Uncharted Descent

Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

----------

Gustav nodded in understanding. "So no powers..."

"Yes... Don't channel at all."

They began their descent, using the rough edges of the chasm to slowly make their way down.

The walls of the crater were uneven, with sharp protrusions and narrow ledges that offered precarious footing. They jumped from one protrusion to the next, each movement calculated and deliberate.

The descent was slow and treacherous. The deeper they went, the more intense the heat became, and the glow from the magma pits below grew brighter.

In as much as Miss Aimee had told Gustav not to channel his bloodline, he was still very much unaffecfed by this level of heat. A normal Mixedblood would have been toast by now but Gustav still had inbuilt durability.

"How deep do you think this goes?" Gustav asked while maintaining a steady gaze.
