The next morning they left to the mountains. Sharp jolts coursed through her back as she stood. Should be healed by now.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAz6ZLWOqfMj
Through the white ... all that was visible was Parcival's blue cloak flapping in the wind. A strong gust pushed her back.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAxwTj0Vgo4y
He took hold of her hand, then turned and plowed ahead.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAApCcGTTP0i
Han slid back keeling as another gust pushed on them.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAwCKRu8vs40
She extended her hand to him.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAbmsjsbOKvk
Han took it mouthing: 'Thanks.'
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAa4FzsyEGQH
She nodded.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANADiHAz6y1Zl
They linked as a chain and proceeded up the path.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAMWDU2dipgT
The blizzard reduced visibility to only a few feet. She squinted hard. A punishment from Olenus?
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAnZS2WH0PpW
Gripping Parcival's shoulder, she pointed to the left at a large fissure on the mountainside, everyone squeezed into the opening.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA1AxfaLO6Hr
She exhaled and shivered.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANABNdFSGVxSE
"I want to ask you something," Parcival said.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAX4byoS5mKL
She gingerly laid back against the stone. "What is it?" Her shoulders tensed.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAGrwrTBkpeq
He faced to the side quiet for a moment.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAHD7yetgNP6
"You died. I saw it. The priest was crazy, but still, without him, you'd still be dead."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZYRtFJe0z
Merryn fiddled with a loose threadbare tie on her boot.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAMURssxtBmE
"He hurt me." She clenched her jaw. Not hating him was hard. She breathed in and whispered a quick prayer.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAfkKLZf5cLd
His brow deepening between his eyes, the ridges gave a deeper air of seriousness than usual.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAIkuDnWXYXz
"I want you to come with me. This infection is causing something, it's damaging more than just your body."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAL2G5NO9P0p
Infection? You could be called that.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA8NzP7KtNoy
He will die first.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAjYXpqSXJPg
Doubt it.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAe8lZLMZ9q0
"And, where?"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANASNA79WkjaT
"Back to my city Luna-jer."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAQTfqP24yK4
"I doubt much could be done. I'll think about it. That's enough talk. I need to rest."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAly05XJT3Vk
Leaning back, she fell asleep as soon as her eyes closed.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAXPcty7nfXh

1098Please respect copyright.PENANA7IeuURHtqh
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAA3SkZcc1Do
When the storm stopped it was nighttime.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANABDjoo4s50a
They exited the crack.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA6MA8V5dfn2
Finally. Further, up the path, it widened dipping into a small cavern opening.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAGOY9fyjeQ0
The storm moaned one last time as if in lament to its end. A few feet later the opening widened. Standing and, dusting off her clothing.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAyxy7OhaXV6
"Wow, look at the size of this place." Parcival leaned over and whistled. "Deep too."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANABQCn3ZmULV
Two large wooden pegs were in front where the path ended, a rope ladder hung off the ends of them down into the lightless depths.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAeYbRNSEwpz
Hmm. Going to need a bright one, that's for sure. Instead of just waving her hands, she traced a rune on her palm with a bit of charcoal in a pouch. Blood was best for this, but this will do. She pressed both palms together and envisioned the light globe.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANALq51NvQWFz
"Luminous!"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAeIaLwhckx8
The runes warmed on her palms before fading away, spent.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAqMFoAn7isx
"If we go this path we should be out of these caves by nightfall," Parcival said.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAtAwz3sJ4we

1098Please respect copyright.PENANAO1QZZmQfkP
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAABHZbZj68n
1098Please respect copyright.PENANANh3tA13GpN
They made their way through a passageway on the right that winded down further.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAnmWRlxcA2d
A low and deep growling sound about mid-bridge. Her ears stood straight up.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAYFoqmLEZIT
Not good. Everything was still stiff and hurt, so casting the speed spell would probably break the bones again.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANACeM2QJT78g
The beast smiled. Saliva dripped from its canines.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAHr5snLsiHr
Really sharp fangs. Mouth dry she rolled her tongue around. It took up most of the cavern, it's tail curled to its paws.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA2XavzC0zRX
"Backup. Back up now. No! Don't freeze up. Move!"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA4YiF0u9LUw
The beast sighed. It stretched its limb over to Han. With surprising agility, it hooked, its claw under Han's belt dangling him over the bridge.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAXB07lCwBC1
"I wonder what you taste like. Sweet or salty?" It paused to lick the drool that dripped off its lip. It sniffed Han.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAUdyky5TGl3
Think, damn it.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAB9zapYqn9d
Han kicked at its nose, missed and spun around, but his shirt twisting.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANANcUKxaFcTI
"I taste awful very rotten. Like Jupern Berries."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAkoTY6GARkZ
Ah!
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAg0y4GPzaMD
The beast licked Han's side.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANACm6PtUmjfa
"You don't taste like them." Tilting its head and opening its jaws wide, it dangled Han over its gaping maw.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA7YtO9iSQiZ
Merryn gripped the bridge's sides and went closer.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAJm7ZCil5cd
"Surely, you don't want such a puny, hairy, man thing as that in your mouth, do you?"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAMNcFnUKpdz
Standing tall she struck a flippant pose.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA4F0y7OFxWl
"Don't eat me!" Han said. He shook violently.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAFf6CQNQziQ
The beast narrowed its eyes at her, "You are in no position to decide, snippet!"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA0hmn2xz1E1
"A suggestion, nothing more." She shrugged. Masking the pain from her face, as the back complained.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAuQktkbn3X1
It brought Hans feet inside his mouth. Han covered his eyes and shuddered, his tail proofed out, quivering.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAdZfwi6kbpZ
"By no means, would I dare to tell one as great as you what to do with a meal. It's just that-oh, never mind."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAkAmJovpMvG
Her fingers icy cold she forced them to unfurl before turning aside. Hoping its curiosity was as great as its pride.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA18k9GwrYBF
Parcival's eyebrows raised high at this, then he nodded at the beast.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA2xXyTyOolr
"I've heard his kind gives such terrible heartburn, not that you'd have to worry about that."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANARpLCedvwVO
The Behemoth closed its mouth while scratching behind a furry ear. It sat there with a stony glare.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAzD9cjo1yqC
"You remind me of another annoying forest elf. In fact, you look exactly like her." It swished its tail.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAZOr04MjXeF
"A meal will help, I never think well on an empty stomach."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAcR1nqG1Fvg
It brought Han nearer to its face, then bounced him on its talon. "Heartburn doesn't bother me."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAvDm91a6EWv
"You are mistaken, oh great one. For this is our first meeting."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANANx2O04PJW0
She shrugged. "You deserve far better than a stringy cat-man." You overgrown rat.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA8HauKk2LSs
Its eyes were slits as thin as a razor's edge.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAzbi4kKoefz
"My hunger dulls my mind, unlike your flattery, that is clear. You sound and act much like her. Do not insult my intelligence."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAX9i6FVV6tp
Think, hurry up. She held her hands out, palms faced up. She smiled and tried to look honest.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANApSzxscSl3o
"It is no flattery! You are truly grand, I've never seen the like. Now you insult mine honor."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANATneapGOeDU
The cavern filled with a deep guttering rumbles.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAJQiVy1VWDW
Oh, it's laughing!
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAeheAfZ6LHn
The creatures grinned, showing it's umpteen double rows of pointed teeth.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAQoiCBy3gqE
"You know, he does look as if he'd be stringy."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA2NTQ7npSW7
She tilted forward.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANATENfj6SwoC
"Well, if you'd like I could find you something more appetizing." While smiling sweetly at it.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAS6oNsvDkUg
Sweat trickled down the back of her neck.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANApRojyTLPgX
Its eyes gleamed. Without a word, it placed Han down on the ledge. In an instant, it hooked her under the band of her leather armor and now she dangled over the bridge.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAdPpeZ0cXe5
"You're so very right. Why eat that, when another that's so plump and meaty is so close?"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAmfJ5jfYF0Z
It poked a claw at her breast and her legs. The stench of its breath was vile.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAmJsEdJ9L5X
She tried to slow her breaths and stay calm. "Y-o-ou misunderstood me. What of the fleshy Graluv's that graze outside, in the valley below?"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAxHjENaQRWO
It huffed at her wetting her cheeks with snot, "Hoo-Hoo! What? And let three easy meals go?"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA22txjMKnja
It poked at the wall next to it with a claw easily. It swung her over to the hole, and with its other paw jammed the tip of her shoulder armor into the hole, locking her in place. The creature reached for Parcival and turned its head.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAT3VoZq3393
Marryn twisted, kicked and pushed on the stone. Arrg!
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAxfm8wJEyse
Han stood up, his knees together. He pulled out his saber from his belt loop running up to the beast, jumped and slashed out with his saber. A direct hit cut its nose wide open. Blood squirted out and ran down.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAF8ja6TcOQy
Nice.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAWNsLMzJDNu
"Get him, Han!"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAbVei0hlt1u
Han winked and made an exaggerated bowing motion complete with hand roll.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAO6YcVYaj95
So cheeky! She smiled working at the stone around her shoulder. She dug a dagger into a crack. The stone wouldn't budge. Sawing on the leather while watching the beast.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAM2e9k7UAg4
The blow not powerful enough to do any real damage, but it had to hurt.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAyuYfNWMujo
The creature turned to roar in Han's face.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAEaV16y7U0B
Her ears rang.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA6x8LAaTwQv
Han cupped his ears.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAKh7bH1J4v8
The beast's eyes smoldered. It smashed the top of the exit to the right with its paw.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANApvgv6Ael7s
The cave wall broke into chunks and blocked the exit. It flipped its tail, sending Han over the side into the depths.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA1TO8kXeMWN
"Han!"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANACUxW3ybgRG
She pulled, on the stuck armor. Break already! The Behemoth laid its paw on top of her and snorted.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANApuzCkIW2qQ
She froze.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANArkUXqIn1Ak
"Ah, so you do care for the ocelot one."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAMJsnugr5ZW
She sniffed indulgently. "Ha! Of course not. Would a dog care for a flea?"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA8tL24C0wF7
"Hey, I resent that," Han said.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAmbDfhXc7Tr
Parcival began to pad to the other end of the bridge.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA0j0rjrs2sf
Infernum's short whiskers twitched. He snaked around shoving his face into Parcival's. His breath fogged up Parcival's thick circlet.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANABEnmI4WXiA
"Not so quiet as you imagined you were human."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANANmHQVUDNrp
He grabbed at him with its gigantic free paw. It tossed him against the wall where he smashed into it. He slid down against it, stunned.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA8qJqPUsqUl
She hacked at the armor, it split and cracked, one last tug.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAbfwGPd3Wne
"Your honor is but a sham!"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA3YmGmnIAHM
Infernum turned to scrutinize her, "What do you know of honor? I the mighty Infernum am honorable! It is you who has none entering my home without permission!"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA4IcwmX6v5W
She tugged, dropping down.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAKIlDH0plHV
Infernum wrapped its tail around Parcival's torso, hanging him upside down. Parcival's sword slipped free of its scabbard and ricocheted off the edge the ledge.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA7dwLHSkRrY
Parcival gripped Infernum's tail tightly. "Merrlyn!"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAz1oQG3bgyZ
The Ancient-heart inched up again. Calm down. Calm down.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA2WQxqCWjUZ
"Let him down. Or you will rue this day." Her voice lowered an octave, she punctuated each word slowly.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAMOB5j3Y7MU
Ah, this is what the dark ones did. Interesting. How about a little push vessel?
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAkmeMWYhgBo
No.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANASCiJQNWSeq
Force of will alone won't hold it back forever. That day will come soon.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANArt0r0thanb
Stop distracting me.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAXD2bXZa25l
Take care of it then.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA0qsUiVOcJg
She pulled her daggers out of their sheaths.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAovScnJuMAQ
"I don't bargain. Tell me now, or watch him die like the other," Infernum said.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAWExRSkbYcx
"I'm done being nice. Pucker formallys and pucker the blow to you!"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAqZGfwn9G4T
She raced over to him, bounding over, jumped on his hindquarters, and landed on his back. Then yanked his furry ear.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAowBLDzJUCd
Her dagger split its ear in half. Black blood oozed from the wound.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAXQ2r0VP8Y1
Infernum roared.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAgle03Oca0K
"You little Brat!"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAdihSdA3hMs
She scrabbled forward leaning over the top of its head pointing a dagger between his eyes.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAE2tycuvSd4
"Then how 'bout this, let us see how far I can plunge this into your brain. Does that suit you better?"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAHqDcNPOWcQ
Infernum's eyes crossed. "I'll give you twenty-four hours to leave my cavern."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAuF8NrpcEIM
"Perhaps now is not the time to argue with him," Parcival said.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAiwOZcI0CNJ
He arched his arms behind him, in an attempt to keep the cape from wrapping around his face.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAyauRIWJa0c
"I'll make you a deal. Interested?" I beg you Olenus, help us.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAbgz5HxXEV7
"A deal with my lunch? Now you insult me!"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAsuxRWQ4c9G
He swung Parcival like a pendulum.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAENZRkLlkMU
She turned her head. "Well then, Infernum we have nothing to discuss, finish it."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA2UqRuHaes1
"Ah, the little priestess remembers. This pleases me, that you choose the truth."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA9qllLGjP5E
Infernum set Parcival down on the ledge next to her. It rolled its eyes and snorted.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAEBgJCBul5V
"What could you possibly have to interest me?"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAUqdrN4kEmh
A quick glance at Parcival, still there, good.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAYYRaORStgP
"I was thinking that very thing. I was thinking how vulnerable you must feel when sleeping."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANARsZva94NeY
"Is that a threat?" He growled, blowing hot breath from his muzzle.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAN8kJyZpwMR
"Oh, no, it's just well-them."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA08romWaUvJ
"Them? Who is them?"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAEkl84bmike
He pinched her shoulder with the points of two claws. She winced.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAXIkxyeqo8u
"Didn't you hear? You must have by now!"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAyOt2KxKgvi
"little elf tell me or ..." He let Parcival slip before tightening the tail.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA7b1H2KEJ6c
"Let him go, and I'll tell you."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANACEfV4Joi16
"Let him go?" He dangled Parcival further over the abyss.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAxY5TLSGi4l
"Them. The rumors in the towns lately, someone or something has been killing off the big five. So far three are dead. The last dragon, chimera, and unicorn."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAfSwSkZD8T4
Before he replied she leapt off, landing by Parcival, slashed
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAA8uRlWUwl8
"It's about time. Have any idea how much that hurt?"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAaZYi0nGKfc
She elbowed him in the ribs. "Shut up, and jump!"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAQJTqXmcWBd
"I'm not jumping down there!" he looked at her with wide eyes.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAfcu6xtkrD8
I thought he had caught on? She pulled on his arm, sending him over the edge. Then dove after him.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANANKLrVZBjtV
"Little Elvin! Finish what were to say, or burn!
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAUhhuQQvKR0
Marryln fell for what felt like an eternity, then splashed into a deep lake in the cavern. She swam up breaking the surface, then gasped drawing in a burning breath.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAZ66sIoNqfG
Han is there at the edge of the water sitting on his haunches shivering.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAjE0kTTocyu
Immediately, Parcival whizzed down, smashing his chest on a small ledge. He bounced off it, splashed into the lake and sank. Dregs of the chamber pot! Is he dead? Don't be dead ...
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAHcXXU5hSjt
She dived after him. She wrapped her arms around his chest and fought against his weight, while her lungs screamed for air. She pulled him, dragging him to the edge of the lake.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAHatBfYdvHf
Han jumped out of the lake and helped.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANACt56APsh1M
"Have to get his chest armor off, and check him for any injuries."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAm2tvHk5Iu0
Han pointed to the large dent on the side of the armor.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANACBq6KMsdYs
She pushed him upright and undid the buckles on the left side. He flopped out onto his back, groaning.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANABwOpC21lMM
"Sit him up again."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANARp0H5pUPWv
With him upright again, he worked the vest padding off and rolled up his shirt.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAfcZybU1AXv
His right side was red, swollen and already turning a blueish green. Han ran his furry hands up and down his sided, making softly mewing. The tip of his tail twitched.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAw399dFPQUk
"Feels like he has about three ribs broken. Come on lets us move him over here. I'll start healing him." He pointed to a dry area ahead.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAg2Anp4HK3C
"This is going to take a while, stand guard."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAvYmbmGjeGb
"All right."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAD9eXxaIWpp
He chanted a spell, then spread his hands, placing them on Parcival's side.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAteOE5HDgcT
A few hours after, she paced the cavern from the edge of the lake to the northern wall.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAvyD71RWaTA
Later that morning Han stopped and rolled down Parcival's shirt.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAvYGSCRDT1g
Parcival moaned.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANACMLKSlDdwM
"Don't move!" Han pushed on his chest. "You're still healing, rest."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA10HqM9WVEN
He grunted. "Oy! That beast, completely distasteful. How long have I been out?"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAglUGzfPb6w
"About twenty-eight hours," she said. Distasteful? A corner of her lip quirked. A novel way to take it.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAAdxSpJchUD
They locked looks. He seemed colder, more distant. Must be angry, I let him fall.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAlOnufpEJcI
The cavern above rumbled and a handful of rocks came tumbling down. A blast of air wormed its way down the cavern tunnel Growing louder each second. She covered her ears.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAiBfpysKxFV
Parcival pushed himself upright and clenched his jaw. "Let's go."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAFtloIWbxpp
"You're going to hurt yourself, lay down!" Han said.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAaCZIy5Gb3Z
His tail swished back and forth. As another roar torpedoed down throughout the cave and his ears flattened.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA31hEojMQyL
"You can't heal what's dead. I'll look for a way out you stay with him."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAmjVu0uKzjT
Merryn searched around the area by the lake, there were no passageways to be seen, only a dead end.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANApeXamyyXTA
Walking back over to the lake she knelt down, and peered deep into the water, spying what looked like another cavern entrance.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA1s1RLUIcnd
"Over here!"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAd3NpWajFUs
"I'll follow you later, give me a few minutes."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAalGLFtiAPv
"I thought you were tougher than that."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAkANB4dis3B
She ran over to him pulling his left arm over her shoulder and helped him up.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAG81wplFvBo
"Come on, move!"
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAbQyep1pJ4h
Han ran back over to the cavern wall ahead, where his pack is on the ground.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAKyNBKmBoe2
"Han, leave it," she said.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA1kg1810hRo
"I need it! Go, I'll be right behind you."
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAb1qAWn82kJ
They worked their way down to the underwater cavern entrance, that is off to the right.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAjGlPgGV25m
Several seconds later, there's a dull thump from above, the whole cavern rumbled and they dodged several stalactites that came crashing down.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAhs94SHrAfX
She swam between the falling ones and prayed to the wind spirits to grant her haste. She lost a little air, and bubbles came out of her mouth.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAVPO32URkxv
Parcival nodded. He took some weight off of her by leaning to the right.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAKbJRyCeuGd
So tired. She slowed but kept going.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAinnJfG3dmV
She gripped his hand that hung down on her shoulder and went deeper forward dodging the falling chunks.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANAGi5fvxbi3W
Behind her, she spotted Han struggling to swim far back behind her.
1098Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ppfma44DN
Infernum a sleek linear forum twisted in the water.
