Silence sat between them like a third presence heavy and suffocating
Mattias didn't know what say as he just admitted it His eyes flicked toward Miras who was grinning again that same grin that made he had just moments before while watching me get torn apart
"Just like that your admitting it?" Mattias repeated flatly. "If your joking you can drop it."
Miras chuckled lowly, spreading his arms in mock innocence. "No am serious this time"
Mattias tilted his head "You talk too much for someone who could've planned this far"
That actually made Miras pause for half a second then he laughed with the sound sharp enough to echo across the still air.
"your quite amusing," Miras said his grin widening.
Mattias didn't smile "Alright say I buy that What's the catch to this?"
Miras crouched again, eyes glinting gold as the air began to shift the darkness around them quivered, taking vague shapes walls, shadows, echoes of movement in the distance could be heard.
"The catch," Miras said softly, "is that I don't plan to die right now" he look in the direction of that movements."and if we both don't get out of here neither of us will live to dread the next day"
Mattias felt a shiver run down his spine "You're making this sound like we are really trapped."
"Because we are," Miras said with a grin "you just don't see it yet for better or worse "
Mattias frowned while standing up"I can't see? What is this it"
Miras' grin didn't waver, but his tone changed to a more serious one
Miras looked straight into Mattias' eyes"You think death is the worst thing that can happen to you here, don't you? But you will live longer enough to come to appreciate death."
The air around them shifted It wasn't sound, not exactly it was a step like something was moving under them
Mattias glanced around but that sense of death gripping his heart was lingering "Miras what exactly is that?"
Miras giving a smirk as he looked even more alert now "that's genuine fear."
A deep ,low hum began to rise from them
Miras' grin faltered for the first time since Mattias met him "If you value that borrowed existence of yours…on my signal hold my hand"
Mattias hesitated staring at him "You look like a dead man already just tell me what exactly is that thing under us."
Miras already running turned back to Mattias "Oh, good you can tell tone you must want a round of applause for that for that start running now you fool"
The hum sharpened into a frequency that made Mattias's teeth ache. The ground beneath him start to sink down words and suddenly, the air that had felt still and weightless then pressed in heavy, choking.
Mattias's felt like he would get crushed inward at this rate
He could feel it. Whatever was beneath them wasn't something that he could even begin imagining
