...d to the darkness, I moved swiftly in the moonlight through the trees. I was lucky that the dirt was damp enough to display footprints along with disturbed leaves and a few broken twigs. Overall, their trail was fairly easy to follow. I eventually reached a small hatch with signs of the trio heading nowhere but downwards. I couldn’t believe it. Was this a secret hideout? Perhaps they were following a treasure map! I was more excited than ever. I set down my torch on the dirt and lit it with the sparks that spewed from my flint and blade. I tucked the flint away into a pocket on my belt and I gripped the torch in my left hand while being cautious with the machete in my right. I quietly descended the stairs and walked under an arch that was inscribed with symbols that I did not recognize. I was glad that it was the only path available. I moved forward hoping that I’d spot them before they noticed my torch in the tunnel.
