Things in Shadows

They could hear things in the dark around them. Adri didn't want to give light to things, almost wanted to slink out of the cave they'd found themselves in, but she knew she had to light things up. She knew she had to brighten her sword up and see what had taken those underground even if she didn't want to. It was wordless between her and Peter, they both gave light to their weapons and the cavern at once dark illuminated and there was nothing. They swept as far as they could see and the cavern was empty. Clearly it hadn't been as of late, they could see the blood from where Adri had struck one of the creatures, but as far as that creatures existence or the noise it had made originally? Nothing existed.

"Well I feel awkward." Peter was the first to say something and it caused Adri to laugh even though there wasn't really anything funny about their current circumstance.

"Which way do we go ahead or behind?" Both seemed equally as horrible based on people being drug under.

"Well people were drug ahead of us, so I'd suggest we go that way.

"Seems like a valid plan if only simplistic."

"We're wearing armor given to us by the Fire God chasing after creatures under the earth we didn't even see, simplistic is what we got."

"Fair enough." Peter took his hammer in both hands and went forward, into the dark and towards what sounded like chittering. His strength of resolve fading with each step.
