Chapter 66: Archive
A narrow corridor led us deeper into the Daeva complex. The black stone was so familiar, I almost felt like we were under
the Seat. I was still pondering the location of the secret base, knowing now it had to be on one of three major planes
still remaining to the Node, when Raethnn stopped and turned toward a huge door, the top of it arching overhead. It was
the most extravagant door I'd seen down here, accustomed to the austerity they'd exposed me to so far. I followed the old
leader through without a word, wondering at the tingle of power as I stepped over the threshold, hearing Syd gasp beside
me while Sassafras let out a hiss of surprise.
The chamber was massive, the ceiling high above us cloaked in darkness, the floor as polished and perfect as that of my
throne room. I did my best not to think about the fact it wasn't my throne room any longer while Ahbi shifted inside me.
Interesting, she sent. There is a great deal of power here, but it's mostly dormant.
