King Griswald sighed as they walked forward through the narrow cave. "Hopefully, we are getting close to an exit or something to lead us in the next direction," he said, his voice echoing off the damp walls.
"Please stay close to me like I mentioned. You've handled enough damage and pain. I will try myβ"
Suddenly, as King Griswald stepped forward, a piece of the cave floor caved in, and dozens of spikes shot from the cave walls.
"Shit, it's a trap! Everyone, stay on your toes!" King Griswald shouted, his eyes scanning ahead. He spotted the end of the cave leading to a central room. Torches placed in the walls emitted a blue flame on each pike, casting eerie shadows around the room.
Dropping his defensive stance around Lyra, he dashed forward. "King Griswald!" Lyra screamed, her voice filled with fear.
