Viros mumbled uncertainly. "Is this blood?"
Akamir stared at the blood then at the chamber in front of them.
The light once again was barely enough for them to see a few metres away.
He glanced at Zaina, who immediately understood.
Raising her staff, she formed a spell and it illuminated the place immediately.
Everyone tensed at the sight in front of them.
The chamber was far larger than they'd guessed, stretching beyond where the spell's light could even reach.
Tall, crumbling pillars stood half-submerged in the thick blood, some leaning as if ready to collapse.
There were skeletons too, floating in the pool or stuck to the base of the walls.
Most were humanoid, but some weren't.
Akamir's eyes swept the area carefully, his crimson narrowing.
"There," he said quietly, pointing at the far end.
Far across the chamber, just barely visible through the mist, was a structure.
It looked like a platform or maybe a staircase leading upward, half-sunken but still intact.
