Chapter Fifty-One

"So, care to explain?"

He takes a torch made of wood with a shining stone at the tip, illumination the dark corridor as we walk one at a time, his back turned towards me.

Before he could explain anything, however, the place shock again, making the opening we came in close and locking us inside.

"This is a safe passage I discovered without their knowledge, preparing for the possibility of needing a way in without their permission. That rune back there was made before my time, when the castle was built I supposed, when the runes knowledge wasn't so far and scarce as it is now. The only thing I did was reactivated it, being the only one able to even recognize it in here."

"If it was that used in the past how it ended up as a rarity?"

He gives me a side look over his shoulder, his golden eyes framed by the darkness beyond.
