Summary
Just a bit more.
The sand was falling harder from the stone ceiling, trickling down like a waterfall, stones that constructed the ceiling crumbled, and Kaveh tried to make his legs run faster to no avail. The continuous bleeding from his abdomen made him dizzy, weakening his hold on the unconscious boy, his body faltering and hitting the wall on his side when he felt a hand on his back.
There was a push.
And then, before he realized it, he fell forward, body lurching into the sand while something rumbled, creating noises so loud and rough vibration akin to an earthquake. Red eyes ignored the sting, and he forced his blink reflexes to stop as a hand fanned away all sand to clear his sight. All of that, and only to see that he was out of the now-collapsing temple, with a sharp realization that he had just narrowly escaped it. Call it his luck, but–
