Human bones.
Hundreds of them.

Thousands.
Entire skeletons had become embedded inside the walls as though the cave itself had swallowed them over countless years. Some skulls remained perfectly intact, their empty eye sockets staring endlessly into the tunnel. Rib cages protruded between crystal formations while countless arm and leg bones intertwined with the glowing minerals like twisted roots beneath the earth.
The crystals illuminated everything with an eerie blue light.
Every skull seemed alive beneath it.
Every empty eye socket appeared to follow whoever walked past.
Tatiana instinctively moved closer to Liam.
Even Mary quietly swallowed.
The atmosphere had changed completely.
This place no longer felt like an ordinary cave.
It felt so eerie.
Like somewhere people were never meant to discover.
Cold air drifted silently through the tunnel, carrying a faint smell of damp stone mixed with something older.
