Lunar Legacy - Chapter 28: Hollow Refuge

Cel's hand froze mid-thrust, blade still buried in the tooth's socket.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwBwQfuhto
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYywqm4ydV
Another tremor. The walls around him contracted slightly, muscle tensing beneath slick tissue.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPUenZOR7H
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oaDpyYwre
'Shit.'125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvyeCrb8pk
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uGq2SRzgl
It was waking up.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea4Lb5z70s
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIfrUvxU3V
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. 125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgshVNKaiv
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDnfEfAHdn
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXttBXrdpgc
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkj1Dwdc1E
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtttaEy3mO0
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoa0l2NjYa
Three steps. He counted them in his mind as he scrambled forward on hands and knees.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJtg0is70k
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvvsevU3nK
The floor bucked beneath him.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxoamtVupt
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzV3TIVGDN
With purposeful motion, the creature surged forward. Cel's body pitched sideways as the throat tilted at a steep angle.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo6VXDF8B7
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jlmO5usQ0
His fingers found the socket's edge.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAFhXQbj0D
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFhoSOuebu
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bRnARs5aJ
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfcHy8qkO1
Barely enough room. But enough.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN3TjJxq2q
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY5CTxZ0lO
The walls contracted around him.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDPgBF2nOa
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XJb8Pey4N
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKmxzhMbqp
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ktmNnsdwu
Cel forced himself to breathe slowly through his nose. Unease clawed at the edges of his thoughts, but he shoved it down.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MT5QVoTVK
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsAwNBmrQI
'Why did it wake?'125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsftydbJDp7
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aDteYhV5C
Had it finally noticed the missing teeth? Felt the wounds in its jaw and realized something was wrong?125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLias5iWw0L
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9LVHMSFn0
Or was this unrelated? Had it simply finished digesting its previous meal and decided to hunt again?125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qnPEWWAvu
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w59rYqBvW
The creature dove.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FJC7Hc2Lt
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXJjqLJOIe
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhBA5zGft1
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlGujSH66U
Through stone. Through earth. The same terrifying descent he'd experienced before, except now he wasn't dangling by a frozen hand.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWzERLu2Th
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybqgtTqhMd
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq8XETHDt3
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST76BXq5sC
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1v86fSRFA
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4SuTYDc0e
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoaQxA17y8
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG3XLxvNRd
But he was safe.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzwd9F8MaL
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXDfsqBSCF
Hidden in this hollow he'd created, protected by the very flesh he'd wounded.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z2VG3lCt9
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVrYU0qFhx
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrTuEvqfzt
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2pc8VmHEd
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMDjpDebkI
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9RPoBu80w
But compared to hanging by a frozen hand while debris battered his skull?125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tym5QzqZD
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tHxyooZYd
This was luxury.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DUQLUA3X0
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O8nD9r3cK
Time stretched. The journey felt endless - the creature diving deeper, then leveling out, then diving again in patterns Cel couldn't predict or understand.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GpJ1kldHk
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHwczClZSs
His mind drifted to the question he'd been avoiding. 125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAJVHjsxiz
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46J8ipEzuY
'What happens when it surfaces?'125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfX1CeRigJ
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhD7gNOQ5L
The creature would open its mouth eventually. To breathe. To hunt. To do whatever massive predators did when they emerged from their lairs.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoFVBMRJZz
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63HEFGE1Y4
And when that happened, he'd have his chance.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFXsLwoWQ7
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPhtuOrY7c
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyhWKjRJrJ
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoIJz2eh55
If luck favored him for once in this cursed realm.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH82HAKVNHE
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGcYOlNbUO
But should he try?125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxigg8sP2da
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYOjYMen5P
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tohxdtth8
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOIfEhNC3e
The thought had its appeal.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLswwhPA0iX
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl3VKF2rmB
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dN3wehd2k
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qvnExgwTe
He could wait. Survive. Endure until... what?125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSQsHqfjjv
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsHiph1CDC
'Until I perfect my technique? Until the worm dies of old age? Until I go mad from living in darkness?'125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pkOo9TryG
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUsQDqPnXa
No.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEp5vI3opK
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR7BIQipEA
His jaw clenched.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXNXTfmdm0
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6r51KG7T3
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbx6IvNTyI
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0JG7yaAgP
The creature had given him shelter, yes. 125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dkUKiKHFf
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1SiuVMNIu
But this wasn't living.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo6VTdihzU
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoI4nMKRK9
This was another kind of prison. Darker than the cell. Wetter than the cultists' stone floors. But a prison nonetheless.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Om1NZckGr
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdhKVPwvXt
And he was done with prisons.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMWyzcQiGp
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOFVTWeBza
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJjt3bW09k
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHYvGz7qyu
The decision settled over him like armor.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ527oKnRfhM
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkvuJ3b2nt
Not because escape was safe. Not because his odds were good.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYUc7BkGB7
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDWu6X2tXa
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJJppWuCur
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfly7XV6PcH
The thought was unbearable.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENtQcGQBh8
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlcbAcUdtU
His fingers curled against the socket's flesh, nails digging in slightly.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8znhex6uO
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie9Owjk81r
'I'm coming for you. All of you.'125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGxoLKSb6T
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxWxhg0d75
The creature's movement began to change. The diving motion shifted to something more horizontal. Leveling out.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDlX65KpNn
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebYzwzTYVf
Rising.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q28bzaYUY
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ8vsNoLia
Cel's heart hammered against his ribs. His entire body tensed despite the confining space.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMHUUqWAzi
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0pbq3FMH5
The ascent felt different - smoother, more controlled. Not the violent plunge he'd experienced before. Just the steady rise of something ancient and assured.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7dvDREMcy
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRePKmwWdk
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmYcPrDr8F
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJZJsCChcv
The pressure around him shifted as the throat angled upward more steeply.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9t4T2RaFp
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QSYJxZxwS
Then they broke through.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxPoivNpXq
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkzhlrkH95
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyBtTERRA7
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQojIKfUAU
Silver light.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFBBsXC8so
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo2WN4YtQ3
Moonlight.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y8V0anIuX
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP6rtKjS1g
The realization struck him a heartbeat before the sensation did.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoggakaCo8e
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepFIopxKuT
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgDmSehQHB
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3D901KteC
His muscles didn't feel stronger. They felt eager. Ready. Like they'd been sleeping and had just woken hungry.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvjjm1fLvL
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqSavZV4qZ
Lunar Vigor.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD7C9hRLBD
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83WoZPiICb
The moon was nearly full.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxImc2V1RTY
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCxbMMMwyF
Cel's lips pulled back from his teeth in a feral grin.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNilSPQQbDu
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCNF4X9BcA
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oMxq3nNh9
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj6cKT8EZQ
And in the center of it all, something fell through the opening.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE5e4ogVEB
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOwVoedRd3
Fast. Thrashing. Screaming.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzSbtOZMAi
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51ykUw8UeI
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzMMuXX4vG
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMppkkn9cZ
The maw snapped shut.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4V6KWSSFU
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIha1eHeNG
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVhvV5dJC9
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtsNWYtxpD
Cel froze in his socket, heart hammering, every muscle still coiled to spring—125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCC9mhZ6KN
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqEMjPyb0y
A wet tearing sound, the scrape of claws on flesh, then a shriek - high and piercing, metal dragged across bone.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXVrgufrEq
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtrsjQUpR9
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXQHo5c02y
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27HU3wl1VT
But instead of sliding down with it, the creature caught itself. 125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPGtmBDVdP
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HhGKvS3to
Its remaining claws sank deep into the throat's walls - into the gap where Cel had carved away the teeth.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0sl3nfoRm
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuB9m1pLRB
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. 125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQesEjIPPkB
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcjOg5YeLX
But Cel had removed the grinder.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3400eM3Zu
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlccgS58G7j
Created a gap wide enough to slip through.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1zTRfP7Ck
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdxbQdD6tc
It shrieked again, louder, and began tearing at the flesh that held it - ripping, clawing, destroying everything within reach in blind animal panic.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqJjYm1zi9
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLvzvyVMAg
Blood sprayed. The throat convulsed.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnG4aXOJdA
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuValwEm5e
Cel pressed himself deeper into the socket as the violence exploded around him.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4rjRHBF86
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk2TwH3sD9
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwlHsGtiLP
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp9H4UgpRk
And even if he could fight—125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5r5K9ikXY
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxw6OjipxA
The worm's entire body shuddered.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdITzYorfja
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7WLt1Vnbo
Massive. Violent.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ7LfsnTAC
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rstnvz4H6
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sgQ4plirY
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0iBIuGKca
The throat contracted. Expanded. Contracted again in peristaltic waves that tried to force the prey deeper, to crush it, to end the assault.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5I7Txjxns
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1apsZijwGF
But the creature held fast, shrieking and tearing with renewed frenzy.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfK3SMufWP
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WLYvymPXZ
Cel's world became chaos. He was thrown against one side of the socket, then the other, as the worm thrashed. 125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjLueWjcxY
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8LuVbqRWJ
The smaller creature's violence echoed through the darkness in layers of sound - shrieks, wet tearing, the grind of claws on flesh.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6WGCx4RaG
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEzoVBctyQ
Fighting now would be suicide. Blind. Squeezed. While two creatures battled around him.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHQtBAe7vG
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxFcOgxWGm
So Cel did the only thing he could.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9D4dJcfOv
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12kt5YQbYx
He held on. Pressed himself into the socket's flesh. Made himself small, still, invisible.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3omsjjQh5q
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBxDM4n0nv
And waited.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjXn5orN2n
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGVeHuFaL6
The worm's movement changed.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUIRiSWcfF
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23U7zB2dZW
Rising again.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h8SwUXlE5
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFrwmgGAtr
Fast.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRpvRIbr71
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi8Qmo1HKy
The throat tilted sharply as the creature rocketed upward. Acceleration hammered through Cel's body. The smaller creature shrieked, claws tearing frantically at flesh.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5j5LyhbX8
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79gqTQ5uy4
Then they broke through.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzaAskD7Nh
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaG9voGEOX
The maw flew open.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCUPjAx5uh
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd2HP6cp9T
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TeF8rnBXq
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNVu7bVs2W
But he barely registered it.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQJYkOwrSE
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNK2LnAxgj
Because the air had changed.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX4T65hFik
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ms2ICCiBg
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.125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43Bg3I5kFm
125Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoTYI68CTS
Red light ignited in the depths of the worm’s throat.
