53 Falling Sands

The pedestal had a large crack at the top. The crack continued until it reached a few centimeters above the bottom.

The entire hill was trembling ominously.

Osric furrowed his brows, Leon didn't seem to care, and Mark simply raised an eyebrow.

As for me, a few beads of sweat formed on my forehead.

What have I started?

Suddenly, the pedestal sank into the ground while my crystal began hovering and rotating.

The entire hill began to flatten out, becoming flat icy ground.

The ice on the ground retreated from the center, revealing a stone platform.

Once the ice had fully retreated from the ground, the platform suddenly started to fall.

Though it was abrupt, Mark, Leon, and Osric had no trouble with the ground suddenly falling.

As for me, my legs were stumbling. My physique would let me keep my footing fine but the feeling reminded me of how I first entered that cave.

It was because, like this time, the floor under my foot gave way, leading to a series of traumatic events.
