King Ruin: A Thriller (Ruins Sonata Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
La sees it as she rolls on to her hands and knees, then feels it as the invisible whiplash bond gouges deep into the ground, splitting the muck down to the underlying plate. CRACK The sound deafens her even through the HUD, punches the ground into her face, and tosses her backward into her twin Ti. She struggles to right herself, only to see the wave rising. UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR it roars, a thick black jet of aerosolized mud blasting up from the whiplash-torn gouge. From La's position interwoven amongst Ti's limbs, it seems like a pillar to the sky, as thick around as the screw-room and growing wider, as more muck erupts from the crack in the earth. In seconds it is as long as the Bathyscaphe, then as long as the mud-hill they climbed out of, then it is a tsunami wall in its own right, made of screaming mud and rising "La, Ti!" Ray shouts over blood-mic. La spins to see him already on his feet and running toward them from the black road. The canyon has split them off from him by an impassable gap, and already the up-surging tide has almost cut him out of sight.
