A group of black-cloaked figures moved through a narrow secret passage beneath the ground. Their faces were hidden beneath their hoods, and their footsteps were kept as quiet as possible as they advanced deeper into the darkness.
They had spent a great deal of time searching for this place. The information about the hidden passage had only been obtained after putting one of the captured members of the Devine Family through so much torture that he finally revealed its location.
Now, the Black Thorns had come to investigate it.
The passage was old and poorly maintained. Cracks covered the stone walls, while a few old candles had been placed inside small holders. Their weak flames flickered whenever the group passed, making the shadows move across the walls.
The person leading the group suddenly raised his hand.
Everyone immediately stopped.
He looked down at the floor and carefully examined the tiles ahead. Nothing seemed unusual, but the place had already proven to be dangerous.
