Xenon had not gone so far down the hallway when he paused in his step, realizing he was not even certain where he was headed as he had no defined destination in mind.
Not that there were any other destinations possible, beyond this hallway, there was only the outside world prowling with shadow beasts and the rest of the shadow tower, precisely the sealed hallways.
Xenon ran a hand through his hair, quickly followed by a low hiss of frustration.
Of course the voices had followed Xenon even now, they were attached to him at the hip these days and there was not a moment where they did not pester him, not a single moment of reprieve.
It was a struggle to prevent himself from giving in and giving them exactly what Xenon knew they wanted.
Xenon had not spoken a word that acknowledged these voices since the day he had lost his mind briefly, nearly breaking into one of the sealed hallways, the very one he was constantly lured to by the spectral voices.
