Mated (Mortal, Book Two)
I keep walking, determined to find what I'm looking for.
Finally, I round a corner and see a small door. 323.
Station Nine.
My heart races. This must be it.
Lifting a fist, I knock. There's no response.
I knock again, louder this time.
"Enter," a feeble voice calls.
I open the door and step inside. The room is dark, and a single candle flickers in the corner. Sitting at small table is a small, slender man with a long, white beard.
In the opposite corner is a bed draped with a dark green blanket. The floor is smooth and made of stone, the walls made of dirt and rock.
