The Dauntless

----

A few hours after…

Tanath and the other members of his stronghold looked around with an odd expression. There was a problem, the same issue that Apollo faced initially. The entrance to the ruin, as mentioned earlier, was nowhere to be found. 

Although Fuhrer blew open the entrance when they first arrived, he repaired it to its former state before venturing deeper. While he didn't fear any confrontation, it was best to make it seem like no one had visited this place to delay any unwanted confusion.

Until now, it worked perfectly.

"Vice-Commander Tanath, could that demon have played a trick on us?" One of the lower members asked. After venturing all this way to a remote area, playing a trick was the only assumption this demon could make.

Of course, Tanath thought differently. It wasn't practical for a demon of Xorgrah's stature to play such an absurd trick on them. Besides, there was another reason.
