Silence was my strength. I hid behind the wall as Nila had ordered. I wasn't sure what was going on, but I had a feeling that may it be the last time I see Cordell or Nila. I waited in the dark passageway for what seemed like hours, when I was sure everyone had gone. I had heard a lot more footsteps than expected.

When I entered the dimly let room Nila had led me to, I noticed a small pool of blood on the floor. There was a blood trail leading from it to the dark tunnels ahead. They don't have a chance. I thought sadly to myself. I couldn't let those thoughts cloud my mind, I had a job to do.

I quickly looked over the paper Nila handed me. Ah, finally, someone who speaks my language. Some of the words were off, but I understood most of what she wanted me to do. The only thing I couldn't make out was the name of the man I was to meet.

Her map led me to a small blacksmith shop on the outskirts of town. The blacksmith seemed to have been expecting me, as I hurried past, he slipped a small dagger into my hand. "You'll be wanting this." he said almost inaudibly.

It was starting to get dark. I had to get to my contact before it got dark, otherwise I could be attacked and would have no backup. After a few minutes I arrived to the meeting place. It was a dark area by the outer wall of the city. Alright, where are you? I thought to myself.

Suddenly, the ground beneath my feet collapsed and I fell into another dark tunnel. "I've been expecting you. Did you have any trouble finding me?" A voice came from the darkness.
