And I won't regret the lives I didn't lead
I knew you, I loved you
With as many times as Sam had braved the underground caves in the Hollowed Ground to see the Voice (and more recently to find the Prince), he thought that the tunnels of Torchline would be something almost familiar for him to explore, certainly not a particular challenge - it appeared this assumption had been incorrect. From the moment he had stepped within the dark entrance he had felt it was a mistake...but he had a duty to fulfill for The Voice, so he forced himself to walk further.
After a little while it became less eerie, his own footsteps forming a sort of comforting rhythm and the darkness becoming almost boring over time. Sometimes he would hear what sounded like a person rushing by in the edges of his vision, but he never quite saw them and it was easily enough excused as his imagination when he had to summon the bravery to continue.
When his footsteps began to sound a little wet, he thought nothing of it at first. Just a puddle, or a lower part of the tunnels where the tide had once come in and not entirely left. Shortly after though, he began to hear a rushing noise, hard to recognise but alarming all the same, growing closer and closer - only when he realised it was the approach of a great deal more of water did he panic. Looking about, he saw an opening in the upper part of the tunnel, one that seemed to bend up and away from the downwards path of the water.
Using Loren's attuned power he transformed into a goose to fly and squeeze up into the passage, coming out in a small cave that would just about keep him from the flood as it passed. Wide eyed he stared down the hole, waiting to see the deluge.
