The so-called Horn Abyss was a horn-shaped peak with a bottomless hollow at its summit. The hollow looked like an abyss, hence the name.
Abner and Xio had now flown to the summit.
"Abner, I can understand Edwina stealing wealth and books, but why did she abduct Her Majesty the Queen as well?" Xio asked after glancing into the abyss.
