The tools it all seemed make the passage man made not a natural tunnel.  Did she choose the right path, by following the water.  While was this path cut out?<br/><br/>Her answer suddenly hits her, as she comes to the dead end.  Quite different as she seems a woman literally stuck in the wall.   Nude her back side facing her, a section of her hair brown like the earth.  Would break off, brittle yet the woman seems alive.<br/><br/>I don't move, for I have a sudden suspicion.  I look then over the woman the part I can see.  I look for that familiar mark, the one that is on the small of my back.<br/><br/>For is this what the curse leads to.  The animated gemstone comes back to my thoughts, all of it  at once. My mind is swirling, as I look for that mark. Held spellbound while wanting to just flee.
