章 161: A Blade from the Shadows

I beat my wings, allowing them to carry me to the source of Alina's scream. At first, I thought I could catch up with her and whatever had her almost immediately, but I was soon proven wrong. Second turned into minutes, and several of those past as I flew.

Clenching my fists, I finally slowed down when her screaming stopped getting further and further away each time.

Now, I could see where she had been taken – an old ruin. One that I didn't know was here. 

It was a large, circular building with a very high ceiling. While the building itself was quite damaged by time, it wasn't damaged enough to give me another way inside, aside from the very obvious front entrance. The weathered stone blocks weren't weak enough for me to break them to make myself another entrance either.
