Six more sleep periods past and Ryckair and still had no idea as to how far they had to go. Provisions were running low. Fortunately, Batu’s leg had healed and he no longer needed the spear to walk, though he had a limp.

The trail abruptly plunged into a tunnel that opened up into a narrow trough whose top rose beyond the reach of their lights. After another sleep period, the canyon ended at a rock face with two tunnel entrances. The left passage continued on level while the right slanted down.

After conferring with Batu and Theb, the prince choose the left tunnel. Within a hundred paces they came to another split in the road with three passages. The center one climbed up while the others continued on the same level.

Again, they consulted before taking the center road on the theory that it was best to continue up. The company soon came to a small chamber. Only the first dozen of the company were able to fit inside. Four more tunnels led off at the same level.

Batu said, “We seem to have found a maze.”

Ryckair studied the room. “This place reminds me of something from a very old book.” A spherical bulge protruded from the rock face directly across from the entrance. Two of the new passages ran off to the right side of it and the other two to the left.

He looked back to the entrance they had come through. “There were guards here. I am certain of that. The tunnels was a defense. First two, then three, then four. That’s how you knew you were on the right path.” The old song he had heard Mirjel’s cousin sing came to mind.
