Rama slowly stood, still feeling the hollowness in his chest. He looked at Therion, then to the others.
"I can't explain anything right now until we're out of here. Therion, can you show us the way to the surface?" he said quietly.
Therion nodded silently.
But behind Rama, Larsen, Milen, and Kira exchanged confused glances. Kira's brows knit together.
"You can… talk to it?" she asked slowly.
Milen took a step back. "It's talking back like a normal person. This isn't a usual Ghost. What is he?"
Larsen said nothing, but his eyes were narrowed. He studied the Ghost's faded robes. It looks ornate, patterned, and clearly from an older time. Possibly even before Velmire collapse or even in the age of the War.
Axel noticed the tension and turned to the three of them and said, "I know it's weird. But he's helped us before. Rama will explain once we're out of this damn tomb. Just trust us for now."
