" The pounding of dozens of sets of feet surrounds us with metallic rumbling as black-cloaked minions pour into the cavern. They're behind us and in front of us, totally blocking any paths we might take.
Tsip pops in existence in front of me. "Just so you know, you're surrounded. Okay, bye!"
I don't have time to ask if Jade, Maricruz, and Chao-Ahn are all right before Tsip disappears again. Teleportation is wasted on her. "
