Chapter 657: Chapter 657 Team Performance Review Part 1

With the information that Kat's fans could be retrieved from a distance the arguments against leaving it behind fell away. Gareth pulled up another wall, this one only shoulder height, to corral the writhing instinct so they could pass it without fear. Once the wall was up, the party started to shimmy through the small gap. Gareth had a little trouble with his armour, but everyone else had plenty of space. Kat had a slightly more difficult time because of her wings, but it was still very easy. Kat even managed to acquire Lily once again during the process. The Memphis hardly stirred during the transfer… but she did purr softly for a few moments once back in Kat's arms.

Once everyone was past the stone, 'Ted' tried to return to his place at the front of the party but Gareth put a firm hand on 'his' shoulder and pulled 'him' back. "I believe that in a cave without any turns or splitting paths you need not risk yourself leading us."
