Elane's first instinct was to turn around.
But she quickly pushed those thoughts aside. Where would they even go if they did? Back to the boss' chamber?? That was even more idiotic than pushing forwards towards the source of those sounds.
She wasn't stupid enough to suggest they go running back deeper into the nest and trap themselves there, but the urge still remained.
The sounds ahead were wrong in a way that made her skin crawl, after all there were far too many impacts, far too much violence packed all into one area that it confused them.
What could possibly require so many people to be fighting at once…?
A possibility came to both Rohan and Elane's minds, but they refused to confront it right now.
Rohan felt the same as her.
He didn't show it openly, but his grip on his spear tightened from worry to the point where his tendons on his forearm stood out like cords.
"A battle…" he muttered. "And not a small one."
Elane nodded grimly.
