“<b>I've never seen such a symbol before.” Allasea craned her neck to stare at it before shaking her head. “No healer I know would use such a thing.”<br/>
<br/>
Allassiel studied the image. No, she agreed with Allasea. Who would use a symbol such as Lotharn described as one for healing? However, it was a clue. But what did it mean? She went to the main entrance to only to find the same symbol, only mirror imaged. “Well that doesn't help,” she muttered under her breath, staring from one to the other. “Or … Allasea,” she asked, keeping her voice down, “Which way is the snake pointing?”</b><br/><br/>“<b>Snakes don't point,” Allasea replied, though she turned and looked at the symbol again. “It couldn't be that simple.”</b><br/><br/><b>Timberlane picked up Allassiel's train of thought and studied both symbols. “They're the same but not, created to mirror themselves – and both pointing up.”</b><br/><br/>“<b>Up.” She craned her neck and pointed to the ceiling of the chamber, where a perfectly carved hole opened to the darkness above. “Not left or right, but up. Lotharn, hoist me up.”</b><br/><br/><b>Behind them, through the doorway, came a commotion and the scraping of a door. “And quick,” Allasea added as Jax came in, his hackles raised. “Something's wrong, I'm going to go check.”</b><br/><br/><b>Haldir grabbed his javelin and strode towards the entrance. “Not alone, you won't.”</b><br/><br/>“<b>We'd best make haste,” Timberlane said, lighting the end of his torch with a quick spell. “The sooner we get what we came for, the faster we can get out of here.”</b>
