By nightfall, a man dressed in black with a hat over his head was carrying a lantern as he journeyed on foot through the Black Forest, and got to a rocky Mountain.
He then made his way to the entrance of a cave. Right before the entrance of the cave, there were a few quartz stones that were on the floor, placed side by side, serving as a form of barrier and protection to whatever was in the cave.
The man entered the cave, and with the aid of his lantern he made his way to the stairway which led him down to a temple.
"Alethea! Alethea?" The man called out, as he approached the temple, and then from nowhere, a dagger suddenly floated towards him, and stopped only a few inches away from his neck.
"Why are late, Sir Cedric?" Alethea asked, as she approached the man from behind. "What have you been up to?"
