Capítulo 139: A Risk

By the time Seline had stepped into the dim cavern, the member of the family who had given no name was collapsing to the ground, his eyes rolled back to show their whites and with a face as expressionless as one in a deep, deep sleep.

Confused and quite shocked, she turned to the old man who had raised her to see that he had closed his eyes and his head was arched up, as if he was praying to some unknown deity. His hands were clasped close to his chest, and his breathing was labored, as if he had just had to exert himself a lot.

Behind her came the two others who froze as they entered the cavern, just as stunned as her the moment they took in the state of the place. They looked between the old man and their companion, taking a second to understand what the hell might have happened, and then, one went to the former and the other walked with concern to the latter.
