I was glad to leave the gloomy, web infested vale behind and enter the oracle's cave. Sophia and Xera followed me. My stomach knotted as we entered the dark of the cave. An earthy smell filled my nose. Roots dangled down from the ceiling, forming a curtain that we had to push through.
The farther we moved from the entrance, the darker the tunnel grew. A light glowed in the distance at the tunnel's end. The light was a beacon, leading us on. The roots made me shudder. They were like the giganraneae's webs, but not sticky. Still, I flinched as they brushed my face.
"Slata's well-used cunt!" Sophia gasped, her voice echoing back and forth down the cave.
I glanced at her. "What?"
"I stubbed my toe on a stupid root!" she moaned.
"It's not much farther," I told her. "Let's keep walking."
