Sibern kept following the tunnel in which Audiana and Izzad had disappeared into. The only light he had at hand, was the reflections from some invisible external source, probably from some small gap bringing in the light of day. But it felt so distant down there that they might have been in some underground tomb, dating thousands of years back. And perhaps that was true. From what he had heard the Underways already existed before the construction of Riften, which meant that they hadn't been constructed by mankind. It made him feel uneasy, as to what kind of creatures would have constructed this labyrinth of tunnels and to what purpose.

Further up ahead, the tunnels got a bit brighter than before. The whole place had an ominous feeling to it.

"Audiana?!" he called out. "Audiana!"

No answer.

"Dammit", he cursed. "No sign of her and..."

He was cut short in his sentence as he suddenly tumbled in the tunnel over something, knocking his head against the stone wall.

"Argh! Fucking hell!" he cursed and rubbed his forehead, feeling how blood slowly ran down.

He then looked around to find what he had tripped over. What he saw made his blood curdle. Izzad, the Servant, was dead. The top of his skull had been removed with precision, whereupon someone had taken the liberty of removing its insides. Blood was still pooling out of the sawn-off top. Sibern struggled to keep his insides intact, but he wanted to throw up so badly at the sight of this monstrosity.

''It seems that the Pale Man had yet another name to put a cross over on his list... ''

Then it hit him... Audiana... Where was she?! He stumbled to get up on his two feet again. The blood from his forehead got into his eyes, and the overall stress brought about his headaches again. He needed to find her. She could be in danger for all he knew. She most have gotten separated from Izzad further into the tunnels and run off on her own. He needed to get to her, before she was way out of reach. After that, only a pure miracle could save her from ever finding her way back again... Him as well for that matter...
