Aether felt his feet tremble, which in this kind of situation was lethal. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. The path was very narrow, to the point where he had to walk on his toes just to have enough space. Plus, the edge was broken, and rocks were falling down with each step.
And even more terrifying was that there was no sound of them landing, meaning that below him was a hole without end, or just an unnecessarily deep hole.
'Seriously, couldn't they have built this path a little wider?'
His body was practically glued to the wall, feeling the hard stone brush against his chest. It also didn't help that the wall didn't have any cracks, meaning he couldn't use his hands for extra support.
The amount of time his heart beat continued to rise with each of his slow steps. He had just arrived in this book, and he was already one wrong step away from dying, like seriously, did the Codex have something against him?
