章 49: More Monsters

Gritting her teeth to bear with the pain in her head, Felixa turned and ran away from the monster. The wails became more unbearable and she thought more spirits joined in the wail fest. The caked earth beneath her feet started to shake violently, throwing her off balance. The cracks widened and the wails of the spirits seemed to get closer to her.

She noticed other such cracks forming all around her and converging at one pit on the ground twenty feet in front of her. She sensed something going wrong and stepped back.
