Due to deal restructure text to speech player is currently unavailable. Will find a solution soon.
284 – Abyss Lair
With Aro on my back, I kick off the edge of the cliff to jump down. I quickly spread my wings, slowing my fall as I cautiously face the bottom. I feel around with [Presence Perception], and as I draw closer to the bottom, I start recognising abyss presences. A cold chill runs down my spine. It feels like I’m getting goosebumps on my scales.
“Ve…” “Ve, ve… ve…”
“VeEe…”
Abysses cry out quietly from the bottom, their cries echoing off the chasm walls. The further down I go, the damper and darker it becomes. Before long, I’m able to see abysses crowding around the bottom.
I thought I’d gotten used to them, but with so many jostling about, it’s wearing away at my spirit. Perhaps to threaten me, they’re glaring at me while gnashing their teeth and drooling. I reflexively look away. More abysses come crawling out of holes in the cliff face and bare their hostility towards me.
…This distance should be enough. Get them good, Aro.
Aro was leaning forwards, her hand on my back to suck up magic power. I signal her with my eyes, and she responds with a slight nod, getting to her feet.
