254 Hydra

The high speed could not have lasted long for the haze wreathed arena was only so big. Or that was what Li thought, but the crater was surprisingly large, spanning over a vast swathe of land dotted with shattered boulders, dwarven skeletons, and as they flew in further, the skeletal remains of beasts of burden such as rock salamanders and the dull, deactivated and spherical cores of stone golems.  There were torn up rails, their iron bars twisted and strewn around like toothpicks.

Whatever this area had been, it had evidently been used for some kind of mining purpose.

The chase ended at the other end of the crater, almost a full minute later. That did not sound like much time, but the Oculon and Tia flew at breakneck speeds that would have put almost anything Li had seen in this world to shame.
