Using a vine he cut with the same dagger, he tied the cloak around Vane's head, hiding his appearance.
"Good job, er... Kael, right?" Alistair nodded. "Good. I'm Aldric, by the way." He shook Alistair's hand, then patted his shoulder. "Alright, let's head inside."
Asarmose looked confused. "Aren't we already inside?" he asked."No, this is just the entrance," Aldric stated before moving towards a large boulder hidden in the dark. He began pushing it sideways with all his might. "Could you lend me a hand?" he grunted. Alistair moved to his side, and together they pushed the boulder, revealing a passage with light pouring from it.
