| 234 Dangling from the small jutting stone you gaze down into the Neverending Deep below. The hole disappears into a black bottomless pit, a strong icily cold wind blowing upwards out of the depths below. Steeling yourself you slowly begin the climb that will take you to safety. Handhold by handhold you inch upwards, your fingers feeling each small crack in the stone, each ledge or bump that can afford you support.. It is however, all in vain. Some two metres from the stairs your left hand, slick with sweat and fatigued by exertion, slips away from the rock and you hang by your right hand momentarily. In the end your strength gives way and you fall out and down into the Neverending Deep below. In this cursed hole you will fall forever, starving to death in a void of rushing wind and endless dark. Here your journey ends. Perhaps in a future life you will have more success. __________________________________________________________ Home | ReadMe | Instructions | Inhabitants | Map of Northern Kalborea Quick Find Page| Email | Book Two - Earth and Stone
