LOVE OF THE PHOENIX

We were deep in the ravines right now. It was tough going and we walked along, as I followed the voice as it guided me down to the underground stream. It was getting darker and colder now and I was pretty sure Wole would be pretty upset with us.

I didn't want to think about that. My throat burnt with thirst now, and I could see the bone tired exhaustion on Ivy and Flanagan's faces as well. It was a hard path. Underground, the stream might be flowing freely, but over ground it traversed a criss cross path, across rocks and boulders. We found ourselves pushing across crevasses in the rock, as well as now jumping across boulders to follow it.

Just a bit more ! said the voice encouragingly.

I didn't want to snap at it, but I was pretty much at the end of my tether. My feet hurt and so did my back now.

Ivy groaned as she hauled herself up another rock.
