Chapter 59 - Memories In The Dark

Ilham's aides, uncomfortable as they may look while doing so, silently and diligently lead the four of us through the labyrinthine underground of the Qaat Al-Arruwa. We've ascended and descended several flights of stairs, and at this point, we should be deeper below the surface than where we started.

Eventually, we reach an inconspicuous wall covered in faded hieroglyphs. The corridor continues in both directions, but the two monks stop here. One of them touches a hidden pressure plate on the wall, and with a tremor, the wall slides sideways. Unlike the entrance to the transportation room, this one didn't require any magic to open.

The other side is a perfectly straight path that disappears into the distant darkness. It's barely enough for two people to stand side by side with their shoulders scraping against the walls, and the ceiling is just centimeters above my head.

"So this is it?" I ask, having Jalil interpret the question for me. The monks are pointing down the narrow corridor and don't look like they're going to lead the way, so this must be the secret passage Ilham was talking about. It does seem to go on for a very long way, so I can believe that it leads out of the city.

"Way outside Qusantinah." Jalil nods in affirmation. "East of walls."

"So not entirely out of the city after all." I comment but then shrug. Makes not much of a difference for me, as long as I don't need to fight my way out.

I walk ahead and let Jalil bow and speak his respectful farewells to the monks. He's a religious person and fears that if he doesn't at least try to seem unrelated to us, he'll never be able to return to live with humans. It's of no concern to me because I don't intend to come to this nation again.

With this, our long walk in the dark begins.

"Can you put the collar on me again, Chloe?" Hestia asks before I even walked more than half a dozen steps, and I turn around with an eyebrow raised in surprise. Did she get hooked on that kind of play or why would she - oh.

Her wings barely fit into the narrow pathway and may scrape along the walls. That was quick thinking on her part to utilize my convenient body like that. But from her somewhat excited expression, I can glean that she's looking forward to wearing a collar as well.

"I can have you wear me too if you'd like." I lick my lips and grin, causing the angel girl to blush.

"N-not now." Her old self comes through a little as she stutters in embarrassment and glances sideways at Fulanah, who has been quiet for a while now.

"Oh? She's another me, isn't she? Why would you feel embarrassed about enjoying yourself in front of me?" Teasing her with a smirk, I poke her side, and she flinches. There are several ticklish zones on her body, with this being the most obvious one.
