"Simon, this just came in from Echucan. The Sovereign Underworld hit the tomb with bombers and grenades, and Maren and the others haven't made it out," Westley repeated, his voice thick, eyes red with worry.

"I don't know for sure. They're saying they're digging as fast as they can, hoping to pull Maren and the others out," Westley said, his voice shaky.
