clearly see a bright light from the end of the tunnel up ahead. “Lili you may want to cover your eyes,” said Dawn.
Lili looked at her puzzled, “Why would I need to do that?” She asked.
“Because we are about to exit the tunnels into the world above. You are used to the dimmer lights of the caverns and the lights of these tunnels. You have never seen the brightness of the sun, it could blind you. You will need to slowly let your eyes adjust to the new light,” said Dawn
“Oh, I see,” said Lili as she put her hands over her eyes. She could feel the heat from the sun as Dawn exited the tunnel and she could see the brightness even through her hands, it still hurt her eyes a bit but they were slowly taking it in.

Kev had never been on one of the ships before, his job had never required him to do any type of work on the ships and for that he was thankful as he hung his head over the side. He was green with sickness and thankful that he hadn’t eaten much because it all came up and he had nothing left to give. The others paid no mind to him as he suffered in his misery, they were too busy talking privately and scheming about what they were going to do to Lili once they caught her.
He still had no idea what he was going to do but he knew he had to find some way to get to her and help her, to make it up to her for what he’d done to her. He only hoped that she would find it in her to forgive him for his stupidity.
It was several hours into their journey before his stomach finally decided to settle down and he started getting used to being on the water. It was just about this time that they spotted the other boat heading back towards them. One of the councilors was yelling to stop that ship. They were all scrambling about on the deck like a bunch of lost children. The guardians that had accompanied them had technology with them that allowed them to extend some type of line from one ship to the other pulling the two ships together. They were able to quickly jump to the other ship and stop the engines.
“Search the ship, find the girl,” yelled Councilor Tor.
They ran to the hold where they had locked her up only to find the lock had been broken and the hold empty. There was no sign of the guardian that had been guarding her. They searched the rest of the ship but found nothing. “She must have jumped ship on the shore someplace. Councilor Tor take her friend Kev and one guardian, continue on and find them I will take the others back in this ship, the guardians will begin searching above the tunnels,” said Councilor Eva.
Without any more words the group split up and Kev headed off with the councilor and a guardian. He liked the fact that the numbers had dwindled down but the fact remained there was still a guardian with them and that was a problem he had no idea how to solve.
The guardian was guiding the ship and steered it in a course slightly off from where the other ship had come from. “Why are we not staying to the course of the other ship guardian?” the councilor asked.
“That would be illogical, the only means of escape from this side of the lake would be to the surface and the point of entry into the tunnels to the surface is in this direction, so we sail to the door,” said the guardian.
“Oh, good point,” said the councilor.
Kev felt a little frustrated with the knowledge that the guardian held, he had hoped that Lili would have more time to gain distance from them but at the same time he wanted to be able to find her and try to help her, if she would still let him.
