“You could have, actually.” Estraeah’s lips purse and she speeds down the tunnel, not caring if Klaus can catch up.
The path through the cave narrows, no longer allowing them to walk side-by-side. Good. Estraeah has no interest in doing so. Klaus seems to finally understand her yearning for distance and keeps quiet. They walk just long enough for the silence to become uncomfortable before the hallway opens up, revealing a cavern the size of a modest auditorium.
Crystals of various sizes jut from the walls, glowing all colors of the rainbow and beyond. Estsraeah feels drawn to them, an unmistakable energy in the air pulling her in. She looks to her right and sees Klaus, usually the more skeptical of the pair, staring wide-eyed at the crystals. The lights create a kaleidoscope of color on his cheeks, and Estraeah assumes the same goes for her.
