Chapter 51: Arriving At Zarangar Valley"The air feels wrong." Samael’s voice pierced the casual rhythm of their march. Her words didn’t carry any urgency, however. "Could it be..."
She didn’t stop moving at first, but her expression dulled for a moment, eyes
Kivas grimaced, eyes fluttering open. "Still breathing. Still functional... Hehe. But something... didn’t like that. I think it tried to push me back..."
Samael held her for a moment longer, then turned and began walking away from the gate, her pace immediate and certain.
Azulus blinked. "Where are we going?"
Samael’s voice was low, cold, and final. "Anywhere else. Proceeding further will endanger Kivas. This isn’t worth any answer."
Azulus frowned, her feet remaining planted. "Wait. Wait, hold on—"
Samael didn’t stop. "Uncovering the mystery behind this damned bastion is not our responsibility. I would rather return to become vagabonds and wander around until we stumble a brand new sign of civilization,"
Azulus stepped forward. "The church," she said. "The teleportation facility. If the structure’s intact, it’s still linked to the external bastions. Solvish Keep should be reachable. We could use it! And if the interior systems are still functioning, we might find loot. Curio items. Unclaimed tech, and many more that might be worth the risk."
Samael paused.
She didn’t turn.
"Is that it?" she asked. Her voice was sharp now. Deadly still.
Azulus hesitated.
Samael slightly turned her face, revealing half of her expression that was laced with venom and anger. "Is. That. It?"
