The horse galloped down the path, and Bel pulled suddenly, seeing something ahead. She brought the horse to such an abrupt halt that Brian staggered to keep her from falling off. She adjusted on the saddle and gently rubbed his coat to thank him. The horse neighed in response, and she took her eyes off him to look around.
Was it because she was in a carriage that she didn't notice this while coming in? There was a huge ditch in front of her, spanning from one end to another, separating Darkcrypt from the rest of the underground space. In the middle of the ditch was a bridge.
The other side stretched out for only a few meters before scattering into different tunnels. Sol only reached the entrance of the tunnels and since that was where the light stopped, she could see nothing else. The space after the ditch was nothing but earth and stones; however, Bel's eyes caught flowers littered across several sections.
