Aedan burst into movement, there was no point standing still when there was something trying to eat you whole. As he moved down a slope of sand, nearly tripping as he went, he suddenly felt the ground beneath him begin to give way. With a yell, he flung himself forward, coughing as sand entered his mouth. Overhead, the worm had burst from the sand and was a mere second from touching him. It hit the ground and burrowed itself under again.<br/><br/>Not wanting to stay for a second longer, he got up and ran, the exit seemed so far away, barely a hint of it past the dunes of sand and rock outcroppings. He decided to opt for self-preservation, instead of helping the two others who he barely knew. He leaped off the rock, it was darker here, but it was quiet, it was probably somewhere behind, losing its initial target once he had jumped onto the rock. He built up speed, his feet tugging him onward towards the exit.
