[Boss, you need to come down here. There is a ward that doesn't feel like Dragons, and I can't get through it.] Su mentally linked Cain early the next morning.
[I'm on my way. Tell me about where you found it.] Cain requested as he flew through the tunnels in his smaller Ancient form, following the same path that Su and Kone had taken to search the lower levels.
It led him to a large lava lake, where Cain noticed that there were some injured Lava Cats. That didn't seem right, they didn't fight among themselves that seriously, and there weren't any predators in the tunnels that would try to kill them.
Su would have mentioned it if they had attacked her, so something abnormal had happened here.
Cain slowed his approach and took a deep breath, trying to sense anything out of the normal.
Human blood. He could smell humans in the room, and not all of the blood belonged to the cats.
