Kidnap?
At first Hao Xuan thought he was seeing things again. Maybe another vision or a memory transposing itself onto the current reality but when Jin Wang slapped him on the back while passing by he awoke to the truth.
"STOP DAYDREAMING AND RUN IDIOT!"
He watched Jin Wang take the first few steps, each one hurling him tens of meters ahead and he realized why it felt this way. This wasn't the first time he had seen this pyramid.
A boulder-sized piece of debris landed mere inches away from the absentminded Hao Xuan forcing him to move. He followed exactly in Jin Wang's footsteps and the moment he stepped on it the intensity of the shakes reduced significantly.
It had stopped completely by the time they reached the top.
Gasping for air Hao Xuan looked back from where they had climbed up.
"Why...did it...stop?"
Jin Wang who seemed eerily composed brushed the dust off his clothes before looking at Hao Xuan.
