Kaius tapped her shoulder. He must've noticed she was spacing out again, "We need to go before they see us."
Allyria could spare no time for argument so she nodded in response, "Let's go."
The stairs were just beside the chest. Kaius went up first, slowly, trying to avoid the wood from creaking. He pushed the trapdoor open but it wouldn't move. He tried again for the second attempt, still, no use. "We're locked from the inside."
"Do you think you'll be able to burn it?" he asked.
"Yeah but so will I burn the whole cabin. We can't afford being seen."
"You could focus your magic on the door," he suggested.
"I don't even know how to control it. I can't risk it, Kaius."
Kaius nodded and climbed down from the stairs. "We need to find another way," he said, "We could use any firm steel to break the lock," his eyes went to the chest, pointing it; "There must be something there that we can use."
