"You guys go first," Xu Yang instructed Little Fool and the others to distance themselves.
Little Fool looked up at the dark corridor above, where blurred shadows lurked on the darkness-eaten path, each representing a monster, each symbolizing a threat.
As the trembling continued outside, they slowly began to stir, coming to life from their rigid state.
Before she could discern how they spread their claws, Snowball barked behind Little Fool, urging her to hurry up the cliff.
Little Fool quickly followed Snowball.
It led the way with the light in its mouth, matching Little Fool's pace, neither too fast nor too slow.
Like a spear breaking through the darkness, Snowball pierced the shadows with its diamond-shaped beams, and Little Fool followed closely behind, threading through the dark so near that she would lose her footing and fall off the cliff if Snowball made even the slightest detour.
