Round 285

The walls' breathing stopped, fluid churned faster, boulder sealed the tunnel behind them, air from deeper chambers was thick with decay, Hera disappeared into the fluid, Abby had to maintain distance and not engage directly, fluid lapped inches away, Silra's corruption timeline accelerated to three hours remaining, something moved beneath the fluid surface, Abby pressed herself against the wall harder, they should never have come here, forward movement was their only option now, walls shifted unsettlingly, Silra's face illuminated by the blue-green glow, Abby had to help somehow even if it meant facing whatever lay deeper inside these cursed tunnels.
