Chapter 2

They were inseparable in their wanderings over stone, through trees and
under ledge. He grew to love her joyous laugh and unbridled sense of wonder
at all that they saw and did. She was fearless and this entranced him as
they went on their adventures. One day they are felar dancing down a ledge,
showing off to each other, when suddenly rock gave way and she fell down
the slope. It was a long fall through rock scree and short shrubs growing
up the steep incline and he saw that she had rolled onto a road! They were
on the edge of the unknown lands, a place they were not supposed to be.
Short black dwarves no more than four and a half feet tall were coming
down the road and saw the young fela. She was badly hurt and was unable to
avoid them as they came at her, cuffed her and bound her up. Khronin could
only watch as she was bundled off in the wagons of the duergar. A sharp
squeaky roar echoed off the walls of the gorge emitted by Khronin in his
despair. But there was nothing he could do. The duergar glanced about but
could not tell where the sound had originated. They shrugged and went on
their way to the slave market in the black city to the north.
