Bang!
The heavy wooden doors of the dungeon prison cell shattered into pieces by a single, panicked kick from Leo.
"Caelum!" he roared, his voice echoing down the damp stone walls.
But there was no answer, and Leo's heart sank a beat. He grabbed a flickering fire torch from the wall and walked inside the cell.
"Malcom!" Leo shouted.
But again, all he got in response was absolute Silence.
He took a step forward, hoping the system was wrong. But he hadn't taken more than two steps, when he felt something wet below his feet.
He looked down and saw a puddle of red liquid under his feet. It was blood!
Leo frowned. As his gaze drifted along the cell, he saw five bodies lying on the straw-covered floor.
Leo recognized them instantly. They were the Dregs tasked with making the stay of Caelum and Aliana comfortable.
They weren't just dead. They were... husks.
