Another five days passed in darkness.
During these five days, Balin resembled a miner working in a deep, black coal mine, tirelessly excavating the ice beneath him.
Each day, he managed to dig down to a depth of at least two hundred meters. Fortunately, the piercing cold wind on the surface kept the task manageable; otherwise, transporting the accumulated ice would have been an enormous undertaking.
As he advanced nearly a thousand meters deeper, the green light and shadow below became increasingly distinct. To his surprise, rather than being just a small spot or a few pinpricks of light, the illumination grew larger with depth, resembling a black hole shimmering with a faint green glow. Indeed, it looked very much like a black hole.
Although the ice layer overhead was still tens of meters thick, the rough outline of the black hole had begun to reveal itself, a direct opening within the rock layer.
