Kaelis's eyes widened the moment the door opened, his entire expression shifting as he stepped inside. "What on Aurethys happened?"
The question barely settled before Lior's answer came, loud and broken, the kind that didn't even try to form words.
"WAAAAAAHH!!!"
The cry filled the room, echoing off the walls, and Ezra moved immediately, his body already angled toward Lior, hand half-lifted, ready to pull him close, ready to calm him down like he always did.
But as soon as he took a step—
"WAAAAAH!!!"
The lights start flickering.
It wasn't subtle.
The glow above them dimmed, then flared, then dimmed again, the shadows shifting unevenly across the walls. Ezra stopped mid-step, his breath catching, his eyes snapping upward, then around, trying to make sense of it.
'What…?' Ezra looks around, his eyes widening in shock, his chest tightening as the flickering didn't stop.
"WAH!! WAAAH!!!"
Another cry, louder, more desperate, and the lights answered it.
