We pulled open the trap door and peered inside, finding a ladder that descended to the darkness down below.
I looked around at my Guardians, giving them a nod to make sure they were prepared before I moved to prepare to descend down the ladder.
My Guardians pulled out flashlights that they attached to their hips, illuminating parts of the darkness and allowing us to see in the darkness.
Dan descended before me, his shield strapped to his back as he swung himself onto the ladder to start his descent.
I followed after him, Maylene still opting to stay on my shoulders even at this point.
The good thing was that I didn't really need to climb the ladder itself since I could just float myself down the shaft instead, so I didn't need to worry about her hitting herself on the rungs of the ladder.
The ladder stopped at the end of what looked like an underground tunnel system like those you might find in military bunkers, the path forward bathed in darkness.
