Alaric kept his eyes fixed on the only guide willing to lead him. He forced himself to maintain a steady pace. His movements were no longer rushed like before, but his steps had slowed. He carefully synchronized his breath with the rhythm of his feet to avoid making any noise.
The glowing light floated ahead, pulsing softly in a fading green hue, like it was running out of energy after everything it had done since they first entered the grand house. Alaric watched it closely, his gaze wary. Even though the thing had helped him several times already, something inside him still refused to fully trust it. He knew far too well how quickly things could turn into a trap.
"How long am I going to keep walking around with no clear direction..." he muttered while continuing through the massive house, following the floating light. As expected, there was no answer.
