From the Caves
by Thea Prieto
I'll check the roots, says Sky, and he trots up the passage before Mark can stop him.

He has dragged himself closer to the fire, his ribs pumping fast from the effort. The hot touch of his skin stings Sky's fingertips, but he still tugs Teller away from the fire, to where the warmth is drawn upward into the windy main passageway already lit gray with early morning.
