slid himself forward and dropped down into the hole.
    " We better not get caught or we'll both be thrown out quicker than you can get beat up by Blake." Chloe snickered a little. "From the looks of you it seems he's already done that again." She said as she pointed to his head.
    " Never mind that. Let's get moving already."
    With Chloe leading the way they began crawling through the air shaft. Not after too long, Chloe stopped. "We have to go down here now." She said.
    They turned to the right and the shaft began to head downward at an angle. It was fairly steep but not unmanageable. The two of them followed the passage down about a hundred feet or so.
    Davin tapped Chloe on the foot. "Are you sure you know where we're going?" He asked.
    " Of course I do silly. I told you I looked at the map. Now be quiet and come on." she responded in a slightly irritated voice.
    They went a little ways further and came to another fork. "We have to go left here. Then it's about a hundred yards or so till we get to the egg chamber. There are vents there too so I am going to have to put out the light now."
    " You've been in here before haven't you?" Davin hissed.
    " Of course not. But the plans on the map were very specific." She said with a smirk.
    Chloe blew out the lamp and started heading down the shaft again. The small ventilation shaft had leveled back out again, which made navigating it in the complete dark that much easier. The further down they got the warmer it became. It felt like they were moving closer and closer to a burning furnace. The air began to get sticky and humid the further they got. Just as Chloe had said they came to a vent on the side of the shaft. Chloe stopped and turned around to Davin and reached out and touched her finger to his lips. They both peeked out the vent to see a large doorway about twenty feet further the direction they had been heading. There were four minotaur guards standing side by side in front of the door.
    Chloe turned and began crawling forward again. She slowed down as they came to another vent and stopped. She looked out and then moved forward very slowly. Davin followed her and was moving cautiously, trying not to make the slightest sound. In the distance they could see yet another vent. This one had a red glow coming through it. The heat was still rising in the small shaft and the surface had become sticky and damp from the moisture that was in the air.
    They had finally arrived. The vent with the red glow shining through looked directly out into the large egg chamber. The chamber was enormous with rows upon rows of eggs. The eggs themselves were individually sitting on stands that sat over small canals filled with water. Along the walls were several large coal furnaces heating the room. The furnaces along with the water in the canals generated a steam room effect. The heat kept the eggs alive, while the moist air kept the eggs from fully hardening which would lead to the eventual hatching of the offspring.
    Davin and Chloe looked out the small vent in awe. This was a sight that was normally only seen by a bonder that was receiving an egg. Davin would get to enter the room on his thirteenth birthday since they already knew he was bonded. Chloe would also be able to enter in the event she became bonded like her older brother.
    The two kids sat in the shaft peering out the vent whispering back and forth to one another about which egg they thought would become their own. This went on for about ten minutes or so until they heard a startling noise. It sounded like a stone was being pushed along the floor within the chamber. They both immediately stopped talking and sat silent and still. Across the room they saw one of the large stone bricks in the wall slowly sliding out, away from it's place in the wall. After it was fully out, they saw two hands slip along side of it through the cracks and push it to one side, revealing a small passageway.
    From the now dark hole in the wall, two bodies slowly
