Chapter 630

• "The tunnels beneath this particular mountain are probably deeper and more problematic than most. Not really worth clearing out unless we were setting up a permanent base here. And part of the reason the Damall have existed for so long is that we don't do that. Keep moving, keep living." He shrugged and stepped around Mia. "We've got bigger things to worry about."
• "But..." But a quiet little sensation in her told her to check it out. The fingers inside her, forever quietly plucking the strings that moved through her as she moved, continued to play their song, so quiet only she could hear them at the moment. But there was something else, too, something else pulling at her attention.
• Mia stayed where she was, did her best to ignore the hundred or so dead hellbeasts that littered the ground, and stared past them toward the cavern exit, where the beasts had come from. It was like a compass in the corner of her eye pointing toward the tunnel, a teeny tiny thing that was easily ignorable, but it was there. Why ignore it?
