[Child of the 7th Age]

Andreth slipped out from the darkened room, which seemed to look much like a dining chamber. She came out searching for Holly, hoping to describe what she'd seen. But Holly and Bird and the others were nowhere in sight. She floated along the corridor looking down from above, and finally saw her book sitting on a table near the door. She hastily went down to retrieve it and slid it under her sash again.

There were loud shrieks coming from the front of the castle, so she thought she'd better have a look. Making her way back towards the main gate, she was startled to see Whinney limping along, being led by Aislan and Alearindu. For the first time that night, she cursed her lack of a proper body as she could not even help or comfort her horse. She decided to stay just behind the group as she saw them make their way into the Stately Stables.
