The darkness threatened to swallow me whole the moment the trapdoor slammed shut above. For a second, I stood suspended in nothing.
But then...
It all turned blue.
The Spectral Glasses flickered softly to life, and the underground tunnel emerged around me. Stone walls pressed in from all sides, arm's length in width. The air was dense, and each breath felt clustered.
I could still see.
That was the good news.
The bad news...
The temperature had dropped even further.
I could see my breath curling in front of me, fogging the lenses with each breath. The cold was deeper here, and I was practically shivering at this point.
'W-why is it so cold?'
"Whe... W-where is this?"
Jamie's voice reached me from nearby, and I turned to see him standing not far from me, his selfie-stick held in front alongside his flashlight, which was currently turned off.
I thought for a moment before removing the glasses.
Only then did the darkness truly swallow me.
