The corridor narrowed the further in they got, with the sea around them reflecting a strange blue glow as light passed through it.
Ren led the way, every step they took echoing softly through the watery palace. And at this point, they had no idea where they were.
They'd keep following the path and for the past ten minutes, hadn't seen any new branches. Even though there were corners, they still had to follow the same path.
And the strange part was the way that the architecture bent upward and twisted sideways, and yet they walked straight as if gravity was under constant negotiation.
They continued on their way, turning a corner that opened into a slightly large hall.
No sooner had they taken a few steps in than footsteps echoed ahead. Too many to be coincidence.
A squad of golden-eyed Tidecallers walked out through the mist on the other side of the hall, weapons in their hands.
"This isn't a coincidence is it?" Thorn muttered.
