The harsh wind picked up as we got close then lessened once we hit clean air. There was nothing to funnel it out here but it still swept my skirt about something dreadful. “Don’t go too far down. Whatever Harry was here for wouldn’t have been below the second level.” “Why?” “Because nothing human goes down that far.” I let my hand trail along the slate as we descended. There were a few platforms to allow people to pass but we didn’t meet anyone. I stopped at the bottom of the steps. They felt solid enough but I had trouble trusting something only half held up by physical means. The air practically vibrated with spells. It would be telling which ones were going to bite us that would be the issue. Releasing Ali, I took out my tacs, putting them back in their little case. I still wanted the vids off them later if I could get them. In this place, it wasn’t vision that was going to get us back out, it was senses that Ali just didn’t have. Although I’d still need her to keep me from stepping completely off the edge.
