Walking through the tunnel felt endless. As Emira walked forward, she felt a chill all over. Just how far was this place from the main side.... Ryn had actually dug this tunnel over the last two months? Was she crazy?
Even as the uneven path beneath her feet made her wince with every step, Emira was only a bit thankful for the part of Mira's soul that had merged with her, thus helping her master more magic in this short time...
Because if not for the soft glow of the magical butterflies drifting ahead of her, Emira might have believed she was walking in circles.
Time seemed to stretch strangely in this place. Her steps echoed, then faded. Her breathing was the only other sound. It felt as though she had been walking for far longer than she truly had. Almost an hour had passed, or so it seemed, before the tunnel finally began to widen.
