"Looks like we have company. Who else knows about this place?"
William glanced at the destroyed root door before his eyes landed on Ebony.
Ebony, still dazed, met William's gaze weakly. He muttered to himself, "Only you and Floral, who claims to have knowledge of this place from long ago. No one else should know…"
Floral interjected, "He doesn't exactly do very clean jobs. It's possible others have discovered it as well."
William nodded slightly.
No matter how similar Ebony's thoughts were to the living, he was undoubtedly an undead. Even though he may mimic the living—so well that William failed to see any problems—he lacked their quick wit.
"I'll go in first. In the event of danger, cover everyone's tracks and make sure Nizemar and Elise stay safe."
William turned around and instructed Floral. Without another word, William disappeared in a flash of lightning from the door.
