Marcus didn't let the moment linger for too long. As striking as the cavern was, it didn't change where they were.
He took a slow step forward, gaze sweeping across the space once more, this time with more caution in his steps.
"Careful," he said quietly. "We don't know what any of this does yet."
No one really argued. The best traps are the sweetest after all.
They moved slowly together, getting into a tightly packed formation as they stepped further into the cavern. They barely managed to skitter around the edge of the lake in the middle, watching the clear surface of the water for any abnormalities.
Luna followed just behind Marcus, though her attention was turned on something else. The longer she stayed, the more she felt it…and by the looks of it, everyone else did too.
The air was extremely thick, so much so that it felt hard to breathe in. However, it wasn't a pressure of some kind, no. It was pure and clean energy, seeped into each and every pore of the cave itself.
