The air inside was cooler and faintly damp. The ground was uneven but walkable.
Xenos led the way deeper without hesitation, as if he knew the place by heart, while the others trailed closely behind, none of them thinking of asking how, not even Eris.

"It's a trade secret."
Eris's amused voice hummed softly in his head.
'You do love showing off, don't you?'
