บท 138: A Note of Sorrow

As soon as we stepped into the narrow hall that led into the darkness, I shivered. I could feel the demonic magic in this place – it had permeated into the very foundation of this castle. Seeing Asher's cold, hard expression, I could see I wasn't the only one who could sense it.

"Are you two ok?" Lucius asked after a short moment. He waved his hands in front of our faces. "Snap out of it – one of you really needs to create some light. It's really dark up ahead."

I blinked a couple of times and forced myself to focus on our current situation. I raised my hand to create a flame, but then froze mid action. "Dark?" I asked as I looked up ahead. I could see a set of stairs leading down. A faint light was visible from here.

Asher glanced at me. "Do you see something, Kai?" 

"Wait," I pointed towards the stairs. "Neither of you don't see that?" I asked, shocked.
