>>6118024You are still not sure this is a good idea. In fact, as the humming keeps growing in volume and intensity to the point you can start seep it into your bones, you think it’s a <span class="mu-i">bad</span> idea.
“Please hurry up!” Salicera pushes you forward, even if this ‘pushing’ is you just helping your brunette friend walking downstairs as fast as she can. “We’re almost to the ignition chamber! Do you feel the echombustion elements getting ready?” She turns to you with a big smile. It’s the widest smile you have seen her show since before her time at the Well, since before she lost control of her Sanction…
You still think it’s a bad idea. But it is worth it.
“I’m doing my best. Remember what I said about keeping your head over your shoulders, though? I’d avoid staying too much if it’s dangerous.”
“No danger at all,” she waves her hand, “the Priests have complete control over the reaction. It’s not going to fall into overrunning echoes until they release it…” her armoured hands fidget, making the tassel crinkle. “Unless they have already started the mirroring cascade, but I seriously doubt that’s the case! We just need to hurry up!”
“This is taking too much time,” you grumble, quickly sweeping up Soralisa in your arms and descending the stairs much, much quicker than before. This is the good part.
The bad part is the way she flushes and grasps meekly onto your shoulders, her large doe eyes looking up at you, making you feel like you overreached in trying to be a friend and—
No, this is not the right time to think about this, not with the slippery stairs beneath your boots.
“What is this place? This is not the staircase leading to the armour room. I have never seen a Temple of Flame built like this,” you ask, hoping on her desire to explain to paint over the cracks between your conversation.
