Cel's hand froze mid-thrust, blade still buried in the tooth's socket.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql3PeG7t79
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot8iv4Uh63
Another tremor. The walls around him contracted slightly, muscle tensing beneath slick tissue.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS7zTTzcP5
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5KSTSk7Od
'Shit.'124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdbCctNHmJ
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkYqwzoE2X
It was waking up.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMKihhXnOK
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1icwrIqeVU
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. 124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnOmiIOR1h
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRZK2XtMvA
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT9VgCbzBC
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwFiDJnsNb
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtHHN97W9F
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5YANyhBXI
Three steps. He counted them in his mind as he scrambled forward on hands and knees.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMqbEEwmDo
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByovIk9hcB
The floor bucked beneath him.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2bLlpeWiw
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMzXUIbFv9
With purposeful motion, the creature surged forward. Cel's body pitched sideways as the throat tilted at a steep angle.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GPd56MFs5
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6SEzwEHqH
His fingers found the socket's edge.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWSVUCiA4v
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRqriKmdnu
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt19mPqLgRk
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCezTjTl3Y
Barely enough room. But enough.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm5DE9sExF
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65V9k7YFal
The walls contracted around him.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAhPiUX1Ni
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLjAr5dHSY
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2KPS4e7IQ
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCMEgO1ohr
Cel forced himself to breathe slowly through his nose. Unease clawed at the edges of his thoughts, but he shoved it down.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR0ZoXNzKJ
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBIjejj4b8
'Why did it wake?'124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkFOx6FX7c
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQOC7izA2G
Had it finally noticed the missing teeth? Felt the wounds in its jaw and realized something was wrong?124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHMQG5D661
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc2p0syqNd
Or was this unrelated? Had it simply finished digesting its previous meal and decided to hunt again?124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs1tAEkiyQ
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXEs1MvowS
The creature dove.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq9vsC7l1L
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00NumoLh2S
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtGjDjiPgx
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y3HTiZYVI
Through stone. Through earth. The same terrifying descent he'd experienced before, except now he wasn't dangling by a frozen hand.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZNvCAlm8C
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3p7io6D8g
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cWFspQo49
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCyYRoTz5Y
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMZsnI3G57
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ePtsVSj38
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9xhXBJATQ
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsECJfOFKhc
But he was safe.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukjIYqs8ak
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYYxt8SjMS
Hidden in this hollow he'd created, protected by the very flesh he'd wounded.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGcL5cFpSK
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtk0DNCtKn
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOr3kuu1ze
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLULuj7vZi
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bFufJWVgR
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHTZkDAHHe
But compared to hanging by a frozen hand while debris battered his skull?124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E2i5E2E56
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66dYU0AXiy
This was luxury.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWQyfGmkXc
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKxlXk681s
Time stretched. The journey felt endless - the creature diving deeper, then leveling out, then diving again in patterns Cel couldn't predict or understand.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Rk4BXdyuT
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16z0x4WvLG
His mind drifted to the question he'd been avoiding. 124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0WLf7wwsa
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XVp0XDIcD
'What happens when it surfaces?'124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPrlHaKRP7
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSLP1t28cw
The creature would open its mouth eventually. To breathe. To hunt. To do whatever massive predators did when they emerged from their lairs.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJElSRnt8I0
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzfDEAmJs6
And when that happened, he'd have his chance.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ykeoGXGiD
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvo6zKxMQh
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOecWGBDbaW
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC8PtcEqAR
If luck favored him for once in this cursed realm.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXvRdVIOGu
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUZUi8ZWWS
But should he try?124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPnk3mzzPW
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFdycUN4V9
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymUPLYwGkN
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepqOOVterQ
The thought had its appeal.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLAY9e8gUg
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f0BGVJfLW
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0Xfrph1nC
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32PWffRP93
He could wait. Survive. Endure until... what?124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViit85Z7Xi
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjruYwW28a
'Until I perfect my technique? Until the worm dies of old age? Until I go mad from living in darkness?'124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkatqQpXUMV
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5aqbZz4ep
No.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9yezHLzzI
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h9IMSKD9c
His jaw clenched.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPCwXfPAxz
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNFEPqQ3mZ
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspTaSjngGT
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVaMCkkOb7
The creature had given him shelter, yes. 124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKJZWoUpfQ
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgafemmhTEV
But this wasn't living.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JYe51BZ8X
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nHfHSnIw1
This was another kind of prison. Darker than the cell. Wetter than the cultists' stone floors. But a prison nonetheless.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SGXiBFJdk
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MXVGpjiTE
And he was done with prisons.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCK7rROwrQ
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDkpf54Ib6
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYyHw0Lkku
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWY1psrvJj
The decision settled over him like armor.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlk8FUNTQI
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte6mwb6lZQ
Not because escape was safe. Not because his odds were good.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcyJ8X6Zop
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lobQA3vT7
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTOoojF3Ku
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ8Uy78yqM
The thought was unbearable.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgp7Cf8iGe
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznwMgjRt5S
His fingers curled against the socket's flesh, nails digging in slightly.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfoj3t0Ns8
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C7fVGfo8I
'I'm coming for you. All of you.'124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OlKMlWAlV
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPCis6POBW
The creature's movement began to change. The diving motion shifted to something more horizontal. Leveling out.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX81WczlUSi
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru8IXyOOTD
Rising.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX2MRkaPE9
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYXbRMjuvo
Cel's heart hammered against his ribs. His entire body tensed despite the confining space.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbHI5eXNcO
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWMDHCJ65T
The ascent felt different - smoother, more controlled. Not the violent plunge he'd experienced before. Just the steady rise of something ancient and assured.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV5mjwAcCj
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7tgjQZMOY
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNfTDU9yR5
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBVs1XCXVW
The pressure around him shifted as the throat angled upward more steeply.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL4IBzef0V
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mmDdassSz
Then they broke through.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDlUGcUaLA
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0x0tJMObE
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPho0dPNWs
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGBefUnMMA
Silver light.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUulR2QUNdZ
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMYgBUG0Ge
Moonlight.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4ESRW8aAW
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8f0kQ6PkN
The realization struck him a heartbeat before the sensation did.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECoopc1Fbo
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbUmpI49VH
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAU2Kstu4Q
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobY0WQEBsV
His muscles didn't feel stronger. They felt eager. Ready. Like they'd been sleeping and had just woken hungry.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBetCDXUpf
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbuJIqeY3L
Lunar Vigor.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNJSI78gsX
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgyezDY0yv
The moon was nearly full.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsls7nym9P
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UeGdWAD88
Cel's lips pulled back from his teeth in a feral grin.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFrY09PBC3
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c2ZDRsQOq
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHI36EFFeU
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wq9qZIdsw
And in the center of it all, something fell through the opening.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENcsOTKMDW
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwkf9pXkXb
Fast. Thrashing. Screaming.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaKtWBTtHm
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdKgCgSC94
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREIpReGFYr
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiAACmirfY
The maw snapped shut.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ftHkUbXW6
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPWFf3JYJr
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKwFBNgbD7
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57vcPploV7
Cel froze in his socket, heart hammering, every muscle still coiled to spring—124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezTQSbkBhr
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDVnxJmBXh
A wet tearing sound, the scrape of claws on flesh, then a shriek - high and piercing, metal dragged across bone.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivq1MeiceW
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7wee3O4Td
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGwnf9aJX5
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTafzT7egMU
But instead of sliding down with it, the creature caught itself. 124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnTGFbBoVK
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDE1OThyDu
Its remaining claws sank deep into the throat's walls - into the gap where Cel had carved away the teeth.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZM9QyyI1d
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2qaP9kXAe
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. 124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkB1Op5rYy
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptyrpHuhzi
But Cel had removed the grinder.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j9CGxv7xX
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptSXBuh3ut
Created a gap wide enough to slip through.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiKoom4Woz
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ8pQAhOAs
It shrieked again, louder, and began tearing at the flesh that held it - ripping, clawing, destroying everything within reach in blind animal panic.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPcC8kIOAT
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE1DAOXcH8
Blood sprayed. The throat convulsed.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPNVy2sjfR
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwhiQYYYrQ
Cel pressed himself deeper into the socket as the violence exploded around him.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWVPOujP4S
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmf6M7qA6d
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad1NDkSk9e
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzO5EoyMYl
And even if he could fight—124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVAgi2xu0A
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFbyCVqFV6
The worm's entire body shuddered.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9lZI7Fd0l
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PCmhfGPx3
Massive. Violent.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS62tbRXBw
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp141pVNQgZ
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPdjzKrB0b
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw9ejWeeJB
The throat contracted. Expanded. Contracted again in peristaltic waves that tried to force the prey deeper, to crush it, to end the assault.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbZyoiflfD
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3HL8G5ftM
But the creature held fast, shrieking and tearing with renewed frenzy.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtppU2ZNyL
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgax1x4QXa
Cel's world became chaos. He was thrown against one side of the socket, then the other, as the worm thrashed. 124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmAx5KhJgL
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdcwzJs0Se
The smaller creature's violence echoed through the darkness in layers of sound - shrieks, wet tearing, the grind of claws on flesh.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcY5jNC6yH
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVWjkPVP1D
Fighting now would be suicide. Blind. Squeezed. While two creatures battled around him.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZYO7AzV8Y
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQX9o7B4VS
So Cel did the only thing he could.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FeHYU9UU1
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6ZMTr5odc
He held on. Pressed himself into the socket's flesh. Made himself small, still, invisible.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuoE3GjgWD
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOioa7fNKf
And waited.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9JPeNzdwk
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQfiktvFv6
The worm's movement changed.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnzvYKHY5I
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMrveXe3eU
Rising again.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAXiMGVDAc
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY9bSRsiVG
Fast.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo5YkvPhj5
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEbAJczTmX
The throat tilted sharply as the creature rocketed upward. Acceleration hammered through Cel's body. The smaller creature shrieked, claws tearing frantically at flesh.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87P39ah5V6
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc97rEj1m1w
Then they broke through.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBbP0Ox0yv
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs12LJb9RI
The maw flew open.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCc74zx5MO
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlDhkl1EgW
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTlqGVjyMe
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZThWZ5cFK
But he barely registered it.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH0iwB6P2h
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhGPvOebK9
Because the air had changed.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FFrt2ydnz
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3uHO4fFw1
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.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa6y8Xm9dj
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4tcFRkgL3
Red light ignited in the depths of the worm’s throat.
