Thoren sighed in frustration as he and Ashan climbed the last steps to the top floor of the Fallen Houses. During their search of the ground floor all they had found was a library, a magic room, a garage, an office with a machine Ashan suspected was intended for making identification cards, an auditorium, several studios and – the only ones that were useful, in his opinion – a gymnasium, a dining room and an infirmary. And many offices that held nothing of importance. There was only one thing all these places had in common and it was giving him the creeps. They all looked like they had been used just the day before and had been left waiting for someone to go back. The Houses sure didn't look like a place that had been under siege for a whole year, but maybe that story too was a lie, like the one that said the souls of the Fallen still roamed the Houses.
