Author's note: this chapter is from Seraphina's point of view

Aldus gave me the lantern to hold, and I followed him through the narrow dark hallway that had no other passages or doors that could lead in or out of it. None that I could see, at least. The path in front of us was flat, but I had a feeling that we are descending.
"How do people enter this place?", I asked. After a few seconds of not getting a response from Aldus, I rephrased my question: "Can anyone else open that passage in the wall of the church, or is that something only you can do?"
"To my knowledge, I am the only one.", Aldus responded and after a few seconds, he added: "However, some creatures are not limited by physical barriers in order to reach a certain destination."
"Like ghosts?"
Aldus chuckled at my question. "Do you believe in ghosts, Serina?"
I was not sure what is funny. "I saw a werewolf. I am an immortal. It is not impossible that ghosts exist."
