissue.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVONXOk66l
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BVFLyZEBC
'Shit.'269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgTWHMgDyQ
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xN1cgNQIc
It was waking up.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbjjVSIjXT
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuppdFZuj3E
He wrenched Silent Moon free and scanned the darkness, mind racing. The plan he'd formulated while carving teeth - what to do if the creature woke - crystallized with sudden urgency. 269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspOsx32Avv
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoD1vuIYt3
The nearest empty socket gaped perhaps three steps away, a hollow wound in the creature's flesh where he'd torn free a tooth. Dark. Deep enough to wedge himself in.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GA8HsvkMl
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vi5V7a6QZ
Cel dismissed Silent Moon with a thought. The blade dissolved into moonlight threads that unraveled and vanished, plunging him into absolute darkness. His left hand shot out, fingers finding the slick floor, using touch alone to orient himself.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcEnI9yUln
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTgpWz9Fll
Three steps. He counted them in his mind as he scrambled forward on hands and knees.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc59RGNyxw
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YrGNmS9xE
The floor bucked beneath him.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVgs27WWnn
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHtvXX8wqv
With purposeful motion, the creature surged forward. Cel's body pitched sideways as the throat tilted at a steep angle.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNezOK7xbk
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqZI4Lfh5W
His fingers found the socket's edge.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyNjtkFnZs
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw3oa6OQv6
Without hesitation, he pulled himself up and into the hollow wound. Wet flesh yielded around him as he squeezed into the space where bone had once anchored. The socket was deeper than expected - he had to wedge himself in completely, pressing his back against one side while his knees dug into the other.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMDhIYjPTH
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVPYguEh97
Barely enough room. But enough.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVUqdXKKRH
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpsTa6jGUZ
The walls contracted around him.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr7W9Z3B80
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqNFPArp4B
Pressure built from all sides as the creature's muscles tensed, squeezing the socket closed like a fist. The meat pressed against his chest, his shoulders, his skull - not crushing, but confining. Holding him in place with suffocating firmness.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzepXhQDloE
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1PXkxFNpj
Cel forced himself to breathe slowly through his nose. Unease clawed at the edges of his thoughts, but he shoved it down.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3e67hUY9i
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCY5C3FZaR
'Why did it wake?'269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76fsr14mPD
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS97OjUcaJk
Had it finally noticed the missing teeth? Felt the wounds in its jaw and realized something was wrong?269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabNSSHTEby
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7kZiL1WcB
Or was this unrelated? Had it simply finished digesting its previous meal and decided to hunt again?269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxFpFSHfG8
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOZRQCYi9w
The creature dove.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrKroAp3u6
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6ntQzp581
The motion was immediate and violent - a massive lunge that sent Cel's stomach lurching. His body compressed further into the socket as momentum pressed him backward, the flesh around him flexing and shifting with each powerful movement.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Sde5NL57W
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcHE1RCE0O
Through stone. Through earth. The same terrifying descent he'd experienced before, except now he wasn't dangling by a frozen hand.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ0n8pa34s
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTiJzntM4g
The teeth he'd carved free tumbled past his hiding spot. Their weight was insignificant to the creature, but Cel heard them clattering down the throat like massive dice thrown by something vast and indifferent.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjncsyRmwi
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcmrHUVDps
Debris began to flow - stone fragments, packed earth , ash torn loose by the creature's passage through the Ashlands. All of it funneled through the open maw in a deadly stream, whistling past the socket where Cel pressed himself as flat as possible.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoEoa1dcB5
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF05NwytLN
A chunk of stone struck the tooth next to his hiding spot with a crack that made his ears ring. Another grazed the socket's edge, so close he felt the displaced air against his face.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblCkcR0kqQ
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfudfKxXXTI
But he was safe.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph3luKRyug
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF4V2txtUO
Hidden in this hollow he'd created, protected by the very flesh he'd wounded.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yQJ6U81o4
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVExAxvZqV5
The creature twisted violently, spiraling through some obstacle. Cel's world became pure sensation - pressure from all sides, the sickening lurch of his stomach as gravity lost meaning, the thunder of debris cascading through the throat around him.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6COQo3xgSX
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB1eWdicDI
His ribs ached where the socket walls compressed them. His left hand throbbed where the hilt's friction had worn through skin. Even breathing required conscious effort as the confining space limited how deeply his lungs could expand.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF0eHkfZBI
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqMMCxIuVZ
But compared to hanging by a frozen hand while debris battered his skull?269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ139EnHfmZe
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHh7w8a4dD
This was luxury.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRlWT8b4G1
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOcNu7mATZ
Time stretched. The journey felt endless - the creature diving deeper, then leveling out, then diving again in patterns Cel couldn't predict or understand.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2IeBqOHVE
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0j4aSaWYe
His mind drifted to the question he'd been avoiding. 269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7kMmZcLLw
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDAcjUshrS
'What happens when it surfaces?'269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbrW4ikG2f
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjllfRzSqGN
The creature would open its mouth eventually. To breathe. To hunt. To do whatever massive predators did when they emerged from their lairs.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs0lzN1jAd
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqTGW5auvV
And when that happened, he'd have his chance.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMAAa4sZ4S
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIGpZaI4ZY
The gap he'd carved was wide enough now. Not comfortable, not safe - but passable. He could squeeze through those remaining teeth if he was careful. If he was fast.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJGS6otl4u
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0GfokXbks
If luck favored him for once in this cursed realm.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMV113dIlY
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQadFjqzTv
But should he try?269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSrbz5HbTp
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp0PSe10Sl
He could stay. Carve out more teeth - another ten, maybe twenty. Make the gap wider, safer. Or use the time differently. Master the strength he couldn't yet control. Learn to wield Silent Moon properly.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3PfI98xqe
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib3k1xqCs6
The thought had its appeal.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtoMmj0vBu
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAYEmI4dUu
As crazy as it sounded, he had everything here. Meat from the walls whenever hunger struck. Ice from Frostmark whenever thirst clawed at him. Safety from every possible threat that prowled the Ashlands above.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3NWJiLsWR
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcduCywTP7
He could wait. Survive. Endure until... what?269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1pN40L6hA
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzIRrLTYRJ
'Until I perfect my technique? Until the worm dies of old age? Until I go mad from living in darkness?'269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS3NWGZtGJ
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm7OkbYxE9
No.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wz0xVCoTV
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHcKrD1QDA
His jaw clenched.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2HczM8qzl
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTkBJF8Zml
He hadn't survived a year of torture, hadn't endured the crystal maze's horrors, hadn't destroyed his own reflection and died beneath the moon - all just to rot away hiding in a worm's mouth.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6Aa95ADyQ
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu3KLfBw5G
The creature had given him shelter, yes. 269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxvpPvEbEW
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaTgpdEwEv
But this wasn't living.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk73IKMTfoq
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9ruRBAlEF
This was another kind of prison. Darker than the cell. Wetter than the cultists' stone floors. But a prison nonetheless.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC8tmgUg8p
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBW7dOtnqq
And he was done with prisons.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEZgvf63Tk
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLiiD2hvGU
When the creature surfaced, he would run. Escape through the gap he'd carved with his own blood and blade. Take his chances with whatever waited in the Ashlands rather than rot in this living tomb.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzsQmeRAMt
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5EJ88z4i3
The decision settled over him like armor.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDNo8qAzUb
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfHM8gLgDH
Not because escape was safe. Not because his odds were good.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH5OzA3HI0
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnHZ6JANN8
But because his father still drew breath. Because Darian still wore the family crest. Because his mother still pretended she'd been helpless. Because the cultists still walked free. Every moment spent cowering in this living tomb was another moment they lived unpunished for what they did.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj8sRGctOY
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55Rjy2pFYw
The thought was unbearable.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz46xIwalCU
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ssOc9dXrk
His fingers curled against the socket's flesh, nails digging in slightly.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYZlgTGXRD
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKpWlhq2LD
'I'm coming for you. All of you.'269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzamkpqnqkN
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQQVTIHUjc
The creature's movement began to change. The diving motion shifted to something more horizontal. Leveling out.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPiGFvbk7o
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdfMtROL6n
Rising.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZswz0sE3lu
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVocow3JXYn
Cel's heart hammered against his ribs. His entire body tensed despite the confining space.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRkYoxVXx5
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroHRQ9HApd
The ascent felt different - smoother, more controlled. Not the violent plunge he'd experienced before. Just the steady rise of something ancient and assured.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb5PXPrkdf
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU4sryX1Up
Muscles coiled tighter with each passing moment. His left hand flexed, testing his grip despite having nothing to hold. His legs pressed harder against the socket walls, ready to push off the instant freedom appeared.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLo9dlHOGJ
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPKhKggYXs
The pressure around him shifted as the throat angled upward more steeply.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBtgqzXfUx
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1uzp90hgk
Then they broke through.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCknnI5fJh
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaSnRNKj54
Cel felt it through the flesh surrounding him - the massive jaw unhinging, circular muscles relaxing their death grip. Faint light filtered through the gaps between teeth, growing brighter as the opening widened.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Am4eTToaR
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1lIAkJvYI
Silver light.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsLtKczrri
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbmsB9sdI0
Moonlight.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQTLN8Czym
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xkCHJ5GIP
The realization struck him a heartbeat before the sensation did.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uJnOhoCe1
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiEfVOR67V
Something ignited in his chest - not burning, not painful, but spreading. Like liquid lightning replacing blood in his veins. The exhaustion that had been pressing down on him lifted, simply gone, as if someone had cut the strings of a puppet and replaced them with something that didn't break.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2FSD9gMhn
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC4wK5ydq6
His muscles didn't feel stronger. They felt eager. Ready. Like they'd been sleeping and had just woken hungry.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0an69rfRV2
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF5rWc65QS
Lunar Vigor.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIDooU1x2v
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwhl7iNPyu
The moon was nearly full.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB6EVoeebR
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkVlnHkDku
Cel's lips pulled back from his teeth in a feral grin.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTYpCdEgjb
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR1zA6g7vm
The maw yawned wider - light flooding in, bright enough now that he could see the throat's ribbed walls, the remaining teeth like pillars framing the exit to freedom.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKbtxy7hMv
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjGHEurJfI
And in the center of it all, something fell through the opening.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHihvtXrHHh
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vcAgBHnUV
Fast. Thrashing. Screaming.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY14M4g7Vn
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S9pvXbtyT
A smaller creature - stone-like skin and too-long arms - tumbled into the maw in a tangle of limbs. Its eyeless head whipped side to side, needle teeth flexing in panic as it realized where it had landed.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO59jdCx2nF
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BahI7D5RM
The maw snapped shut.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC6bLH4DzE
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU3g9F7Pjq
Darkness slammed back down like a fist. The silver moonlight vanished behind rows of teeth, leaving only the faintest ghostly glow filtering through the gaps.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1tKoEqCZo
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMGdPl2h48
Cel froze in his socket, heart hammering, every muscle still coiled to spring—269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHnJ9E0zcZ
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqoLIGLMW1
A wet tearing sound, the scrape of claws on flesh, then a shriek - high and piercing, metal dragged across bone.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48U4kwoUKq
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7HagZbmfK
Through the dying light, Cel glimpsed movement - a silhouette thrashing wildly. One of its grotesquely long arms was torn away, spinning through the air before disappearing into the stomach below.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0h387R9Zg
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgEb1FnW1o
But instead of sliding down with it, the creature caught itself. 269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw8XijSVbr
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S9oYFCbQc
Its remaining claws sank deep into the throat's walls - into the gap where Cel had carved away the teeth.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa2acitRHh
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMKH7LjKC5
If those teeth had still been there, the creature would have been shredded. Ground between hundreds of interlocking bone pillars as it tumbled toward the stomach - just like the other creature before. 269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS60UyhJtWZ
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVRqghmMeg
But Cel had removed the grinder.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4OI8Wp027
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AlZJnnCYy
Created a gap wide enough to slip through.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENE3D8Lff3
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovNS8PmUQ1
It shrieked again, louder, and began tearing at the flesh that held it - ripping, clawing, destroying everything within reach in blind animal panic.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWMxucdmWH
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTssCVJTq9I
Blood sprayed. The throat convulsed.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRExraiOmdJ
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3t2dvveMt
Cel pressed himself deeper into the socket as the violence exploded around him.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5tlIvl4qC
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlie4lsmwkT
He couldn't summon Silent Moon. The socket squeezed too tight - there wasn't room to wield a blade. His arms were pinned. His legs compressed.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY6JgL2P8x
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkejsxmhFIU
And even if he could fight—269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiIwtOAKQL
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxQjkz0Rcp
The worm's entire body shuddered.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz0SwusWdG
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCN7SUn48e
Massive. Violent.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCGqTOcftK
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFQsmPGwVV
The pain from the smaller creature's claws had finally registered. The predator that had swallowed stone and earth without reaction, that hadn't even noticed twenty missing teeth, was writhing from wounds carved into its inner flesh.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxHVHehc26
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyB5nbxtYZ
The throat contracted. Expanded. Contracted again in peristaltic waves that tried to force the prey deeper, to crush it, to end the assault.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TBLxOAGQm
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsgZNtT759
But the creature held fast, shrieking and tearing with renewed frenzy.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPy1qoLp49
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59TUp0ONbB
Cel's world became chaos. He was thrown against one side of the socket, then the other, as the worm thrashed. 269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLqG0gTHy6
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Cou4mDv40
The smaller creature's violence echoed through the darkness in layers of sound - shrieks, wet tearing, the grind of claws on flesh.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRpc0a7SZJ
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWrrh2b697
Fighting now would be suicide. Blind. Squeezed. While two creatures battled around him.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xnv2hVwyg
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlacxz3zs24
So Cel did the only thing he could.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx7hQ6EE66
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SKRTParWX
He held on. Pressed himself into the socket's flesh. Made himself small, still, invisible.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvqtqhyewp
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v5NdFT0PX
And waited.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6ilTxQqVM
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgHh0nKGrP
The worm's movement changed.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGfTPfxUGw
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyGtuTD5Ma
Rising again.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkjqZ7odTL
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoR21rjL5U
Fast.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9aBeqIgUA
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiNHFb40C8
The throat tilted sharply as the creature rocketed upward. Acceleration hammered through Cel's body. The smaller creature shrieked, claws tearing frantically at flesh.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqG6s4Tzvh
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CDC6QH0Fq
Then they broke through.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvID89WfAv
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg1fqOygEI
The maw flew open.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZCmqvgpbC
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W902cZiEB
Silver moonlight flooded in like a waterfall, so bright after the darkness that Cel's eyes watered. The night sky stretched above, stars scattered across black, and that nearly-full moon hanging like a pearl.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa2qwsZyno
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmVP5nEFy8
But he barely registered it.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vAdNXTujf
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GavQxshw3
Because the air had changed.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr6NG4IZEk
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZJrvslEK7
Heat rolled up from below - thick, chemical, wrong. The kind of heat that didn't come from fire but from something older. Something that dissolved rather than burned.269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeUEZ34erF
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTSLgXr2ZI
Red light ignited in the depths of the worm’s throat.
