Eliana’s breathing turned uneven as she stared downward. If she fell, there would be nothing to catch her.

Without the Hollow twisting everything into nightmare fuel, the place almost looked beautiful in a sad kind of way.

Old towers disappeared into darkness farther ahead while bridges crossed over lower sections of the city buried beneath rubble. The entire place felt frozen in the middle of a life nobody got to finish. Jax walked beside me while Theo led us farther into one of the newly cleared archive sections.

She looked forward and saw a bridge and as she walked towards it, and got closer, she later realized that it was larva underneath the bridge. “Oh, my goodness.” She said under her breath as she didn't expect it. “No wonder this place is hot.

It was one which required so much confidence, and at this point, she felt she just had to dispose her fear so she would be able to cross the bridge once and for all. And to do that, all she just had to do was not to look down.

The further he went, the more the world appeared to mutilate, the bent arrangements around him moving and twisting unevenly. He came over a contract bridge of stone, crossing a chasm that appeared to extend on until the end of time.

Dan clipped the rope to his belt next to where the end of a thicker rope was already tied and opened a pouch taking out a piton, hammering it into the bridge footing. Very quickly he created a ladder of sorts up the footing to the underside of the bridge where the shadows stole the details of his efforts from Heath’s sight.

Tom ascended after him, and the Greg.
