Chapter 9

The Underground

“This place is lame.”

Azyr’s words echoed across the vacant shore as she paced across the far end of the island, hands placed firmly on her hips. It hadn’t taken long for her, Ron and Zefara to clear the isle. In fact, the only enemies they’d encountered were more of those damn drogs, and those beasts were far too slow to pose a true threat, at last to her.

“There’s clearly more to these islands than meets the eye,” Zefara said, dropping to a knee and running two of her blue-skinned fingers through the sand. “Such is the way of the tower.”

Azyr sighed. “And I suppose the otherworldly knowledge granted by your priesthood will help lead us in the right direction?”

Zefara turned and shot Azyr a coy smile. “Perhaps.” Suddenly, her lavender eyes began to glow a bright violet as she scanned the area with her steadfast gaze. “My people call this the Soul Stare. With it, I can catch a glimpse of the spirits in the area, both living and dead. It should help point us in the proper direction...”

Azyr arched her brow and Ron gasped. “Damn cher, where’d you find that nifty little ability. I don’t recall seein it in any of the shops.”

“That’s because it’s a racial trait,” Zefara replied calmly. “It was something I was taught far before I entered the tower, not something you can simply purchase from the shop.”

Ron slumped his shoulders. “I didn’t get any racial abilities...”

Several seconds passed as Zefara scanned the area with her soul stare, tirelessly searching for any signs of life. And she wouldn’t have found any... that is until she dipped her head in frustration.

“Ah, there we are,” the war priestess said, smiling as she stared into the ground. “Our path lies beneath the surface.”

“Of all the damned places,” Azyr muttered. “It would be just like them to tease us with an island view then force us underground.”

Ron gave her a pat on the back. “Who knows cher, maybe the view will be nice down there too.”

Azyr merely shot him a glare before taking a final glance at the sun’s glow radiating off the rolling waves. By the gods, was she ever growing sick of caves.
