"Over here!" she shouts quiet as she dare and she can hear the tremble in her own voice as she does.

One, or both of them is going to die here in this place, and here, at the edge of tears in the darkness, she understands that somehow more clearly than she ever has before.
Outside there is a dragon and a strange village-like-place full of people who want to kill her. She's cold and she is tired and hungry and feeling the effects of all three to an extent she never has before. She has Ruby here, yes, but even her brave strong friend is not faring this game much better than she is.
The mountain shudders around them, and its hard to know if the groaning, screeching echos sounding throughout the entire area, are coming from the beast above, or the metallic innards of the slowly rotting mountain itself.
She shuts her eyes and breaths. Counts through the fear that wants to overtake her. 1... 2... 3...
