it really is starting to feel like death is coming for us with the way it is going but I know we can find a way out of this sohow.
"A path, that’s all we need," Zeno speaks up while looking around.
A path out of here would be great if one existed but I don’t think there’s one that goes up...
"I think there’s sothing over there," Alia says while pointing to the right of us.
I look to the right, thinking it was covered by zierel but I can see an opening within the wall.
"That might actually be our way out of here after all," I reply with so hope in my voice.
"Let’s go before it disappears on us!" Zeno shouts.
I give him a hand as we all begin to make our way for the hole in the wall. It appears to be a tunnel but there’s no real way for us to figure out where it leads.
But Alia is helping get Zeno through this while Airi watches out back, keeping an eye out for any lingering zierel.
"Hopefully this tunnel leads out sowhere," Airi says with so worry in her voice.
"I’m sure it does," I reply, trying to reassure her a bit.
"Let’s just focus on getting ahead of the army behind us," Zeno chis in.
We continue to walk for quite so ti until another open room finally appears. Inside of the room is a bunch of old equipnt, but why would it be down here?
"I see the way out," Alia speaks up while pointing towards a dim light by a ladder.
I don’t even hesitate to make my way for the ladder instead of waiting around. My main focus is getting the hell out of here before more zierel can arrive.
As I reach the ladder I take a look back towards the hole we ca through.
"Help get Zeno up first," I say while pulling my sword back out.
I don’t like the thought of staying back but letting him die would haunt . I’d rather get him out of here before I climb out myself.
I’m pretty positive we put so distance between us and then for now anyway. I really hope I’ll be able to fight armies of them one day... Not that it is a possibility.
Even light bearers couldn’t stop them so what could I possibly do?
"Light bearers are quite interesting," Celeste speaks up with a calm tone.
I’d say so, I barely know a damn thing about them. They are strong, yet I can’t seem to understand why they never pushed the zierel back.
"Fate wasn’t on their side," Celeste responds.
Fate feels like it isn’t on my side either... Then again I keep surviving situations where I should be dead. That alone makes think the complete opposite.
Maybe fate will work in my favor when it cos to wiping out the zierel. I have hope for that at least.
"Liam you can co up now," Airi says while beginning to climb the ladder.
I turn around to see them making good progress on the climb so I begin to follow behind them.
Each ti I grab another handle it feels like it wants to break on , the ladder is definitely older than I thought. It doesn’t stop from climbing as fast as I can.
The sound of zierel below is quite motivating so I’ll definitely keep my attention towards the top.
"Hopefully we reach sothing soon," Zeno says loud enough for us all to hear.
"Getting tired?" Airi teases.
"The damage might be catching up but I’ll be fine," He answers calmly.
"I’m surprised a ladder is even here," I chi in.
"Soone’s looking out for us is how I see it," Airi responds with relief in her voice.
"Exactly why we need to make sure we get out in one piece," Zeno says with a serious tone.
I don’t really know how much was truly accomplished by killing that thing in the pit since the feeling is still lingering around . Even though we killed the hybrid, it still feels as if sothing is off.
It might just be the way the pit feels at all tis so maybe it isn’t a problem.
Airi or Zeno would’ve said sothing if they thought a problem was still around for us to handle... Unless the army of zierel is causing them to think otherwise.
That would make sense right now.
After a bit more climbing we finally reach a stopping point.
Hyup.
I pull myself up to see another small room that appears to be so sort of broadcasting room. Everything is broken or without power though so it doesn’t really matter.
But a door is across the room for us to go through.
"Let’s just take a small breather," Zeno advises while leaning against the wall.
I can see blood still visibly going down his legs and a bit down his chest.
"Let stop the bleeding for you," Alia says softly.
She walks over and manages to use her power to stop the bleeding for the ti being before we take a mont to recoup.
"Liam help block off this ladder," Airi says with a serious tone.
I don’t even say anything and just go over to help her block everything off. We put a bunch of old crates over it so that the zierel below can’t get to us.
It probably won’t hold them for a long ti but we definitely won’t be around by then.
I take a seat on the ground and look back towards my arm. The veins aren’t really going crazy like before... Maybe I’ll finally get a break from the strange pressure.
"It was risky, but you did good," Airi says with a more positive tone.
I look towards her with about of confusion.
"You an how I helped fight against the hybrid?" I question.
"Yes. You did a good job," Airi responds with a smile.
"I just couldn’t sit around while you two do all the fighting again," I say softly.
"Sotis it is all you can do," Airi replies while taking a seat herself.
"That might be true. I just don’t want it to be like the day my family died... I can’t go through all of that again," I say with a bit of sadness seeping through my voice.
Airi just gives a smile as my eyes linger towards Alia.
"You have nothing to worry about Liam," Airi assures .
"I appreciate the reassurance," I respond.
Fighting against monsters all the ti really does take a toll on your mind but I can’t help the thought of losing everyone again. It is the one constant fear that never seems to go away.
It is the very reason I left Tess behind in the first place... Yet I can’t get away from people. They are all getting close to again and I don’t know if that’ll be a good thing or not.
Death follows everywhere I go.
I close my eyes for a little while after that final thought disappears... Getting so sleep before we continue our journey out of this place.
It doesn’t feel like I’m asleep for very long, especially since I wake up to the sight of Alia next to .
"Just making sure you’re not turning into a Zierel," Alia assures as she stares at my arm again.
"I won’t turn into a monster. I can promise you that much," I reply with confidence.
Celeste would’ve taken over a long ti ago if she really wanted to or if she could. I don’t really have to worry about her trying to do that.
She’s been on my side with everything since the mont she started speaking to . Mostly the urge to kill is what initially brought us to talking with each other... Sothing I never used to think about.
"I believe you, for now," Alia says before standing back up.
I notice that Zeno and Airi are both up like usual, they always seem to wake up before we do.
"Heading out through this door is the only real option we have," Airi speaks with a serious tone.
"Then out we go," I respond while standing up myself now.
She opens up the door and begins to lead the way, showing another tunnel through the door.
As we walk through the new tunnel I can see a small glimr of light in the distance, almost like soone put up sothing. But upon reaching the end of the tunnel I see sothing weird.
"How is this even here?" Airi questions with a bit of confusion in her voice.
"Honestly I was wondering the sa thing as you," Zeno responds with confusion in his voice as well.
I don’t really understand what’s going on right now but they know sothing about the strange statue in front of us. This place is making less and less sense by the second....
