Danesh could refuse, and let the lady go first, but then, they might die of old age first.  So, he settles down on the glowing line.  Even from what he had been told, and seeing what Jacob and Zephyr are going thru, it is something of a shock.  Any thought that Inanna is behind him is driven from his mind.  Step by step, he forces himself to take.  If they can do this, then so can he.<br/><br/>Despite the feeling that his whole body was being torn apart, despite the sparks and resistance that wanted to make him stop, he pushes on.  After what seems like an eternity of pain, he breaks thru and stands at the end.  Trying not to let on about the ordeal he has just gone thru, he waits, getting his breath back.  Then, remember the part about the Grand Circle, he concentrates on it...<br/><br/>And suddenly, he is there.  He starts to turn, to take it in, before the sight of the Lion freezes him in his tracks.  He can only stare at the Lion, at its majesty, the urge to touch it strong, but unsure if he is worthy.  So, he just watches the Lion, until the voice of his mother snaps him out of his daze.<br/><br/>One thing though, this was most definately a day to remember.
