Living Dead

All the dukes looked at each other. They were confused. 

Duke Crawford looked at the secret passage they had just found. The voice came from there but also from the room where the Emperor stayed to keep away his boredom.

"Do you think .." Duke Crawford was yet to finish his words when a loud scream came again.

"AHHH AAHHH …" The voice was getting louder. One could feel the pain the other person was in. 

The Dukes did not waste any time as they ran towards the source. Their eyes contained an unknown emotion of fear and anxiety. They did not want to keep waiting any longer. They moved at a fast speed towards the room. 

All of the three Dukes knew who the man was. It was the voice of the Emperor. The passage was closed as they moved following the voice. They wanted to know what was happening. Was it related to the weird feeling they were getting? Was it something to do with the elements?
