Heights of the Depths
“When they would make camp, Eutok would lie there staring in the darkness and mutter, just before falling asleep, “We will likely wake up dead; something is going to go wrong.”
When they would awaken and recommence their travels, Eutok would say, “Just watch; today is when it goes awry.” Karsen would roll his eyes and try to ignore the Trull’s eternal pessimism. It wasn’t as if Karsen was relentlessly upbeat—truthfully, his thoughts were running along the same lines as Eutok’s—but if nothing... else he had the good grace to keep it to himself.
So they rode, mile after mile, knowing that at any moment they could find themselves in the middle of some insurmountable danger, perfectly aware that their quest could come to an abrupt and terminal end. Every turn, when the worst failed to materialize, it seemed nothing but a cruel precursor to the inevitable.
At first Karsen’s pronouncements were enough to fill Eutok with a growing sense of dread.MoreLess
