So, he stealthily made his way down winding stairs, through unfamiliar halls, and as far as he could get down. A few Council members almost saw him.
Then, a half-hour later, he found a scary looking door that was unlike the other perfect doors in the building. They were elegant and smooth, while this one was dark and jagged. In fact, he noticed that the walls were no longer polished marble; they were stone. The door had something written on it: “Rornůr Kei-darf. Uio Rote-nighas.” Alex ignored it.
He entered through the door. It was dark, but he found a lit torch in the hallway and continued through. It led to lots of cold, black stone stairs, winding endlessly downward.
If this is the exit, thought Alex, they need to make a sign that says “This way to exit.” And maybe an occasional torch along the walls.
How is it? I have a date for release set up for the book. 2010! I know, that's not specific. But it's something!
