After some time had passed,
Aria, Jake, and Samu'dra were currently moving through a long, winding cave tunnel.
The passage was wide enough for Samu'dra's massive body to move through, though she still had to move slowly.
Their footsteps echoed through the darkness, mixing with the faint sound of water dripping from the ceiling.
Jake glanced at the naga.
Samu'dra had remained unusually quiet ever since they left the cavern.
Her single eye constantly scanned their surroundings, as if she was expecting something to emerge from the darkness at any moment.
Jake frowned.
He still had no idea what exactly Samu'dra had said was coming.
When he asked her about it, Samu'dra only shook her head.
"I… don't know…"
Samu'dra was silent for a moment before continuing.
"I only know… there is something big… and scary… deep inside this place."
Jake raised an eyebrow at that two words again.
"Something big and scary?"
Samu'dra nodded slowly.
"Yes."
