Chapter 34

The training maze is like an underwater castle made of coral and rock. Inside the maze, corridors and levels twist and turn in a confusing mess, leading back into itself, or into rooms or dead ends. In sections of the maze the seaweed has been left to grow long and wild like a jumble of arms. In other sections shards of mirror-coral reflect a million mazes. In a room deep in the belly of the maze, cages of electric eels are kept.

Alyx finds the section of maze where large conch shells have been discarded by giant hermit crabs. She half-buries herself into the sand below, and pulls a large shell over her head. Here she waits.

What happened? How did she get here? Even if she gets out of Michaelea without being caught, where will she go?

Her mind flashes to the seraphelles who work at the night races. She imagines herself being dressed by the RaceKeeper and being put out on show. She shudders. Never. There must be another way.

Israel. She could find Israel. Then what? What will they do? How will she protect him? She is only one Seraphim against the Darkened?

She needs to expose Elder Michael’s secret army. She needs to warn the other Seraphim. But who is on Michael’s side? And what would she say? She had no proof. Turn against the Elders? Was she crazy? No one would believe her. Like Raphael all those years ago.

Raphael. Alyx feels a pang of empathy for the Oracle who lived and died almost two thousand years ago. He decided to speak up and was persecuted for it.

Symon was right. It is easier to pretend you don’t know.

But Alyx can’t pretend to be ignorant, even if she wanted to. She can’t go back. If she makes it out of Michaelea she may never be able to return.

Alyx rubs her face then pulls the shell tighter to her. It’s hopeless. She starts to feel her sanity crumbling apart. No, just keep it together long enough to get out of here. Then worry about what is next.
