Turk still regretted not being able to figure out the secret of getting the axe out of the wall, but maybe it was for the best. Who knows, maybe it was as evil as the creature imprisoned in the sarcophagus?They lost track of how long they walked and the only light they had was Turk’s ever burning torch. They had nearly nothing to tell time. They knew they hadn’t been here more than a hours since they hadn’t had much need for food or rest.  It felt like longer to all of them, but they had been locked in the ship’s hold prior to making their way here, wherever here was. The more time they spent here, the more Kierwin felt that they were no longer on their own world or their own “plane”, but she didn’t know much about things like that. She’d only heard about that from her elders at the temple.The runes on the sarcophagus and the tiny pyramid that she’d found really bothered her. There was only one that she could really read and the others were vaguely familiar, but different. Hauntingly different. Elhonna was with her, but it was a god that she’d never heard of that was worshipped here. She was pretty sure it was a god that nobody she knew had ever heard of (or at least that they hadn't mentioned) that people here worshipped.  She decided not to say anything since she wasn’t sure of any of this. She didn’t know anything for sure, she was no expert, these were just feelings and she didn't want to worry anyone for no reason.  When it mattered, if it ever did, then she would tell them her suspicions.********Minx was concerned for her friend. Snap just wasn’t acting like the Snap she knew. He’d never acted like this before, the elves had always treated him well, but after he’d left, who knows what had happened to him. What she really didn’t understand was why he refused to talk to her. She’d always been closer to him than Kierwin had, but both she and Kierwin had been friends with him.  It was just that Snap had been into magic along with her and Kierwin spent a lot of time in the Temple.She’d never understood why Snap had left. Everything had been fine, and then he’d seemed to distance himself and one day he’d said his goodbyes to them and left the Misty Isles. They hadn’t seen him again until they’d fallen into that room that led them into the lower level of the pyramid.  He seemed ashamed of his appearance or afraid of the others, unless it was something she couldn't think of.What would happen when Thorin and Turk found out what Snap was?  There weren't very many people who reacted without violence when they first met a half-orc.  From what little Minx knew about Thorin, he hated all forms of Orcs.  As for Turk, she knew very little, but she was betting he felt the same as Thorin.  What about Geirmund and Osa?  She knew she didn't have to worry about Rowena, she just followed and ate.Maybe between her and Kierwin they could convince Turk and Thorin that Snap was a good person. On the other hand, maybe Snap’s actions would speak for themselves. A small voice inside her that she tried to ignore whispered to her that she didn’t even know if this Snap was still the Snap she’d know for so long. She might just be hoping he was still a good person. She refused to listen to that quiet voice! Of course he was still the good and honorable Snap!  Nothing would change him that drastically!  He’d prove it, he just needed the opportunity.Until everything was out in the open and she had a chance to find out what had happened, she was going to watch over him. She knew Kierwin would. The three of them were close and always would be.  They’d take care of each other, and take care of the group. She wasn’t too sure about Turk, but she liked Thorin and the rest. So far Turk hadn’t done a single thing she really had against him, she just thought he was a little too arrogant, and she really didn’t approve of arrogance, especially in a human.  She just planned to keep an eye on him for now, she would set him straight if it came down to it.Her thoughts were interrupted when they came to a locked door.</blockquote>
