Leaving the Mines

Fred tried to strike up a conversation with Irena, but they were still so angry at each other that it degenerated into shouting. So Fred decided to simply ponder the many things which were troubling him. For one thing, he didn't like the fact that Irena thought of him as stupid. He had been fooled by her hoax, but this was hardly surprising, as if the legends were true almost anything could happen in a Dragon's cave. This was obviously what Sir Adrian had been gambling on.

But that wasn't Fred's biggest problem. Not only had the King been given a false map of the Caves, he had been given false information as to where they were located. If Tetrilonia was indeed behind this, then they would have to have allies in very high places, perhaps even among the King's advisers. This could very well be an attempt to subvert Allaria's prestige so that other nations would be less likely to aid Allaria if Tetrilonia invades. And if they do indeed have such powerful allies, than Allaria wouldn't stand a chance.

1. After quite a long time, they managed to make their way out of the mines.
2. Unfortunately, since so many of the landmarks were illusory, they got lost.
3. They managed to leave the mines, but found that the entrance to the mines was now in a desert! What the?
