~~Chapter 9: The Founding Father~~
It took one more day before they have arrived at the mountains that have separated the inner Empire from its affiliaties and holdings in the West. Once at the base of the mountains, they had to rely on Fezz, who in turn had to rely on the bits of knowledge that Duke Sepin whispered to him in a hurry.
It took hours to find the correct path, the correct cave, but finally they have arrived at a cave that was unmistakably the very tomb of Troy Lionheart, the Vanquisher of the Magi and the First Emperor.
The tunnel was tall and wide, columns carved from the stone of its walls, and dusty tiles of green marble paved the way inside. The height of the ceiling even allowed Miguel, Ciera and others to remain mounted and still have few feet between them and the rough rock above.
The group was led by Charles, who remained solemn, and by one more individual, who was unmistakably super-excited for some reason!
"Mister Fezz, are you sure we're going the right way? I do not wish to dispute what Duke Sepin might've told you, but we have been walking through this dark cave for a while now..."Meanwhile, in the back.
"I like the ambient heat of this place..." "Heat? What are you talking about?" "You might not be feeling it through your heavy... shoes, but I can feel it. There is lava coursing under this tunnel. Don't worry, we are safe from it. It is pleasant feeling, though." "...okay. Whatever, I guess?"Suddenly, all chatter had to be silenced by a distant sound of thunder, some yelling, and then some loud talking. From here, the mercenaries couldn't tell who what and where.
"Ancient traps? Gravediggers? Something worse? We should tread with caution!"For some reason, Candy felt a slight bout of nausea for a brief moment.
