The Spirit
After about two minutes, two figures came into Nula and Howard's view.
They were two Eternal Flame cultists cloaked in black, their faces hidden under hoods.
The two golden lines on their chests indicated they were merely ordinary cultists, the lowest rank within the Eternal Flame cult.
They hurried along without speaking to each other, heads down.
Howard was confused by the sight, but Nula quickly understood the situation.
It seemed the initial three sentries she had killed had been discovered, and these two were likely en route to report to Duduro.
But Duduro would never hear their report.
"Let's keep moving, and pick up the pace!"
Waiting for the two to pass, Nula whispered to Howard and continued forward.
Quickening their pace out of the corridor, Nula and Howard entered the temple.
The scene seemed unchanged from when Nula had left; it was still crowded with black-robed figures bustling about, heads bowed.
