the fuck is an under mountain? Cole thought to himself, probably forgetting that he should perhaps ask Neral what or who exactly they are or were. But before he could say anything, the Denizens amongst their fighters were already whispering amongst themselves, the fear that they were feeling was very obvious and it made Cole want to take this situation a little bit more seriously.
But never the less, panic was being widespread, and if he did not get things under control soon, someone would do something very stupid. And they did, Cole did not know who started running first, but as soon as the first Denizen took to their heels, the second followed and soon most of them were running with the Aspirants following.
