Half an hour later, they were LOST.
Falcon knew they shouldn't be. They had been following the map bit by bit...even Aurelia had approved of the route Zue was taking.
And now they were standing in the nowhere of nowhere. Quite literally.
All around them, the ground stretched out in an endless grey mass, almost like cement. But it was spongy. Falcon wondered when he had manifested a one-step forward, two-step back situation.
Ignis was toying with them as if they were her dolls in a gigantic haunted doll house.
'Let me see...' Falcon took the map from Zue's hands. Every minute they wasted being lost was a death toll for Cyan. There was not even an option of failing.
He perused the large parchment, crumbling around the edges. Tracing their path with his finger, he moved his gaze down the route they had taken. A small drawing of a cluster of stones marked the landmark where they should have been.
