Thud! Thud! Alcott stopped before the city center stairs leading up to the lord's den.
Glowing mushrooms lit the stone stairs, making the engraving on them clear to everyone. [Ancient seas, rumbling of the deep.] In the first step.
[Raging waves, unseen by the crow.] In the tenth step.
[Sailing across the unknown, he conquered the lands.] In the twentieth step.
[God blessed the lord and the maiden, so they never sink.] On the thirtieth step.
[Here lies the ancient lord of the sea and his valiant crow.] In the fortieth step.
Alcott stood before the massive door, pushing it open with both hands. The inside resembled a run-down church, with a single man standing before a stone pillar with a tomb beneath it.
"Alcott Demorian, how rare it is to see your face around here." The man said with a smile, looking back at Alcott as the candle's fire danced.
"Rare? I guess it's been a while since I last visited, corrupt priest." Alcott walked forward with a smile. And the priest faced him.
