"Aghh..." Everyone opened their eyes, Dimas and Alex woke all of them up in a few seconds.
"What happened." Anzhel opened his eyes and asked.
"We don't know, don't freak out you guys, we need to get out of this place." Alex looked at the bars that were hanging from the ceiling, it was a lot to take, first, they were stuffing their faces with food, and next, they appeared in the cells like this.
Alex didn't tell them what he felt and who he thought betrayed them, it would not be good for the psyche.
"How?" Dimas asked.
"Give me a hand." Ivan hit his feet when he fell, it was strained.
Alex helped him get up.
"This is a very old bar... did they throw in some kind of ancient artifact or what is this..." He gritted his teeth and looked down, just below the bars, you could see scrapings off the rust.
"How do we get out of here" Anzhel asked, he didn't have his cheerful attitude anymore, he was quite gloomy.
"Yell?" Dimas suggested.
"No, wait." Alex held the bars in his hand, he moved his hand on the rusted bars up and down.
"What is he doing?" Anzhel asked.
"Found it." Alex put his finger in one place, and the brown rust came off.
"This is the weak point of this iron, if we hit it hard enough, it's going to break." He said this.
"Waiiiiiit... what do you mean hit it hard enough, we aren't Neus users Alex, we can't bend iron," Anzhel said.
"Listen... this iron rod had an incredible amount of cracks inside, it's really weak now, but still strong so it will not be bent by a human hand, it can be broken off easily." Alex didn't have time to explain the rusting chemical effect to them, so we went back.
"Give me that chain." He asked for the chain they had on their hands.
Dimas frowned and gave him the chain.
"AAAGGHHGGHHGHGH!!!" Alex molded it to look like one plate of iron.
"(I have been trained in throwing javelin... i hope this works)" Alex sighed.
*BSHHHHHHHHGGHHGGHGH!!!*
*Crack*
The bar cracked and fell.
"HUHHHH???!!!" Everyone opened their mouth fully.
"Let's go." Alex smiled and waved the them, he took the broken piece of bar and got ready to fight what would come against them.

"Oh my olympus!!!" Miloslav was having a panic attack.
"OH MY!!!" He was about to yell but Homer put his hand over his mouth.
"Please calm down." He looked at the burning building and frowned, Homer knew there were at least 300 guards in the entire mountain scattered around, 150 of them would be in the castle, who could have been brave enough to invade such a tight defense force and come out unscathed.
"Lets!!! let's go inside!!!" Miloslav was worrying about his friends too much, he didn't know what would have happened to them, was this their doing? Were they alive? Were they captured? he had so many questions.
Homer looked up and saw moving guards all around the castle, they were putting out the fire.
"No, please wait here." He pulled Miloslav down and tasked him to be quiet, Homer went towards the guards slowly.
"HALT!!!" When guards noticed him, they pulled their spears and pointed toward Homer.
"Please wait a minute, it's me, Homer." He introduced himself.
"Oh, we apologize Here. Homer." Guards relaxed.
(A/N: Heres = Mister, Mr. in Greek.)
"What happened here?" Homer asked.
"The guests you have invited fought against our guards and tried to assassinate Doctor Machaon. One escaped." Guard notified him.
"Huh?" Homer was shocked, something like that happened? How was that possible?
"One... escaped?" He asked.
"Yes, one, the oldest one." Guard nodded and went around to continue his duty.
Homer nodded at him and looked back at Miloslav, Miloslav looked like he was about to piss his pants.
"This guy is the member of the people that tried to Assassinate here?" He scratched his head.
But in a few seconds, Miloslav's mouth curved up in a smile and he said.
"This is getting interesting." He went towards Miloslav.

"How big is this dungeon again?" Alex asked, they had been walking for a while, except for completely bare prison cells, they hadn't seen anything else.
"This is creepy." Anzhel was getting extremely chilly, he had been feeling someone was watching them all this time.
"This way." Alex looked around and saw the cracks in the ceiling.
"How do you know that?" Dimas asked.
"When cracks form in the stone, they are bound to go to the starting point where exit and they are built from," Alex explained.
Everyone nodded.
Anzhel looked around and saw there weren't any windows in the cells, there was bearly light coming out from the cracks in the walls.
They walked for a while in this complete darkness.
Nothing was happening, the cracks up in the ceiling were disappearing very quickly, this scene reminded Alex of the gas leaks he fixed in one of his departments, the gas filled the entire factory so much, that it made the air darken itself.
It was about to explode like a nuclear bomb.
"Wait... do you guys smell this?" He asked.
"No?" Everyone shook their heads.
"This is not fully air, something else is in the atmosphere." Alex sniffed the air, it had a smell of rotten eggs, a very subtle smell, but it was still here.
"Let's go, we might be close, the cracks are getting bigger and bigger." Alex pointed up and they noticed the pattern of these cracks.
The group walked another 10 minutes, Anzhel was getting creeped out now, he was visibly shaking.
Nobody else acted like this, they were acting normally like nothing was happening.
"G...G...G...G...G...uys... please..." Anzhel could not take it anymore.
"What's wrong?" Dimas looked back.
"I feel... scared... what is happening here." Anzhel looked around, he remembered feeling like this in the past... he just couldn't remember when, the discomfort he felt right now was turning into actual pain.
Alex looked around.
"Anzhel... give me your hand." He took Anzhel's hand and saw it was completely normal.
"Hm?" Anzhel immediately looked around and his eyes widened in realization...
"I know... why do i feel like this..." He muttered.
"Why?" Everyone asked.
"It's the... Neus... i feel Neus here... NEUS!!!" Anzhel jumped back.
"What?" Alex was completely shocked.
