From the Journal of Lorraine Ellis
November 29, 1923
Father always used to say that adventures were around every corner in his line of work.
This line of work, it seems, is also mine.
To whoever reads this, I am sorry. I am not going to detail what the first page leads to or what we will leave behind.
But be wary of darkness, of water, of stone, of iron.
Be wary of all you could lose in a single moment and do not let it slip through the cracks.
Not until you have reached the sunlight above and the stone floors glitter in swirls of color.
Then you will meet the sky.
