The ground trembled violently beneath Trevor's feet as he and the dwarf burst out of the collapsing archway. Behind them, the first floor of the Primordial Tower was tearing itself apart. Massive chunks of ancient stone crashed down, and sickly green veins of corruption burst like overripe pustules, spraying corrosive fluid across the ruins. The entire structure groaned like a dying beast, cracks spreading upward like lightning through the towering edifice.
Trevor didn't look back. He grabbed the dwarf by the collar and sprinted forward, pulling the smaller figure along as debris rained down around them. A huge stone slab smashed into the ground where they had stood moments earlier, sending a shockwave that nearly knocked them off their feet.
"Keep running!" Trevor shouted over the deafening roar.
