"How does it look?"
"Too far to jump, that's for sure. We will have to regroup with Luna and the others and have her form a path for us."
Rune was standing beside Rienn as he answered her question. They two of them were staring up at the hole that they had fallen through in the uppermost part of the cavern. The cavern itself was vast and meaning the actual place they had fallen through was that much higher up. Even enhancing his vision using Body and Mind activation together, Rune was unable to see the end.
"Rune!"
"Hey, are you guys alright?!"
A moment later the girl in question came running over alongside Fleur, and they looked over Rune and Rienn with slight worry after getting close enough.
"We are alright," Rune replied. "Though things did get a little shaky towards the end."
One of the most common forms of criticism I recieve is that Rune comes off as being too weak, and I'm sure some more people will be unhappy with the way he interacts with Stella in this chapter and the next. Rune is not some alpha male mc that does everything right and is always on top. There are countless stories with MC's like this on that platform, but I wanted to write something more realistic. He's meant to be come off as inexperienced and naive, in the beginning and at times throughout his journey of growth, and you will see a bit of that side resurface again in the next chapter.
