Varrika pulls Merrin closer, her eyes locked on the book in their hands. "We can't afford to lose any more time," she says, her voice low and urgent. With a sudden movement, she grabs Merrin's arm and starts to pull them both forward, away from the edge of the ledge. The ground beneath them gives another ominous tremor, and rocks and debris continue to fall down towards the chasm.

Varrika · Fighter

I pull Merrin close as the ground crumbles beneath our feet, my eyes fixed on the book in her hands. "We can't afford to let this slow us down," I growl, my voice low and urgent. "The ledge is giving way!"

With a sudden movement, I grab Merrin's arm and start to pull her forward, away from the edge of the ledge. The ground beneath us gives another ominous tremor, and rocks and debris continue to fall down towards the chasm. I can feel the book pulsing with an otherworldly energy in Merrin's hands, its pages glowing with a light that seems to grow brighter with each passing second.

But for now, all that matters is getting out of here alive. "Come on," I shout, my voice straining over the sound of falling debris. "We need to keep moving!"

Merrin · Rogue

I cling to Varrika's arm as we stumble across the crumbling ledge, the book in my hands pulsing with an otherworldly energy. The ground shifts ominously beneath our feet, and rocks and debris tumble down into the chasm.

Varrika's right - we need to keep moving. But I can't let go of this book. It might be the key to everything. I glance at Varrika, my eyes narrowing. "I'm not letting go," I say firmly, my voice tight with urgency. "This book is our only chance."

With that, I start to make my way across the ledge, my hand outstretched towards Varikka as I pray that she'll follow me into the unknown.
