My steps onto the eleventh floor of the Cave of the Forgotten felt heavy. Not because my body was exhausted no, an undead like me doesn't know fatigue like ordinary humans do. But… there was something else. Something that pierced from within, striking my awareness like an inaudible whisper echoing at the edge of my soul.
That feeling… it came out of nowhere. As if… someone important… was in danger.
My heart or whatever was left of that feeling was suddenly filled with unease. It was as if an invisible thread was slowly being severed, sending a faint thud to the bottom of my soul. I clenched my teeth. No. I couldn't afford to be distracted right now.
But my mind was already split. And unfortunately, this place doesn't allow even a moment of lost focus.
