"If it was a living person then you should've heard it as well." Mikael pointed out.
"Right…" Deon said in contemplation.
However, the young prince knew by instinct that whatever the creature was, it meant no harm. In fact, Deon felt drawn into the abyss as if something inside him was telling him to go inside the inky blackness.
'How… peculiar…' Dazed, Deon got down on his knees and inspected the hole.
Contrary to how small it appeared, the hole was actually quite large. It could have probably fit an adult killer ant and still have extra space.
"Sir Mikael, can you go and check? Since you're a spirit, it wouldn't be dangerous for you even if there is a monster inside."
"Oh, wow. Thanks for reminding me that I'm already dead." Mikael rolled his eyes, thinking of how obnoxiousness seems to run in the royal family.
Still, Mikael heeded Deon's request and passed through the tunnel walls.
