She could hear the awakening; the slick sound of wet things moving over one another, the low moan deeper than any sound she'd heard before. Still, she had to walk slowly, or lose her way.
The Diament Tożsamość was cooperating for now, yet she knew that she had only moments to go. Suddenly, sunlight shone against her closed eyelids. Had she miscounted her steps? She opened them.

"Boss'll like this one, N.S.," said one of the earth pony support crew, as he bent to pick up the gem.
