As the serpentine woman led me down the unlit tunnel that only seemed to go deeper and deeper into the underground, I noticed that there were no lights of any kind.
This was strange because one, it's hard for anyone to see where they're going unless they have some kind of vision ability like myself, and two, it's surprisingly cold in here.
Usually it's rather hot in the desert, day or night, thank to the naturally excessive amount of [Fire] attributed Mana in the air, and that even extends to the underground to some extent.
But we'd barely gone a few metres down and it was already cold… And if it was cold, then that meant that she was still alive!
I sighed in relief upon that realisation, that my little sister was still alive, and if she was alive, then Ash should still be alive also.
