Would there be no end to these passageways? Feeling raw and vulnerable, she was at first reluctant to leave Fulcrom’s side, but he persuaded her that this mission with Ulryk was the lesser of the evils available.

At this stage, they entered such complete darkness that she had no sense of where she was, what time had passed or how Ulryk could discern where they were going.
