Zaya heard it as clear as day, she turned, entering the cave back, weaving through the reptilians, trying to break the But seeing them being crushed by the rocks was not a satisfying sight, the soldiers disbanded their formation, runnin
The remnants of the three‑headed snake was a golden staff stuck to the ground, Zaya pulled the staff. The voice then spoke again to find the bridge, she ran straight ahead hoping for her to stumble upon the bridge the voice was talking about.
She focused, closing her eyes trying to sniff it out, yet still she couldn't point out if anything like that existed. Zaya then realized she's looking for a magical bridge her physical senses couldn't possibly help, though she might have probably had some, she didn't know how to use it. Even till the extent of finding a cursed bridge.
She grabbed one of the reptilian warriors standing close to her like it was waiting for an order.
"Where is the cursed bridge?" asked Zaya. The reptilian warrior unafraid, pointed in a particular direction.
"Follow me," Zaya yelled, she was sure the reptilian warrior didn't understand her language but definitely understood her gestures.
Zaya sprinted aiming for where the reptilian warrior pointed, her feet pacing quickly at a speed that could not be visible to the naked eyes, with the reptilian warriors running behind her they aimed towards where the bridge was located.
When they arrived at the location, just as Zaya had thought, it was a huge icy wall. She was about to give it her best punch when the reptilian warrior stopped her and raised its hands. Red energy engrossing its palms it then focused the power on the wall. The illusion disappeared a dark portal. The reptilian entered the portal, Zaya following, as she took a step, the energy raging portal it seemed to have dragged her in forcefully.
Zaya and the reptilian arrived. They were in a big rock shaped as a dome at the center upwards Zaya could see the blue sky. She could sense the volcano had disappeared along with any other traces of the reptilian creatures. Her gaze then fell on the bridge just a few meters ahead of both of them, it was weak, tinted white, with ropes as railings, some parts of it patched with blood. What was below the bridge seemed like an eternal abyss of darkness. The bridge led to a shallow path she couldn't quite sense.
Zaya was about to take a step when the reptilian stopped her with its arms stretched forward. Red energy began engrossing its body, enveloping it. When the energy cleared, Zaya was staring at a girl who looked at least two years younger than her.
The girl then spoke, "Purple one, I've been waiting for you."
"What's going on?" Zaya said startled. "How are you a human?!"
"I am Nyx a half‑breed of the fox clan, there's not much time to explain, some dangerous creatures are coming and it's my destiny to protect you from them. Hurry!"
