Dungeon Crawl (Loot Sisters #1)

Vera tucks the gem away like a kangaroo with a pouch, her hand lingering in the fabric pocket. “I’ll keep it safe.”

I narrow my eyes, suspicion sour as bile in my ravaged throat. 

“Appointing yourself as our leader then, are you?” Rach speaks before I can. She’s a breath from drawing her sword, eyes shiny like blackened beads.

Vera sniffs and turns. “I’m the spellcaster here. You can’t tell a curse from a boon.”

Felicia suddenly gives an urgent tug to my elbow. “Shush! Argue later. What’s that?”

Golden light crackles across the floor, ancient stone heaving.

“Run!”

Written for The Prediction. This week’s challenge words were appoint, kangaroo, and urgent. I didn’t know how to use kangaroo until I decided to do something inspired by litRPG and progression fantasy. :) Photo by Jed Owen on Unsplash
