Raine was standing by the door looking out into the corridor when the window broke. He turned around in time to see Kieran and Tiny destroyed by the strange tentacles.
"Oh, crap! Run!", he exclaimed before taking his own advice and speeding off down the corridor to the west.
With his back pressed to the wall, a horrified Zachary watches as his friend is reduced to a dedicated husk and discarded. A strange sparking red object caught his attention as it fell from Kieran's corpse. Having never seen anything beyond these caves, over the years, Zachary had developed an extremely vivid imagination and an intense curiosity about anything new that he encountered. Kieran's and Tiny's deaths had satisfied his curiosity about the tentacled whatever-it-was, but the strange red object... What was that??
Zachary heard Raine shout as he lunged forward and grabbed the glittering red object. Then he pivoted and took off after the beekeeper with every bit of speed he could muster. He kept his eyes forward but could feel the monstrous tentacle stabbing at his exposed back.
