In the Sewer
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 33409
|
Fred and Astra had found themselves in total darkness, but the smell left
them in no doubt that they were in the sewers, or to be more precise in
the underground stream into which Caemlyn emptied its chamber pots when
not throwing the contents onto guards. It could have been worse, though.
Recent months had been dry, so that the water was waist deep rather than
any higher.
Fred felt his way along the wall with his left hand, holding hands with Astra with his right so that they did not get separated. Every so often they could hear the splash of water, when a tributary stream joined the main one that they were in. Fred was a little insulated by his armour, but Astra felt various objects bump against her legs from time to time, and tried not to think about what they might be. If they kept heading in the direction of the flow, they assumed that sooner or later they would emerge in the open air. But ten minutes passed, and then another ten, and then another. "We must have gone a couple of miles by now," Astra said. "How much further can it be?"
