Jett grumbled and tried to move the rocks around them again. “If you can see someplace else, get us the fuck out of here.”

“I don’t think you want to go where I’m seeing right now. Unless you know how to breathe underwater.”

“I’ll learn.”

“No no no no no no no no. I’ll melt. Take me back to my cave.”

The blue tail moved again and now Azy had a clear view of the other scaled creature. “Ky Puru.”

“Shit. I was trying to keep him out of this.”

Ky Puru and the Mami Wata whose mirror Azy was looking out of were saying something, but she couldn’t hear Ky.

“Shush your faces, you two, I’m trying to hear.”

Azy strained to catch any words. “We’ll send someone right away if we see anything.”

Ky Puru nodded and swam away, toward the surface.

“If Ky is here, you should go through the mirror to him. We’ll figure out how to dig our way out of here if we have to.” Cage wiggled the sword, but there was no room to lift it.

The water did look delicious and cool. “Yeah, no. I’m not just leaving you three down here to see whose claustrophobia kicks in first. We go together, or we don’t go at all.”

“You’re as fucking stubborn as I am.” Cage grinned down at her. “If prude boy over there wasn’t so squeamish I’d have my way with you right here and now.”

Jett shifted, trying to put any sort of space between them. “Dear God. Burn me now.”

“I can’t control the visions on the mirror. They keep changing. I don’t know where we’d end up. There has to be another way out of here.

“We already know we work better together. Let’s put our heads together and figure out our next move.”

Fallyn started shouting in corner. “Ow. Ow. Ow. Why is there water dripping on me. I’m going to die.”

“Water? My root!” Azy wriggled her way down Cage’s body, passing an impressive package and promising to return to that later. She scooted along the cave floor, under everyone’s legs and then worked her way back up between Fallyn and Jett.

“Whoa, hey. I’m saying right here and now, I am not touching your mate in anyway inappropriate, she’s the one whose got her ass all up in my junk.”

Cage growled and the sword he couldn’t figure out how to get out earlier smacked the rock above his head.

Azy ignored their bro show and reached up above Fallyn’s head stopping the next droplet from hitting her. It ran down her finger and soaked into her parched skin.

“God, yes.” She moaned as another drop hit her skin and she brought it to her mouth. “Mmm.”

“Christ on cracker, woman. Those moans. Are you trying to get me killed?”

“Azynsa.” Cage’s voice was harsh and dark.

“Hakuna your tatas, fellas. I think I found our way out.” Her little root has sprouted tiny green leaves that crawled across the ceiling. “Cage, you got any of that sunshine left?”

“Yeah.” He sounded relieved.

“Shoot it on over here. This little guy is going to break us out.”

Chp 9 – Ain’t No Sunshine

Finally, something he could do that didn’t involve a rock jabbing into his asscrack. Cage mustered up the remaining energy he had from the sun and spun it into a ball. He’d been underground far too long, and this would be the last of the light he had to give. Hopefully, it did what Azy thought it would and get them out of hell once and for all.
