The tower proved to be a dead end. After hours of searching - and one incident where Logan had activated a windup toy that apparently enjoyed giving fellatio before it got smashed to bits - they finally admitted defeat.
There were just too many objects and no idea of how to activate most of them. Nothing with a sign or instructions.
They finished their search on the bottom level. The night-mares were stabled right outside the hole in the wall, meaning they could leave easily at any time.
But Erela didn't want to depart. She wasn't ready to admit defeat. The answer lay around her somewhere. If only she could spot it.
The storage room appeared filthy and not often used, the many trunks layered in grime. The shelves sat mostly empty unless rodent droppings and clumps of dust counted. She still checked them over for the third time.
Titus took a seat on a trunk and said, "We're never going to find it. We're wasting our time."
