Moving quietly among the various bushes and trees, nine figures, which belonged to the hired team of Augustus; the second child of the house of Holon, that had been kicked out by his sister, stopped in front of a black metallic door on the outside wall.

The nine watched as the door lit up with a brown radiance, though it wasn't that bright, then immediately after, the sound of locks opening resounded as the door opened before them.
