“Well, we got them outside, at any rate,” a hoarse voice said in the darkness. “So, what do you plan to do next?”

“Destroy it,” D responded casually.

In fact, he said it so matter-of-factly, the other voice replied with a nonplussed, “Hmm, I see.” But that was quickly followed by an agitated, “What? Y-you mean this joint?”

“Where else?”

“Forget I asked! How could you take out such an enormous complex, anyway? By my estimates, it goes down around twenty miles, and stretches at least that far in each direction.”

“I’ll reverse the flow of the energy line.”

The hoarse voice fell silent. A short while later, it remarked, “Hmm. If you were to do that, the backflow of energy would definitely collect in the core, and once it ran over its capacity— boom! It’s just'—”

“Just what?” D said, asking a rare question.

“Honestly, it seems like an awful waste,” the voice told him. “Even for him, setting up this place must’ve taken tons of time. Yeah, I’d say roughly a thousand years.”

“Sixty days.”

“What?”

“From the start of construction, it was completed in exactly sixty days.”

“You are such a liar! Who said so?”

“This place.”

“Is that so? Now that you mention it, he made it. It wouldn’t be surprising for you to be able to tell that. The memories of all the years are imprinted on this place. But I was just thinking . . .” “What?”

“Have you forgotten the promise you made to the other you? If even one of Kuentz’s group made it out of here alive, you weren’t supposed to go into the facility for three days.”

“That’s exactly right.”

“But—” the voice began, and then it broke off.

The tone it took next carried such terror it would’ve frozen any who heard it. “Seriously, tell me you didn’t do that. . .”

After traveling to a spot that was about three hundred feet from the mountain’s summit as the crow flies, the pair halted. Footing was treacherous on the route along the exposed rock, and they were exhausted. More than anything, their feet ached. Their hands were also injured from where they’d grabbed the boulders every time they started to lose their balance.

“You’re pretty tough,” Kuentz said with admiration after watching Mia start to wrap a handkerchief around the palm and back of one hand. Blood instantly seeped into the white fabric.

“No, not really.”

“Those shoes are for level ground. Yet you move like a bird in them anyway.”

“I’m just used to mountain climbing from all the time I spent collecting plants and herbs to use in spells.”

“Just the same—”

“Never mind about me. If you’d be so kind as to figure a way for us to safely reach the bottom, brave sir.”

“Uh, sure,” he replied, somewhat flustered by her “brave sir” remark. Whether or not that was Mia’s intent, it’d had a special impact on Kuentz’s heart and his head. As he gazed at Mia, his eyes were feverish and his cheeks flushed. Apparently this was the first time the stalwart young man had been in love.

However, despite how
