CHAPTER 71: The Gory Gash
'Aella,' a rueful voice called in the swarming darkness as Aella peered around her apprehensively.
'Hello?' She called out gently but her voice was shaky as were her hands trembling with fright.
She was in a bleak space as endless of gloom awaited her and she had no idea what to expect from any angle.
'A-Aella,' she heard the crackling tone again but she couldn't decipher where it was coming from.
All she knew was that it was too painful to digest. It was like the person was going through a hideous amount of torture and was barely able to call her name out.
'Who is there?!' Aella rasped, not feeling settled that she was being left in the dark like this.
She couldn't even recognize the voice. At some point, it sounded familiar but in others, she was just clueless.
Aella tried to move but felt like she was only deceiving herself by walking on an endless path which seemed to have no end or beginning.
