Jim jumped into the pit with nothing else in his mind but to get as deep as he could.
His body fell freely inside the pit, while his pure golden orb helped in illuminating everything for tens of meters around.
'Be careful,' the old man warned, 'that monster is hurrying after you.'
Jim raised his head and glanced at the huge worm squeezing its body in the narrow pit. The rocks it smashed helped in creating a vague shape of it, making Jim feel more dreadful than before.
"I need to get to that mine," Jim said while his fall was gaining more speed in time.
'That way to stop your descent will be... a little hard.'
"I know," Jim said with a satisfied face, "but I have no other option here, right?"
The old man went silent and didn't answer for a long time.
During this, Jim was moving so fast but he never lost his focus.
