Conor put the sprites to sleep. His examination of the guarded blank wall revealed nothing, but clever Aiden, joining him, saw the wall for the illusion that it was, and passed through.

Conor and Aiden descended the well; about 50 feet down they encountered a vine that blocked the well like a grate, and a red glint.
