With that many creatures lurking inside the royal library, staying there was akin to suicide, so when the mysterious older man appeared with a way out, Damian and Hymot did not think and ran toward it.
It was their best shot to survive, and both of them took it with heart.
The encounter with that man happened with no words — those creatures would hear them. They followed him to the bookshelf that had a secret passage behind it, and the man closed it right afterward.
A narrow tunnel where only one person could go and the one in the front was the mysterious man.
It was muddy, with many bugs, and spiders, lots of spiders. Damian was not scared of these creatures, so he moved through the tunnel effortlessly.
After a while, the tunnel got wider, until they reached a door, locked, but the mysterious man took out a key from his pocket, opening it.
