Prompt Word: Cant
Hunter James 5
Kieff jumped down from the wall he’d climbed up. It was a long drop, but he was less scared of the cave floor than the purple glow in the gaping wall.
Bowen was confused, “What’s got you so spooked?”
Andi smacked Bowen on the back of the head, Tanya looked at him like she wanted to. Kieff replied, “It was the eerie glow like the moment before the end of a witch’s cant.”
Bowen started up the wall himself. Much slower than Kieff, being of broader build.
Andi tried to stop Bowen, “What are you doing? Don’t mess with pending spellcraft!”
Tanya and Kieff had backed up half way to the entrance hall, half expecting something to happen to Bowen.
Bowen grunted as he struggled up the ropes, “We’re here to find out what happened to Jake, and if a witch threw parts of the wall at him, I want to find what I can.”
Bowen reached the top of the rope, and pulled himself into the gap in the wall. Even Andi backed up to join the other two.
