THAT WAS A TOTAL HIDDEN DOOR OUT THERE AND IT really amused me. A room inside a mansion which is inside THE MANSION. Among the rest of the room, this hidden room have lots of armours and gears on the first stall, the next stall for the books, the third stall is for bottled wines? Those are antidotes and you know, magic drinks. said Zach in my thoughts. The fourth stall has a glass drawer and in it are just comon things. There's a dress, a shirt, a pair of earings, shoes, sandals, necklaces and any other acessories. Among the stalls, the fourth one is the lamest.Actually the fourth stall is the second most important stall in this room.

I dont think so. It's too normal that the rest.

I heard him chuckle. Those things belongs to humans. Sort of a gift to treasure. We take great hold on those. Later you'll know why.

I nod. And continued following him. I was looking forward for the last stall but Zach turned right away from the fifth stall.

"Hey wait! Aren't you going to show me what fifth stall looks like?"

He raised an eyebrow. "You're new here and you are not suppose to see what the fifth stall protects." He continued walking ignoring me.

Instead of arguing, my body considers to just follow him quietly. Soon, I'll see the last stall Newcomers are out of bound.

He walked me through the set of Carriers roaming around the corner. They count twenty, or should I say they count many as twenty.

All eyes were on me and Zach when we stopped by infront of them.

"Kind, I brought to you the Newcomer. His name is Tam." He took a step closer to the kind and smiled at me. "We should start compromising the rules with him as soon as possible."

A man full of aged wrinkles and white hair steps forward and reach out his hand. "I'm please to meet you, Tam." I handed mine and he removes his hand on mine and stand still. "I'm Marvin Reley. I'm one of the caretaker of the haven. I know everything hidden here and every open secret it conceals. If you need me, I am just one call ahead." then he smiled at me.

I nod as a sign of gratitude. Another man steps forward and salutes me? Never thought of having someone that I amazed.

"Bogart Bliss. I'm responsible of protecting the first stall. Making sure it is handled with such responsibility." He smiled.

"Wait. I didn't expect that you'll waste your time visiting the haven, Nathaniel. There's much appearance but this."said Zach looking at the guy who's back is leaning on the corinthian.

The guy was glowing. Well, all of us glows but he's brighter. He looks superior than the rest of the kind in this room.

"So unwelcome of you, Zach. I didn't even come to see you" Nathaniel said. Everyone holds their breath upon hearing him talk. He glanced at me and it made me swalllow air. "I came to see them." Nathaniel walks pass through them and stopped right infront of me. He extends his hands saying, "It's nice finally meeting you,Tam." He gave me a faint smile.

I reached for his hand and smile. "I heard lot things about you,Nathaniel. Zach told me everything."

He fixed his hands in his side pockets and heaved a sigh. "You thought you knew everything but you dont." He turned his back a me and leaves. Everyone's been silent until he shut the door, leaving.
