Below the trap door.

Aaron's POV: 

When I was with Lilin, she would constantly take me to places that were scary yet adventurous. I thought that no one could match her vibes—but I was totally wrong.

The place where Lyra is leading me now seems scarier like hell. First, she took us to the Ash forest that was on the outskirts of our land. I seldom arrive here as it is said that dangerous entities lurk here. 

I tried to keep my mind blank and quietly followed the footsteps of Lyra; she should not know that I am anxious. My boys quietly followed me without doing anything crazy. Perhaps they are scared of this forest too—just like I occurred.

The only thing that was giving me a little courage to follow Lyra was that it was now daytime—in the brightness, evil entities might not lurk here.
