From the steep declination of the path it was evident to Melaskkoli that they were progressing deeper and deeper into the heart of the mountains. His new-found guide showed little interest in him, other than an occasional glance over his shoulder to ensure that the young human was keeping pace. The air had grown noticeably warmer the further underground they ventured. The brutal glare of the cavern had long ago receded back into the darkness. Once again their only sources of illumination were the green mosses that grew on every side. It seemed to Melaskkoli that either the darkness had become more profound, or the luminescence shed by these primitive plants had increased, for they did seem to shine more brightly here. He had little time to observe these, for the ground here was rough and uneven, and he had to watch his footing carefully. However, this posed no problem for his companion who, now that he could observe the fellow more clearly, was able to drift easily over the sharply undulating surface. Although this being’s appearance - and bizarre abilities - still caused him some alarm, he had dismissed all notions of escaping this strange world on his own account. Like it or not, this fellow Gorval remained his only possible means of liberation from this underground prison. He had lost all track of time; it might have been the brightest noon above, or the darkest hour of the night for all he knew. The one hope to which he clung was that the creature had shown no overt hostility; and despite its unprepossessing appearance it might still prove an ally.
