"Necromancy...that's what this has to be...a trap for anyone returning...the magi know we're here...we need to move!"
No sooner had the words left Joshua's lips that the tramping of booted feet could be heard making their way towards them.
She'd never entirely trusted Zandar, too many things just hadn't added up in her mind and when all you had to do whilst walking the long, desolate desert dunes was think then you had a lot of time to dwell on mistrust and yet she hadn't expected this.
Shying away from the falling days old corpse of Zandar Mei suppressed the fear rising up within her, she hated blood magic, hated it with all her heart but she'd already panicked once in its presence and she wouldn't do it again.
"Quickly you need to get moving! I'll try and slow them down" she said taking several steps in the direction the oncoming feet before dropping to her knee's, her palms flat against the tunnels floor. As the words echoed out of her mouth in a constant and incomprehensible litany, the floor and walls around them began to shake; causing century’s old dust to fall around them.
Masonry cracked as the roar of grinding stone rose to a near deafening pitch, Mei silently prayed that the others had gotten far enough away as the first soldier rounded the bend, dressed from head to toe in mail and surcoat he must be boiling wearing all that armour? Mei thought to herself only to realise that the dead didn't sweat, nor did they die of thirst...However they did die if falling masonry was fall atop of them.
A slab of sandstone the size of a horse crashed down onto the floor causing Mei to jump in fright, breaking her concentration, not that it would stop the roof from falling in even if she had wanted to.
Scrambling back onto her feet Mei made for the door as debris fell around her, a cacophonous crash followed closely by a tidal wave of sand and dust told her that the tunnels roof had fallen in behind her and was close on her heels Please let me make it...please!
