Hearts hammering in their chests and blood surging through their veins was causing their ears to drum in tandem with their footsteps on the cobbled ground. The taste of iron and copper in their mouths and the constant feeling of being too small and insignificant was overwhelming. The fear that Exilis and Tiana felt was almost tangible, a fear deeper than any they had felt before. Flight was the only option in this situation, even if flight seemed futile. Their vision betraying them as they fled through the narrow alleys, and they felt like their bodies wanted to give in and just lay down and die at the hand of their unseen pursuer. Only through sheer force of will did they manage to keep running.
All around was a wall of sickly yellow fog, tumbling through the alley's canyon of crumbling, gray brick walls like some jaundiced flash flood. Ahead, the unfamiliar alley split, curving to the left and right. Behind, from the silent swell of mist, emanated the sound of footsteps - slow, but somehow keeping pace with the careening, hungry wave. What path would they take in this forsaken place?
