The starlight showering from above gradually weakened, and the giant eye at the abyss's bottom once again submerged into endless darkness.
Yet, the feeling of being watched, which made her soul tremble, did not disappear.
The Hero's scales on her tail stood up one by one, her expression grave.

Yet, even knowing this, her mind and body couldn't stop trembling in fear; it was the most natural and uncontrollable instinctual reaction of prey facing a predator.
