(Azriel POV)
The two women began their descent into the caverns as the last of the silver forest petered off. They moved through the narrow as it meandered down. It was slow walking. There were stones and pebbles across the path. Their pace had slowed down considerably, but there wasn't much to be done about that. Elena looked worried and restless as they walked. She kept urging Azriel to hurry.
"Hurry,..hurry, don't tarry. They have gotten wind of us. I can sense it."
Azriel tried her best to walk as fast as she could but the path was difficult. Elena kept pushing and dragging her as they walked.
"C'mon Azriel you can do this."
Azriel nodded, now huffing and panting as she kept holding on to the walls and walking along the path. Ahead of them she could see the path now skirting a steep ravine and she felt terrified of it already. Elena walked surely, she showed no hesitancy or fear. Azriel wondered how the woman had so much stamina.
