«Wake up», I heard someone whisper but I decided to ignore the voice, «Harry, wake up!»
Jenna shrugged my shoulders and I was forced to sit down.
«What the hell is it?»
«I heard noises on the other side of the wall... there is someone with us», she whispered in fear.
«It's impossible, there can't be someone, you're imagining it», I tried to make her think straight, but as usual she didn't hear any reason.
«I'm sure Harry, it must be»
«Well, did you hear a voice?»
«No... no, but some blows, light blows...»
«Mice?», I asked to bring her back to reality, «There are thousands of them in these caves»
She snorted and sat down next to me.
«I don't know how long I'll be able to keep it together», she shrugged, «Like this, with nothing with us. We have lost all our things, we could die of thirst... we have to hurry»
«Do you have an idea where to start?»
«I'm not sure... but in this kind of cave, when there are carvings, especially when it comes to ancient runes, it means that someone who has been here has decided to carve them. And if someone has decided to carve them, it means that he has been here and that he has overcome them all, of course, unless he has created all these strategies to get out»
«And knowing this can do us any good?»
«If my theories are correct, only a wizard knows the true runes. Even a werewolf knows them, but only approximately, they know more the spoken than the written runes. Randel always said it... and therefore... he could have been a wizard, and if he really was a wizard, I'm afraid that only magic can solve all these puzzles and get us out of here»
«Magic doesn't work inside the cave... have you forgotten that?»
«Yes, but I have the feeling that we are no longer inside the cave... the water, Harry»
«Water?» I asked, stunned by her intuition.
«The one we went through. It can't be under the cave, the spell would have found it uncomfortable, and the fire that attacked us in the beginning couldn't have been there. Instead I think this is a simple underground tunnel, beneath the earth's surface. This is why that woman said that we will no longer be attacked, because we have already left the actual Vasàn»
«You-are-a-genius», I exclaimed in amazement, «It couldn't be otherwise! You're right, damn right Jenna», I kissed her cheek in euphoria and I stood up.
«Well, I just spent the time constructively», she chuckled awkwardly.
«We must find a passage then, something that is easy to destroy, and move on»
«It's not that simple, we have to follow the engravings. They are a more than useful lead to follow in this case too»
«And do you see one?»
«Not here. But I'm sure that if we move forward we will find it»
«Well, let's move on then»
We both got up and started walking down the tunnel, it didn't seem very long to tell the truth, but it was like taking a walk down a dead end: once we got to the end, there was no way to continue.
