Ethan asked, but there was no answer. The murmurs persisted for a moment before fading into the air, leaving him with a growing sense of unease.
Seeing nothing around him, he decided to continue. Yet, with every step he took, he felt as though something was watching him, though he couldn't pinpoint where the sensation came from. It was as if the countless bones surrounding him shared a collective consciousness, keeping a vigilant eye on him.
For the first time in a long while, Ethan felt something close to fear.
Ethan moved forward cautiously, but with each step, the sense of danger intensified. It was a visceral sensation, as though something invisible enveloped him, squeezing his chest. He tried to ignore it, seeking the source of the threat, but he couldn't locate it. The air grew heavier, and his normally sharp senses seemed dulled.
