Keelin
Keelin pulled the last of the rocks away from the tunnel entrance, then stepped aside to let Tallia take a look.
“Surprised you found this,” she said—and they could talk out loud, now that they were far enough back from the guard post. “Used it before?”
Keelin shook her head. “Thought there was a possibility, with the rocky outcrop. Felt cool air coming from somewhere. Got stronger when I started shifting the rocks.”
“Lucky.”
Keelin couldn’t tell if Tallia was mocking her or not. Yes, it had been lucky, but Keelin would take what luck she could.
It was a tight squeeze. Keelin went first—Tallia seemed okay with this, probably reckoned she could run if Keelin got stuck. But she didn’t, and Tallia followed her into the darkness.
