Florence gave a light grumble as she managed to catch up with the group  . Following them down the rope ladder she entered a large underground area which was consumed with darkness . She mumbled a quick " Thankyou " as Amy reached her hand out to steady Her .

Florence could practically feel the dampness of the place seeping into her clothes and skin which made her gave a slight shiver.  next to her Estelle swiftly pulled out a torch out of her pocket and clicking it on she handed it over to Florence .

" Do we have a gravity globe ?" The doctor asked curiously looking towards the clerics .

" Grav globe " Father Octavian ordered to one of the clerics .

" 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 .

Everyone around him looked up in awe as the globe illuminated the space in front of them , revealing the vast array of monuments and statues which once resembled an ancient civilisation .

" The perfect hiding space " The doctor concluded also grinning at the sight .

" I guess this is a bit trickier "

" A bit yeah " The doctor and Florence answered back  simultaneously .In response the Doctor gave Florence a sheepish smile before walking away .

" A stone Angel on the loose among stone statues . A lot harder than i'd prayed for "

" Better start praying Father " Estelle said lowly under her breath which earned her a light swat from Florence .

" A needle in the hay stack " River remarked shining the torch in the area the hung gravity globe .

" A needle that looks like hay. A hay - like needle Of death . A hay like needle of death in a haystack of statues " The doctor looked back around and was met with Florence raising her eyebrows a him .

" No , yours was fine " he ended dismissing River .

" That saying never worked though , the solution ? - just burn the hay " Florence quipped up as Estelle kept near by . Little did she know the doctor was grinning at her antics already .
