As they descended the staircase which led to the dungeons, they were hit by a nauseating stench and although they had been mentally prepared, it still wasn't enough to keep them from retching.
Words could not describe how extremely terrible the stench was. It was even more worse than the time Matthew and Henry had been there.
It took a lot of willpower for Viola and Nigel not to throw up all the food in their stomachs.
Viola and Nigel covered their nodes with their elbows and began to search the cells one by one.
"Hey, these people.....do you think they were all former prisoners?"
"No, they were most likely workers who took care of the castle or at least when they were still alive." Viola said, her gaze filled with pity.
"That's terrible...I can't believe it. What kind of raving mad lunatic would do such a thing?!" Nigel yelled indignantly. "All they wanted to do was to make an honest living. They had families, had lives, some were even fathers, brothers or even parents to some kids but look how they ended up....in this cold dungeon dead, without even a grave. Not only did the lich King kill them, he didn't even have the decency to release their bodies or even Bury them properly. "
" It's okay Nigel, the Lich King will pay!. We'll find a way to make sure he pays for every single ome of his bad deeds.....and when we're done, we'll come back and give every single one of these people a proper burial." Viola comforted him.
They continued searching every cell in the dungeon but Viola's sister was no where to be found and so they retreated back up the stairs.
"We've checked every single cell in the dungeon but there is still no sign of her." Viola sighed."Where could she be?"
"I don't know but we absolutely can not give up. Let's just keep on searching other places in the castle. " Nigel said .
"Sure..." Viola said, completely lost In thought. "Vivian....I hope you're okay. "
