The creature looks up, still passing the globe back and forth, the silvery light reflecting off of its eyes, which have stopped glowing red, and are instead shifting colors, from brown, to green, to ice blue, and back again, over and over.

'What are you?' she demanded. A small voice inside wondered if she should have said 'who' are you...she stepped forward cautiously, kneeling a little way from it. Then she said it;
'Who are you?'

The creature raised one clawed hand, pointing at Sati's heart.

'No no no no no..' she mumbled, her heart thumping. It couldnt be - she was crazy! That's what it was, tired from the journey. She couldnt voice what she suspected - but the words burst from her lips.
'Silver - tell me thats not you,' she said, a hand at her mouth.

The creature smiled, and with the sound of shattering glass the illusion failed, showing Silver strapped into some sort of suit of armor, his mouth gagged, chains holding him in place.

'Silver!' she cried out, rushing over to him, her eyes filled with tears that she blinked away.
'What happened to you,..' she said, as she removed his gag, looking at the chains and armour. How was this to be removed?

Silver coughs a little and manages to croak out "Water first please?"

'Of course,' she said, leaving him to fetch her pack and taking it back to him. She pulled out the water-flask, opened it and held it to his mouth;
'Drink my love.'

Silver took a big sip of water, followed by a second before pulling away from the water bottle. "After we got seperated by that steel block, I wandered through the tunnels. There where a few minor challenges, nothing too great. And as I'm walking up this slope, this spider drops on my shoulder and bites me and I black out. Next thing I know, theres this monk standing before me and i'm strapped into this thing, and he tells me i'm going to have to fight you, and he gags me and does something, and disappears."

'And I thought I had a bad time,' she said, putting the flask to one side, and stroking his face.
'I dont know how to get this stuff off you though,' she said.
'I'm sorry I attacked you,' she said.
'I didnt realise - I didnt have a clue until you bought out that globe.'

Silver smiled a little. "Its okay love. As for getting out of this stuff, there's a room behind me, and there should be my pack and a set of keys, if I remember correctly."

She nodded, standing and going to fetch both his pack. There was indeed some keys and she picked them up, hurrying back to his side to release him.

Silver stands, streaching, taking up his pack. "Now the question is where to ....
As silver speaks, there is a rumbling sound, and a tunnel opens on one side of the meadow, well lit with torches, with a spot of daylight at the end.
Go. Well, I guess that answers that question, huh? Shall we?"

'One moment,' said, pulling him into a hug. She squeezed him tightly, showering his face in kisses. She released him with a smile, picking her pack up.
'Okay,' she said.
'I'm ready now.'

Silver leads the way into the tunnel, which slopes upwards, emerging on a cliff overlooking a large caldera, with two prongs of the mountain jutting above it. Situated in the caldera is the monastery itself, filling it completely. "Well, we've found the monastery, now we just have to get down there."
