Mortification

"I haven't seen any more turns, Haku. Where did we go wrong?" She asked. Biting her lip as her dragon landed against the wall; claws digging into the stone to hold them there.

He rumbled at her noncommittally before readjusting his grip to kick off the structure and take them back the way they had come.

The moment they had taken off into the air again; a shadow jumped out at them from nowhere, causing him to twist around and bring his heavy tail down over it. But instead of crashing to the ground or wrapping itself around him like she expected; it evaporated like smoke and they smacked into a wall that hadn't been there before.

It knocked the air out of her lungs when her side collided with solid rock, deftly silencing her shriek of shock; Kohaku frantically trying to find a grip to keep them from sliding down.

"Well," she wheezed once they had both gotten a moment to calm themselves, him snarling and snapping at anything that might be near, and her trying to swallow the mortification of that squeal of terrified shock; staring at the passage that hadn't been there before. "That was… really interesting. Let's not do it again."
