Part II

An abandoned mine is found in an instant with a simple flashlight. With the beam on the old tracks, Hong and his new recruits walked down into the mine that hasn't had the echo of footsteps within it for ages. The tunnels were as the arteries of the earth, blackened by the abuse of years. They went on and on into the black that looked like it had no end or possibility of sunlight. They were tracked to nowhere that lead only to the cold. 

Hong's men couldn't utter a word, or retreat despite the fear that was clawing at their chest. 

They reached out their hands to the walls that blinkered, that told them of no other option but to walk. Then with a few steps forward, and they finally felt the golden rays warm their hair again. 

"Can't believe we made it," one of them exclaimed in relief. He looked up to Fu Hong and they completely wiped away the smile on his face. 

"Do you mean I don't know where I was leading you to?"
