Intent on escaping that hell hole of an underground, Seraphine took her turn to lead and protect Eric this time.
Right before anyone could find the event place of the auction at that gruesome state, they went back to the tunnels where they came from. They searched around the labyrinth-like pathways for what seemed like an eternity. Even after an hour already passed, they did not manage to find any way out - it was just passages after passages.
"Seraphine, I think you should rest for now..." Eric chimed in from behind, sensing that she was already exhausted from all the running and walking that they did.
"I'm sorry I can't be of much use. If only I could see, I would have memorized this place."
"It's alright. You did more than enough when you saved me earlier..." Seraphine reassured him with a smile and a pat on his head, finding his look of disappointment adorable.
"Besides, we'd only been through these tunnels once. How could first-timers like us possibly memorize it?"
