6.0 - Raptor (2015)
“Under the influence of Phelistoth’s magic, the lava flowed away, sometimes against gravity, and melted its way into side alcoves before hardening and leaving a narrow tunnel free. Sardelle couldn’t watch for long—the light was too intense—but she checked Phelistoth’s progress often as he worked, burrowing his way back toward the main passage. She kept hoping they would encounter other people who had survived the cave-in, and she wanted to make sure to pull them out before the dragon melted them... like so much rock.
There’s nobody left alive down here, Sardelle, Jaxi said. Not on these levels. Some men are up higher, stuck because the bottom third of the tram shaft is buried.
Logically, Sardelle knew that, but she did not want to accept it. Jaxi was maintaining the barrier around them now, so Sardelle had been free to check with her senses several times. She hadn’t found any other life on what remained of their level, but she kept hoping that she had been mistaken, that she was too weary from all she had done, and that her senses were simply dulled.MoreLess
