“Don’t panic,” Zoya cautioned, tone soothing. “We do know approximately where you are, as you fell straight down. How far down is the question. What hints can you give us?”

“Not much. The opening above my head is the faintest grey. I can’t even see light, really, just a lighter patch of darkness. I’ve got a lot of open space below me, I can tell you that. Not even a hint of a floor.” I turned my head around carefully, as I still wasn’t sure what the net was attached to. Aside from my willpower. “The walls are this weird striated sort of material? I’m not sure what it is, to be frank. But there’s no openings.”

“Reagan, can you create a door? Any kind of opening?”

I think I saw where Klaus was going with this. “You think you can connect a Door to it, pull me out?”

“I’ll bet I can. I know approximately where you are, and it might take a false try, but I should be able to.”

I trusted his knowledge on this better than my own limited understanding of how his magic worked. All I knew was that a kobold could reach out to an approximate area, find a doorframe, and connect to it. As long as it was the right shape and in the right general area, their magic would connect the dots. It was likely more complicated than that, but it was how Klaus had explained it to me the time I’d asked.

“I think I can, but give me a second. I need to create a better floor to stand on. Right now I’m balancing my weight on a net.”

“Do so,” Klaus encouraged.

Because I wasn’t messing around, I went with a full steel floor, something that perfectly fit the edges of the round tube I currently found myself in, with mega I-beam supports running underneath it to hold it in place. Only then did I feel like I could breathe properly. With a sigh of relief, I untangled myself fully and stood. My floor didn’t even notice my body weight. Good floor. Floor is friend.

Since the surrounding wall looked and felt the same, I went with the patch in front of me to create a doorway-ish opening. It had a slight curve to the sides, but there wasn’t much I could do about that. “Klaus, it’s curving on the edges some, is that going to cause trouble?”

“It shouldn’t, but I’ll keep that in mind. Are you ready, then?”

“I am, yeah.” Really ready to get out of here. I was still a little nauseous, to tell you the truth. I wanted Gatorade and to lay down for a while. I was really starting to hate the Hub.

A Door abruptly appeared in the opening, as fully intact as if a carpenter had hung it there himself. It glowed to my magical sight, as every Door did, a clear indication that it connected to a different space beyond its immediate surroundings. I cheered before realizing the walkie-talkie button wasn’t pressed and quickly remedied that.
