Elven Ruins

At the break of dawn, Mikael was standing in front of a well that was closed with a huge boulder. There was no one around, no guards, no passerbys, nothing.

"You sure this is the place?" Mikael asked Miquella in his head. "It's… closed…"

"Then push the boulder away." Miquella stated. "Find a sewer wall within the elven ruins, it should lead you to the sewers that connect to the prison."

Mikael hummed. He walked towards the boulder, and pushed it with his bare hand. Even with only one hand, he was able to at least move the boulder slowly. The boulder was pushed out of the hole, and dropped down to the pavement, cracking it.

Mikael cleaned his hand, tapping it to his trousers, and looked down.

"Water?" He exclaimed. "You want me to swim?"

"There must be an entrance to the ruins deep underwater," said Miquella. "Try to dive underneath."

"Ugh… the water looks nasty." Mikael groaned as he stepped on the railing of the well. "Okay… here we go…"

Mikael then jumped to the water, diving legs first. His hearing dampened as he entered the water, and he could barely see in the murky water.

Mikael dived down to the bed of the body of water, and he saw an opening. He dived towards it, and there was another surface above him. He swam to the pocket of air, and breathed in.

He looked around, and saw an entrance to an elven ruin. Mikael swam towards it, and dried himself down.

"Fuck…" he sighed, sitting on the ground. Mikael saw a skeleton in front of him, sitting at the same position as him.

"Tomb raider huh…" Mikael murmured.

He didn't waste any time sitting around at the place, and slowly entered the ruin. He looked around, it was definitely elven, as he didn't recognize the architecture at all.

"Alright… where do I go now…" Mikael murmured to himself.

Mikael scoured the place, trying to find an opening that could lead to the sewer.

But as soon as he moved to another part of the ruin, he could hear a hiss from it.

"Shit…" he cursed.

He saw a Katakan, shrieking mildly towards him in the middle of the room. Mikael unsheathed his sword, and prepared for a fight.

"Why the hell is there a bloody vampire in the middle of an elven ruin…" Mikael murmured in annoyance.

The Katakan then suddenly rushed towards Mikael, its body turning invisible. Mikael just raised his sword, and swung it horizontally to his front.

He could hear a screech, and thud sound, he looked below, and saw a hand, bleeding profusely. He then saw the Katakan appear in front of him, grabbing its missing hand that was healing rapidly.

Mikael clicked his tongue, and rushed towards the vampire. He slashed the Katakan in the neck, and the head easily dropped down to the ground.

The Vampire was still screeching, even though the head was on the ground, Mikael just used his feet to crush the head, ending the sound.

"No need to drink a potion…." he murmured, continuing to walk.

At the end of the ruin, he could see a brick wall, along with a small cage opening below it. This must be it, he thought, the wall looked bridle as well.

Mikael then took a stance, and kicked the wall, and he watched it crumble to the ground.

He could now see the sewers in front of him, clear of guards.

Mikael entered the sewer, and saw that it was abnormally well kept.

"Must be close," he said to himself.

Mikael could see that a lot of the pathways were blocked by metal bars, only water could pass, which he took note of.

He then turned to the nearest opening, and saw that there was an unusual hole on the wall. It was not really a wall, it was an opening to a room or some kind. He heard breathing from inside the opening, to which he frowned.

Mikael jumped to the opening slowly, carefully grabbing the edge of the opening, and he pulled himself to it. The guards were all sleeping when he was in the room, sitting on the edge of the room. It was a torture room, as there were many torture devices laying around the place.

Mikael frowned at the sight, the device looked dirty, a dangerous kind of device.

Mikael then unsheathed his sword once more, and slowly stabbed the guard's neck, and covered his mouth, careful to not make a noise.

But then, the door to the room suddenly opened. "Hey, you want some Ale?"

A guard suddenly spoke, but then the guard saw that Mikael had killed the guard inside the room. The guard panicked, and brandished his sword.

"Alarm!" he shouted upstairs. "Somebody's here!"

Mikael clicked his tongue and quickly killed the man at the door, silencing him.

But it was too late, guards had already starting to flood from upstairs, and Mikael was quickly surrounded by witch hunters in the torture room.
