Oh, how she hated this place! Nasreen had taken wrong turns before, but nothing had ever ended quite as badly as this. She had been in the cave, wandering along in the semi-darkness, when she had gone down a passageway that led straight to this pitch-black hole. She had tried to turn around, but the blackness was so complete here, almost an entity in in itself, that it seemed to swallow her whole. The mare suppresses a whimper. It is bad enough that she is trapped down here beneath the earth; add being lost in the dark to the equation and she just might fall apart.
“H-hello?” she calls out softly. She is faintly surprised when the echo takes a few moments to fly back to her straining ears. The room, though dark, must be massive. But anything could be down here, she realizes, and the thought makes her back a few involuntary steps. If there is anyone here who wishes to harm her, there isn’t much that she can do. That is a paralyzing thought. She needs to get out of here.
If she can find the wall, she reasons, she can follow it back into the main part of the cave. She doesn’t know if the way she’d facing will lead her deeper into the darkness or back into the faint light, but panic is beginning to clench its meaty fist around her fluttering heart. Just find the wall, Nasreen tells herself, before fear immobilizes her completely. Sucking in a shaky breath of metallic cave air, she unfurls her wings, hoping to brush rock with her feathers. There is nothing.
She begins to sidestep right, hoping that if she continues to move in one direction, she’ll hit something eventually. She had never been much afraid of the dark, but this pit is giving her second thoughts…
