Surprise Mimic!

CRASH!

The walls broke after we hit them with all our strength as a hidden passage was shown before us!

"W-What? No way…" murmured Zack.

"Ugh, so much dust… cough…" said Aquarina soon after.

"Indeed… Vacuum Wind," I chanted.

I conjured a simple Wind-attribute spell I had learned from mother. She had not taught me many spells at all. In fact, this was perhaps the only one I knew because it helped clean clothes and other things from dust.

The spell easily absorbed the cloud of dust into a sphere of dust, collecting every ounce of dust in the surroundings.

It wasn't capable of absorbing anything else than dust though. But I think it's possible to take the oxygen out of the lungs of a person if I pointed my hand into their open mouths… then again, that seems hard to pull off if they're armed.

In any case, I threw the ball of dust towards another corridor as we continued our journey ahead.

"This place is dark…" Zack could not help but say.
