Bab 76: Getting Worse

The inside of the cave was very dark. But the cave was not so wide that Erend and Saeldir could immediately find them.

Saeldir created an orb of light the size of a palm. With that orb of light, the two of them were finally able to illuminate the dark cave.

"Erend?" Billy asked with a mumble.

Erend was shocked at their condition. Billy and Lt. Boartusk were lying side by side. Their skin is pale and there are black spots there.

Some shackles tied their wrists and feet. Elis who was next to the two of them was also in the same state. But she looked even worse.

Elis lay with empty eyes and a mouth uttering incoherent words. Erend immediately approached them. Saeldir followed behind him.

There was no worry on Saeldir's face like Erend's. The elf just looked at them with a straight face.

"What happened to you guys?" Erend asked in a worried tone.

"They did... something crazy... to us," Billy answered in a disjointed and weak voice.
