This journey might very well be the Elliot twins' last. With King Shrailzhar's Armies chanting, "Jennifer must fall, never again to rise," and flying savages that keep circling Asphelia's Hollow, it would seem that the traps and snares might finally be too much to overcome ... even for them.
Perhaps, this is the reason that the sun has veiled itself; it cannot bear to look upon the demise of the Travelers. Surely, the moon knows a secret that can only be whispered in the great drops of blood that it throws down.
If Jennifer can be dragged into the Adder's pit, even while the others fight to keep her out of such a diabolic dungeon, how will any of the Traveler's ever trust the Shailma's for their own deliverance?
Trust in the unseen must become greater than the fear of the seen if the Travelers are to have any hope at all. While this is the end for one, it will be only the beginning for another.
