"Why did you stop?" the hooded man shouted while pushing his way through the crowd.
The vanguards moved aside and showed him the hole that was shrouded in complete darkness.
"Sir, they.....they went into the forbidden zone.." one of them pointed at the darkness that seemed to be undulating incessantly.
The hooded man faltered looking at the hole before forcing himself to move closer. He took out a stone that was embossed with three symbols. He transferred some Qi into it, making it light up. He used that light to inspect the hole's edges carefully before scoffing.
"Old superstitions. There is nothing here, go in now!" he said waving his hand at the vanguards, but not a single person made any moves.
The man's expression turned cold under the hood as he slightly raised his head, exposing the left side of his face which had Ra's curse mark on it.
"Are you disobeying Lord Ra's will?" he enunciated each word, speaking in a somber tone.
