"That came from the other side of the island," she muttered, eyes narrowing as she listened for aftershocks.
Beside her, Rian groaned, pushing himself up from where he'd been reclining against the cavern wall. He rubbed his temples, wincing as if the tremor had rattled his skull. "I take it that wasn't the welcoming fireworks?"
