Bella POV
New Irismus
I walked along the stream, cocking my ears each time to hear the sounds coming from underneath. The sun was no longer at a height and there was a sense now of the darkness coming. I wondered if we would reach our destination by then.
I shivered, despite the heat, which had abated a little, but was still there. My shirt was sticking to my back and my hair was now damply plastered across my forehead. Iris and Ivy were both following me now, walking by my side, swords in their hands.
I could hear Rob moaning and I sensed that he was getting worse.
"How long do we have for him?" I heard Flanagan ask Wole worriedly.
The latter answered, "I don't know! We have never seen anything like this before. So I cannot say, but I do know that it will not be for too long. I can assure you that. The Siren's are ancient creatures even from before The Ruin, their magic is strong."
