People were nervous that at next dusk something might come through the earth. What could they do to prevent it? They had no choice but to obey their mistress, but the secret would be discovered if something did emerge. More people might come, some with authority, who would try to take over. What would they do without the mistress who had looked after them all this time? Was there a way to keep her safe below ground? Would she still protect them? Was there a way that they could join her after nurturing her after all this time? Perhaps there was a way to be rid of any visitors that came here. Maybe the mistress could take away all their fears and all they would need to do is just keep serving her. Perhaps they could just keep digging and building and create their own world tucked away from everything else.
