Elder Obsidian thought for a moment before he spoke, his words directly entering their ears. His mouth was closed, but the words were conveyed to the couple.
The couple was shocked, and with a fearful expression, their gazes turned towards a room next to theirs. Elder Obsidian glanced into the room to find a room full of toys and a sleeping area meant for a baby.
A flash of understanding passed through his eyes, and he once more spoke in their ears, " I will ensure your child's safety," he promised. The couple seemed invigorated, and with a gesture, they pointed to a hatch in the floor.
Elder Obsidian slowly walked over and opened the hatch. The dark basement came into view, and he jumped down without hesitation.
Inside the basement, a few flickering lights could be seen, and the chilling air was eerie for most people, yet Elder Obsidian did not even blink. He stood without moving, his eyes scanning the darkness.
'Clang!'
