" Where are we ?what is this ?" Amy asked frantically looking around and shining her torch around managing to catch Florence right in the eyes with .
In response she gave we a quick apologetic look as Florence tried to blink away the white light .
" It's an Aplan mortarium , sometimes called a maze of the dead "
River answered for her and she couldn't help but look quickly over at Estelle who's face softened when River said those last words ." Meaning ?"
Florence asked River hoping she would elaborate some more ." Well if you happen to be a creature made of living stone -" The Doctor answered for her as he turned back around and kicked the Gravity globe into the air .
