the earth growls

You move deeper through the shelves, shifting your balance as the floor angles downward. The rumbling intensifies, and you grip along the shelves to keep your footing. Novembius is quiet beside you.

The light fades as you descend further, and you use the shelves to fumble carefully forward. The rumbling crescendos, and then abruptly stops.

You light the candle, and illuminate the Maker.
