Shauna
The three take turns carrying me through the mountain. Philippe and Paulo pass me back and forth to give each other a break, Lyra moves me on a cushion of air in front of her as they walk around the tunnel that Paulo had sent before them. Paulo sets the dirt to open in front of them and cycle behind them and fill in behind them so there would be a solid wall of earth between them and the Dark Ones at all times.
I hear bits of conversations but for the most part, the three stay quiet, or I had gone in and out of consciousness too much to follow a real conversation. I am in so much pain; I can feel the black magick as it forces its way through my body.
There is a soft rumble as the earth finally opens up on the other side. The light that comes through is beautiful but also pain
