Herbert, Dzel
[[@Jdh97]]


Dzel tilted her head to one side, then the other, as she considered each of Herbert’s words. 

“It only seems fast to you, Herbert… Your petty sins, the dread that haunts you, the fear that there is no place for you in this world….” She put a hand on his shoulder, touching his grey hair to comfort him. “... It is merely the ghost of an outdated morality, a way of thinking, that if you could finally put to bed you would realize… What you could do… What we could accomplish…” Dzel seemed about to say more, when, the library walls flashed with pink runes… A warning...

Dzel looked around for a moment, her eyes widening ever so slightly. Then she turned back to Herbert. The pink light reflected strangely in her bright green eyes

“... First we need to get out of here. That is the alarm. It means there has been a breach in the hull of this submarine.” She stood up and held out her small and to Herbert. 

“Come with me, quickly. I will take you to the rafts.”
