A few lines from Fire and Amulet continuing the underground journey.To set the stage, Trellier shows Deneas a magical place at the end of the labrynth.
The circle of pale light that marked the end of the latest tunnel grew larger with each step. It provided just enough brightness to silhouette Trelleir’s frame. “Not long now,” he said.Deneas barely heard the encouragement above the low rush of water. She breathed a sigh of relief. If it hadn’t been for Trelleir’s stolid support, the journey through the interminable darkness would have been unbearable. Softly voiced directions in her ear and his hand on hers guided her around one last series of stone pillars and onto a narrow ledge. “It will take a moment or two for your eyes to adjust."
Repeated blinks cleared away some of the haze. Several more revealed that the world outside wasn’t shrouded in fog, she was looking at it through a living curtain of water. The tunnel opening was behind a waterfall. “It’s beautiful,” she whispered.
“Welcome to the outside world.” Pride filled Trelleir’s voice. Leading the way, he headed down stone steps carved by water. And, Deneas realized, also by man. The walkway ended at the moss carpet of a clearing. He dropped his pack and waved for her to do the same. “We can take a good rest here. No one from Darceth outside of your mother knows of this place’s existence.”
