It sounded familiar.“DRIL?” Vlad jogged down the tunnel.  “Dril where are you?  Tell me where you are!”Dril’s voice cried out louder in pain. Kham tried to stop Vlad but he was already past him.  “Althares!  That’s not Dril!”Vlad paused.  The crying came from another tunnel.“Dril?” Vlad turned back to Beldin. “Is it over here?”“No it's over here,” said Beldin. “DRIL!” shouted Vlad at the top of his lungs.  He looked around desperately. “Well, don’t just stand there! Look for him!”Kham shook his head.  “His body was in Semar.”“We didn’t find a body!” Vlad’s voice cracked. “We’ve seen stranger things!  Maybe the Unspeakable One took him!” He turned back to the tunnels. “Tell me where you are Dril!”“Somebody!” came Dril’s voice.This time they all heard it.  It was undeniably Dril’s voice. “Okay,” Kham said carefully. “That can't be him.”“Someone!” shouted Dril’s voice. “I need help please!  Please help me, gods!”Vlad ran down a low corridor that led away, sloping slightly upwards.  Only a little way in it became clear it is deep and very long.  “Vlad,” shouted Kham behind him.  “Slow down!”“Dril?” Vlad shouted. “Vlad!” shouted Kham.  “Vlad!“Come on!” Vlad was frantic, near hysteria.  “I hear him!” “Vlad do not...” began Sebastian.  He was cut off again by Dril’s voice.  “Please, help!”Vlad was urged on, running faster towards the source of the voice. He stopped in the tunnel.  Dril’s voice had been there but seconds ago. “Where is he?”Kham caught up to him. “Is he in here?”“No.” Vlad looked around.  “Damn it.”“No!” shouted Dril’s voice.  “Gods!”“I hear him!” Vlad took off again at a sprint.  “I hear you!  Where?  I'm coming down the tunnel!”“Over here!” came Dril’s muffled voice. “Where are you?” He yelled over his shoulder at Kham. “Come on!  Dril?” Kham struggled to keep up.  Sebastian, with his huge wings, had difficulty navigating the passages.  Beldin was right behind him.“Dril?  Dril!?  Dril is that you down there?”Vlad reached the end of the tunnel and stopped.  Kham skidded to a halt behind him.“Althares,” was all he whispered.</blockquote>
