Immediately, alarms blared loudly throughout the building. Guards rushed back and forth to deal with the situation, but the danger to Edward had not yet revealed itself.
From the depths of the lower floors, a large number of powerful and fearsome individuals rose in unison, ready to face whatever was attacking them.
Edward could hear the sound of boots pounding the floor, echoing from the depths of the building's caverns.
He smiled slightly and looked through the fortified door. There were two staircases, one leading up and the other down.
'One to the fourth floor up and the other to the first floor down.' Edward knew his target was on the lower floors, but he didn't choose the stairs leading down because he would run into the guards of the Red Moon Cave. Instead, he went up to the fourth floor.
As he climbed the stairs, he began to hear the clang of swords clashing and the agonized screams of the dead as they tried to fight his men.
