Chapter 32: Dire Tombs II

Through the other side of the door was a field of grass that reminded me of a masterfully painted piece of art. It was a couple of hundred meters wide and I couldn’t even see the other end of the cave.

“Let me guess, this field wasn’t here last time either?” Reginald mutters, his eyes never leaving the scene in front of him.

“N-no…” Brald takes a deep breath, astounded as well.

Reginald just mumbles something under his breath and takes a step through the door, where we all followed in after.

This didn’t resemble a cave at all, where even the brightness within was enough to make our eyes squint. The rows of stalactites high up on the ceiling of the cave were the only things that reaffirmed our doubts that this was actually an underground cavern.

“Wow! It’s so pretty!” Samantha couldn’t help be in awe at the serene meadow.

There were tall trees and plants dotted across the field. Even I couldn’t help want to just lay down and relax here but ever since we walked through the door, the hairs on my body have been standing on its end, as if my body wants me to stay wary.

Everyone’s guards were down but I noticed that Jasmine and even Elijah kept darting their eyes around, looking out for anything suspicious.

“Something’s off. Keep your guards up guys.” I stay vigilant with my shortsword out and my left hand on the grip of Dawn’s Ballad that was still sheathed to my waist.

“Are you sure? I don’t even hear anything, let alone see much besides the grass and trees.” Kriol is a bit doubtful but raises his shield and wills water affinity mana into it.

I study my surroundings to see what was making me feel so tense. The light seemed to come from the stalactites that glowed much brighter than the ones from the previous caves. There was a slight haze all over the field that seemed insignificant, but that was it. There was literally nothing else besides the plants and this mist.

What am I missing?

I notice the mist around us gradually get thicker, so I could only make out the shapes of everyone around me.

*Thump*

“Clara? Is that you? H-how are you alive?”

I spin my head to the direction of the voice. I see that Kriol dropped his gigantic shield. He’s holding his arms out looking at something in the distance.

“I knew you couldn’t be dead Clara! Stay there! I’m coming to get you!” Kriol bolts off, leaving his shield behind him.

“Stop! It’s dangerous!” I yell after him, but it’s too late as his figure fades out of sight.

Jasmine grabs my arm and sticks close. “I think the mist is an illusion.”

“I suspected that as well.” I nod in agreement. “Everyone! Stick together! This mist is playing tricks on our senses. Samantha, barrier!”

Huddling together, we face each other to discuss a plan inside the ball of water protecting us from the mist.

“Who’s Clara?” Samantha asks.

Reginald shakes his head. “I-it’s Kriol’s fiancée. But it’s impossible that she’s alive.
