Eren's head was throbbing, as the burden placed over his body was much higher than he had experienced before.
"Hold on tight," Yelen whispered, her voice steady, as if it was completely normal for her.
Eren tightened his grip around her waist, focusing on the task at hand rather than the discomfort.
Yelen felt his fingers brush against her slender belly, which sent a strange sensation down her entire body.
After what felt like an eternity, they finally emerged from the portal into a dimly lit cavern. Eren took a deep breath, feeling the solid ground beneath his feet.
The air was damp and cool which was in clear contrast to the chaotic vortex they had just traveled through.
Eren removed his hand from around Yelen, his fingers brushing against her skin as they were pulled back.
Yelen made a weird noise, but Eren didn't notice. He simply sat down on the ground, resting his back against the cave wall.
