| Fred-Hannah perused Belboz's book for over an hour before finally giving
up in frustration. The book was written entirely in runes, making it completely
unreadable to anyone but a magic-wielder trained to read runes - a skill
which took years to learn.
Dejectedly, Fred-Hannah moped around the necromancer's cave. She had no way of undoing what Belboz had done to her, and no clue how to proceed. Do I go on or go back? Am I a knight, trapped in a young girl's body? Or a young girl, sharing her body with a knight? Who am I? Oooooh, I hate this! In frustration, Fred-Hannah kicked a rock on the cave floor. Instantly, two sections of the cave wall seemed to swing inward, each revealing a secret passage. Fred-Hannah stared in fascination. The passage to the left was
long and straight and suffused with a dull golden incandescence, while
the one on the right veered away, but seemed to have a bright blue faintly
distant.

Boldly, Fred-Hannah went down the left-hand
passage.
