The Dungeon’s Depths [1]

'Shit!'

Arvell inwardly cursed as he, August, and Lillianna plummeted into the darkness below.

Since even with his superior vision, he couldn't see Julius nor Marisa, it was evident that those two didn't fall in as well.

Feeling the familiar rush of wind blowing against his face, Arvell almost instinctively unfurled the wings he usually kept tightly bound behind his back.

Still, the sudden realization that he wasn't alone made him stop.

'If I'm going to pull them out, I should make sure Lily's knocked out first. I don't want her to find out about them. She shouldn't mind too much since it'll save her from dying.'

Arvell could tell that there was still quite a distance from the ground, so he decided that the best move would be to knock Lily out, so she didn't catch a glimpse of his two mismatched wings.

Turning his head to face Lily, Arvell was prepared to give her a quick chop behind her neck, but he paused before he continued.

'She's already out cold….'
