The lights begin to fade and light of the cave darkened once more. The path descended ward. She could tell the horses slowed snorted. The light of Jared's wagon shone they were still on a path.<br/>In the darkness, Jarod's cries were heard,  Lidia thought the soldier was forced to faced demons of his past. She wanted to get out the strange tunnel. All she could do was close her eyes and link her thought into his. Get up. Get up. Be brave and strong. I need you to lead me out.<br/>Lidia felt a dry chalky taste on her mouth. She realized her picnic basket was thrown somewhere. It appeared out of thin air as she reached for a flask of water. The water had not been touched gave sweet fruity flavor. She a few more gulps the water's taste turned sour; it was like drinking pure lemons. Then she took another gulp that tasted like gnats and hot coals that escape from a cook fire.<br/>Lidia saw a vision of herself looking at herself from the darkness. The visioned Lidia faced the sky; a winged creature swooped down with enormous, bat-like, wings, forced the real Lidia to duck in her wagon. The vision turned into a display of battle, figures in the winged creatures, screams and cries were heard, as the vision Lidia covered the ground with a wall of flames. The vision disappeared into darkness.<br/>The student screamed and was breathless, "Jarod! Branessau! Did you that? Something fell from the sky; it had wings unlike any bird.  A solid wall of fire sprang up from the ground."<br/>Lidia started to pull at her clothes and the leather reins felt sweaty. She wiped her hands on her dress and felt the fibers and the leather in her hands felt more than soft. She felt the tiny ridges, bumps, and wrinkles. It became more and more sensitive. The blond thought she was on the verge of stopping the wagon and removing her clothes.<br/>Lidia blinked and shaded her eyes. She breathed a large sigh of relief as the clip clop of the hooves turned muffled. "We made it! Were out!"
