Beholders on the Tenth Floor

Purple energy cascaded over Dradich and the party atop his back. They felt the overbearing heat disappear, letting them all release a subconscious breath of fresh air. But once the purple energy dispersed, they saw nothing else.

There was no artificial lighting and there were no kari crystals lining the ceiling. The party members struggled to see their hands in front of their faces and the wyrm they were sitting on.

"Everyone, no matter what, we stay together on this floor. No one should leave Dradich's back!" Jack shouted, making sure everyone heard his warning. "Phoro, Ssildro, Cerdot, you and the other cranes should enter Vixus's bestial storage for now. If you get lost or separated, then there's no telling what may happen."

"Sound great to me." Phoro rushed to Vixus's side. "Please, store me away as Jack ordered."
