At the bottom of the blackest hole
For some reason, Alys hoped that she could win the Ancient over, if only to pay forward the kindness that she had been shown in her life beyond the Hollowed Grounds. Alas, it was not to be; the seer could practically watch the walls rising around Maea. She swallowed her disappointment.
But when the Ancient revealed that Alys might have been on the menu, the woman's eyes widened. She'd been afraid - of course she had. She was well aware that she was small and weak, and she'd heard rumors of the bloodlust of the Ancients. But to know and to know were two different things, and she found that the knowledge that she could have died today was a bit more than she could bear.
Death had never scared the seer, but things were different now. She had friends. She'd found her family. And they depended on her just as much as she depended on them. A shiver ran up her spine at the thought of how close to death she'd apparently come.
"It's worth a shot," she argued, but she wasn't sure she meant it; she'd never willingly risk herself, not when she had so much to live for. She swallowed hard, looking away. "I guess I'll... leave you to your meal." And she took a step away.
