Bab 93: Blood in the Water, Part Eight

"Agh!" 

Neve's feet hit the ledge and, desperately, she leaned forward, hugging the wall and hoping she wouldn't bounce off. 

Spreading her arms and holding the wall like a lover she'd just reunited with, Neve managed to keep herself from falling. 

[Okay... Okay. So far, so good. Just take it one step at a time, like you did with those platforms at Roha. It'll be fine.] 

A little uncomfortably, Neve turned around.

{Candlelight} allowed her to see the next two ledges she'd have to jump on, but nothing other than that. 

[... Erin had fallen for a pretty long time before she hit the ground. This is gonna take a while, isn't it? Ah, just thinking about it is making my hands shake. Just... Just don't look down! It'll be fine, just don't look down.] 

Of course, due to the vertical nature of this death trap she found herself in, she had no choice but to look down.
