Callane's Understanding

Callane nearly fell when she felt the sudden resistance tug on her hand, making it impossible for her to proceed through the tunnel.

For a moment, pulled by the hand of the mercenary ahead and with her other arm stuck in place by the unmoving Theo, she felt as if she was going to fall over before quickly digging her feet into the ground and pulling back on the mercenary ahead, bringing the entire group to a halt.

"Theo?"

With a bone-chilling premonition filling her soul, Callane turned her head to the back, to where she could still see her lover, her partner, and… the initially shocked look on his face that soon turned into one of determination tainted with just a tiny hint of guilt.

"The situation has changed."

That was all that he said.

'What?'

Callane gulped down her saliva.
