The group quietly made their way through the mine, using Zara's Shadow Laws to conceal themselves within the darkness.

Eventually, the tunnel opened up onto a large natural cavern.

Drip!

The tunnel exited about halfway up the cavern's wall. The bloody stream flowing through its ground dripped onto the cavern floor, taking its role as the only sound within the eeriness of the atmosphere.

But the dripping blood wasn't alone on that ground. It fell into what looked like a lake of blood, gathered for unknown purposes.

The three young geniuses and Zara nodded. Since Damien could teleport if the situation got out of hand, he was the best scout among them. And with Zara's concealment abilities, they would have a far easier time moving through the cavern.
