"We can take you with us" Elide tried again.
Kaltain Rompier hesitated for a second, then nodded. "Fine," she said, "Follow me."
She led them through the hall, then abruptly turned right through the servants' passages. Eventually, they reached the end of the tunnel, and were greeted with sunlight shining through the doorway. "Go ahead," said Kaltain, "I will destroy this place, then come back to you."
Manon nodded, picked up Elide, and ran away from Morath, towards the forest.
Behind them, Kaltain lifted her hand, then brought it down, releasing a wave up shadowfire, obliterating the breeding rooms and dungeons, including the creatures within. When all that remained were ashes, she hurried away to where Manon and Elide had run.
Meanwhile, Manon had run as fast as her legs could take her away from Morath. She turned around and found that the forbidding towers of Morath had disappeared, thanks to Lady Kaltain. Manon paused, and put Elide down. She unlocked Elide's chain, and gave her a salve for the pain. A few minutes later, Kaltain caught up to them, and they made their way through the Oakwald forest.
After walking a mile, Manon said, "I must go back to what is left of Morath. My Thirteen need me." She left, but gave them some gold and clothing. Kaltain and Elide continued hiking, heading North, to Terrasen.
