"No way am I going back up there." Tal responded, following Valehna through the passage and stopping in the entrance. He placed a hand on the bookshelf so that it wouldn't be knocked over before Mesaraih and Ester could get through. His feet were unsteady, everything shaking violently as if Valehna was casting another earthquake.<br/><br/>"Hurry!" He called to the other two, glancing over his shoulder at Valehna to make sure she was still stood upright.<br/><br/>Ester had hesitated, her eyes fixated on the stairs that were now crumbling into nothing. What if the Dwarves had lied to them? What if they were going to be stuck underground with Darkspawn for however long they could survive? She thought back to the comfortable beds in the houses, wishing she'd not taken them for granted and actually got a good nights sleep. A piece of the ceiling dropped beside her and it shook her out of her thoughts, she flinched before turning around to walk through the doorway.<br/><br/>Once she was through she didn't look at Valehna or Tal, instead she walked ahead. She remembered what the Dwarves had said, right for lyrium, left for escape. She wasn't sure what the others wanted to do, but she certainly wasn't concerned by the deal they'd made with the spirit right now. The elf began to walk down the left passage, not waiting to see if anyone followed.<br/><br/>"Where are you going?" Tal shouted, getting frustrated with Ester's unreliability.
