Bab 426: 57 - All For Nothing

GAYA'S GARDEN

___

The forbidden cave didn't look like much from the outside but Alaris and Belladonna have learnt to not trust or take things at their face value.

They were careful with every step they took, mindful of how much time they had doesn't and how much less they had. This was their only hope. They had agreed that if it seemed like this journey into the forbidden cave would lead to nothing, then they would turn back and head to the exit, so that they would still be able to escape this dreadful Garden.

The map had said that the cave was filled with monsters, they expected that and so much worse.

But the deeper they went into the cave, the more they were surrounded by nothing but the echoes of their quiet steps. Alaris had tried to summon his flames a couple of times, they had lasted for only about so long, flickering too before going off.
