Seance

Just as Yul said, he had arranged a time and date for me to meet those allied forces of the Bloodfang. It took him two weeks and for those past two weeks, I kept acting, as usual, to avoid garnering unwanted attention.

"They're waiting," Yul said as he gazed back up at me, while I stared at the narrow stairs leading to an underground meeting place just right inside the gambling place. 

My eyes narrowed, trying to see anything further than the lamp in Yul's hand could reach, but nothing. I shifted my gaze to him and nodded, following his lead. There would be no fun if I could guess how deep and far this dark path was.

"Had they always known about me?" I asked to break the deafening silence between us.
