As Whisper came to a stop on the ground, Catherine slipped off his back, unsteady on her feet as they hugged the ground.  Yet, taking a deep breath, she let it out with a sigh as the ground seemed to become solid and her balance was restored, as well as her stomach.  Remembering her companions, she turned to Whisper and thanked the creature who she knew had taken great care to make it as painless as possible for her.  For, while Catherine was usually brusque with humans and could flay an enemy with her tongue; she was usually pleasant and well mannered with those creatures who displayed no avarice and killed only for food.<br/><br/>"Shira, I can't say I enjoyed any of that, but we have covered a lot of distance very quickly.  Did you see anything that looked like it might be this entrance from the air?" she asked as she began to search for the best place to position themselves.<br/><br/>She hadn't been on the ground but a few moments, but her senses had gone back on alert as the prospect of the task ahead them was so close.  She hoped there were villagers left alive to rescue after she killed the Drow queen.  She'd seen what they did to their captives and not all humans were able to stand up to such treatment for long.
