Stepping ahead, the duo was introduced to more and more corpses. Walking through the tunnel, it became clear that nothing was left alive and their hearts relaxed.
Just a little more than 100 metres and they were already inside the enormous chamber. The walls painted black from the fire seemed one with the corpses. Most of them had fused with the ground.
The dwarf walked to each mound and used the tail of the axe to break a portion of the corpses. After inspecting a dozen of them, the mage rebuked him for not respecting the dead.
"Dead? Just open your eyes. It wouldn't be a miracle if their souls were erased from existence!" The dwarf replied as he pointed at random corpses.
He was right. This fire accident had some peculiarity to it that attributed a mysterious nature.
