The flames grew ever stronger. The monster kept swaying, and its hands quickly burned into ash. The pile of skulls on the ceiling creaked endlessly before suddenly losing all control—an avalanche of skulls rained down at once, nearly burying the three of them.

Zara quickly supported Susan, and they followed Jessica.
