As the door breaks clean off its hinges, the hungry blaze from within tastes a morsel of fresh air and instantly grows ravenous to consume you in searing teeth of heat and flame. A thick tongue of smoke lunges out to smother you, but you instinctively protect your watering eyes and mouth with your forearms. The heat is intense, but thanks to your reflexes, you manage to protect yourself just in time.
As you crouch low, Aeryna bolts from behind you and races to the stairs, covering her mouth with her cloak. She looks back to you for a moment, nods, then runs up to the second floor.
The fiery hunger of the cabin entrance subsides, visibly retreating enough for you to quickly scan the floor and see two rooms that don’t appear to be on fire yet; a library and what appears to be some kind of armory. Perhaps something in these rooms could provide you with a clue about what happened here or what Mars may have been up to. As you run deeper into the belly of the blazing beast, however, you are keenly reminded of a simple truth – here, if you do not make haste, you will be made food.
[WHERE DO YOU GO?]
