During my meal, the servant from my room returned looking pale to whisper to me that Maya had suggested that I should attend her in her rooms. I thanked her, then after I had finished breakfast- the first meal I had actually been able to taste in days- I asked one of the male guards to show me to Maya's quarters.
He looked startled, but bowed and led me into the tunnels.
I'm not sure what I expected, but it wasn't a twenty-five minute walk through the halls, deeper and deeper into the catacombs of the underground Palace.
After the first ten minutes we were further underground than I had ever been, even when Cazz had taken me to the Den. But it wasn't until we took a corner and there were long, deep shadows between the torches that were lit on the sides of the tunnel
