Return to the Underland

Chapter 29

(Gregor)

Brea and I descend the stairs that lead to the Underland. We stay silent the whole way down. We take the path that led straight to the grand gates of Regalia. I looked behind me and saw Brea staring at the walls in awe. 

A while passed before I saw the large gates of Regalia, looming in the darkness. I walk ahead to the gates, they were open. Brea and I step through the grand gates.

"Brea, Welcome to Regalia,"

(Brea)

Gregor lifted a stone slab and there were, uneven stairs.

"After you," He says motionting toward the endless void. I walk forward and walk down a few stairs. Gregor pulls the slab back over the hole. It was pitch black, with the ocassional torch. Gregor said they had placed them there just recently. 

We walked in silence the whole way down. I started hearing running water, and a lot of it. Suddenly the stairs ended. 

"Dont walk forward, you'll fall into the Waterway. He pulls up his sleeve, in the faint light I can see a scar, it looks like suction marks, " You don't want to mess with them," He pulls down his sleeve, "Come on this way. It will lead us to Regalia," He says. I follow him down a tunnel. Again, the occasional torch lit the way. Gregor, ended up grabbing one to light the way. 

After awhile of walking, I was exhausted. I saw light at the end of the tunnel. Suddenly right there in front of us were grand gates, which were strangely open. Gregor and I walk through the gates

A cloaked figure sat around a fire, waiting for news of his enemy.

"Master, I have arrived with news," Another cloaked figure, walking towards his master says, in a raspy voice.

"Yes, tell me,"

"The Queen has left, there is no one there to protect the kingdom, except for the council and the old man. We have the council, wrapped around our finger, and the old man, is far too old to rule," The cloaked figure stood up abruptly.

"You idiot, there is the girl and those boys. Not to mention those other ones in the fount," the cloaked figured said snarling

"Yes, sorry...master. It seemed to have slipped my mind," They said bowing.

"Get the troops ready by morning, we leave for war tomorrow,"

"Yes sir," The cloaked figure sat back down, by the fire.
