Ghost King's Crevice [4]

The second group was far less ominous.

They were in the light both metaphorically and physically, sitting near the middle of the cave and only around ten feet away from Damien and the rest.

They were also a group of two men and three women, however, the main group was only two men and two women, with the last being their guide.

They chatted and laughed together more closely than most other groups, and the one who clearly led them was a man with bright blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a crown-like head garment made of silver and sapphire colors. 

He glanced not at the girls or Damien, but at Bertram with interest.

His eyes glimmered with interest, causing his party members to gain interest as well.

"Virgil, did you find something good again?" One of the women asked.

The man, Virgil, smiled in response.

"You could say so…"

"Sheesh, you always have to act mysterious," the other man said with a snort.
