—Within The Black Manor—
The assault by the unknown men had been going on for quite a while already. After the City Guards outside the Manor stormed the enemy and lost their lives, the Warlocks in their wisdom cautioned the ones within to remain inside while they went outside to deal with the fools that dared strike their Master's home.
They did not look to be succeeding.
"I have to let him know," A Man said in a hurried voice as he ran down a spiraling staircase that led down into a deep recess of the Black Manor.
The room was soundproofed to allow its inhabitants the utmost privacy but the sound of a rapt knock against the door could still make it through.
The man waited a few seconds after knocking. He knew he would not be able to hear even if the one inside called to let him in or ordered him to stay outside but there was one surefire way of knowing he had been granted entry.
