Terrell had no choice but to walk to the station with Benjamin and Cain. Refusing to do so would pretty much confirm their suspicions that Terrell was in the Cult of Shadows, which would put Terrell in a very risky position. So to keep the lie going, Terrell acted as if he had no problems with going to the station, almost as if he was happy too. Almost because Terrell didn't seem to be happy most of the time, even if he was.
As the trio walked to the station, Terrell had to wonder why Benjamin wanted Terrell to give an account of what had happened. It was rare for somebody to ask Terrell to explain something, for obvious reasons. If Benjamin was so keen to prove that the Cult of Shadows was a real threat, then Terrell was the last person to chose to help. Not that Benjamin had a choice, Terrell realized. Cain, Terrell and himself were Benjamin's only witnesses- a fact which Terrell could use to his advantage later on.
When the station came into sight Terrell was filled with dread. This was the place were his allegiance could be uncovered, and where he could be sent to prison. But it was also the place where he could gather masses of information for the Cult of Shadows. Terrell gritted his teeth, determined to overcome this obstacle. "Well, then I suppose we're here and made it," Benjamin remarked quietly, not sure whether he was was talking to the other two or himself.

Only a few minutes after Terrell, Cain, and Benjamin had left the pillar, Madora had arrived. The sun was setting in the sky, creating a beautiful sunset full of vibrant oranges and pale purples. It also meant that there was nobody else hanging around the pillar, especially due to the nippy weather, to Madora's advantage. She approached the grand stone pillar, easily identifying the symbols she had helped to carve earlier. Absent-mindedly Madora started stroking the symbols. They were so elegant, and they represented the work of the Cult which meant so much to her.
Madora shook her head, snapping back to reality. She had come here for a reason, not just to admire the beauty of the scene. Hurriedly she whipped her smart phone from her handbag- the latest model of course- and starting taking photos of all the etchings. Madora took several photos each symbol, so that she wouldn't make mistakes with the pictures later on.
After checking her gallery had everything she needed, Madora settled her phone back into her bag. She took a few moments deciding which unmarked pillar was closest, then she set off again. The sun glowed on her back as she walked, almost like a hand showing her the way.
