I stared into the abyss before carefully backing away from the sheer drop. Swallowing as I felt the rock crumbling beneath my fingers and I realised one more step, blinded and choking on the ash, would have seen me plummet over.

“At least you’re not burning to death,” Helen almost snapped

“True,” I agreed, before adding as I shivered in the cold mountain air, “Although hypothermia isn’t much better.”

“Then we better move.” Helen pointed down the mountain. “Our next anomaly. Try and keep up this time.”
