Alone
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 57122
|
Carola looked around her. She recalled the words of Qundarian when he had
first told them of the quest: "Further up this particular tunnel is an
area of great peril...but beyond is a shrine, in which is held a mystical
relic which is of interest to me, a silver ring." [15887] She had had her
suspicion that he had been misleading about the distance involved ever
since the party had reached the grassy plain as, so far as she could tell,
at that point they were no longer in the caves. Now her suspicion was much
stronger. This "Level 2", whatever that might mean, was definitely no
longer within the caves.
She was standing on a track that led through what seemed to be a tropical jungle. The undergrowth on either side was so thick, and possessed such vicious-looking thorns, that leaving the trail at this point was clearly out of the question, since her bare legs would be cut to ribbons. It was hot and humid, but little sunlight managed to filter through the forest canopy high above. There was no sign of her companions. Remembering her walkie-talkie, [40220] she took it from her pack, depressed the button and said: "This is Carola. Can anybody hear me?"
