"What should we do?" Cassie asked, glancing back: "I can feel something behind us!"
"It's a mindless Ghoul, don't worry, this is my button, here, Cassie, you and Engma use it." Unfastening a button from his waist, Malin fastened it onto Cassie's belt, then signaled to them to make sure it was secure.
Ghouls had already appeared in the distant corridor.
Malin put on his gloves, grabbed the rope, and with a swift pull, he brought the youngster down to the ground.
Ophie and Lorrin had turned into treemen, fully armed and standing at the entrance of the corridor.
Bippo stood behind them, the small creature's hand glowing with the light of runes.
As Malin pulled the rope, he wondered if what he was doing was worth it.
