Beneath the Stone, a City Still Breathing
The wall made this noise like it was groaning.
The stone started to shake like it was waking up from a long sleep. Then a low rumble began to move through the floor. This rumble was so strong that it made Leons boots rattle. At the time thin streams of dust fell down from the ceiling. A small crack appeared on the wall. It moved down the wall slowly like it was being careful. Then it got bigger. Made a harsh scraping sound. When the crack got bigger Leon and the others saw darkness staring back at them. The stone and the darkness seemed old. Like they had been waiting for a very long time. The darkness even seemed to be alive.
Leons golden eyes got wide. His heart beat one time it was sharp. It was fast. Leons heart was beating because of something. It was beating very fast.
