They reached the very end of the main road.
A large stone church sat at the edge of the woods.
The wooden doors were smashed open, hanging uselessly off their hinges.
A terrible smell drifted out from the dark interior.
It smelled like rotten meat mixed with stale blood.
'I really hate churches in this world,' Kai thought, gripping his dagger tight.
'They always hide the worst monsters.'
They stepped quietly into the ruined chapel as wooden pews were smashed into tiny pieces.
Black blood stained the holy altar at the front of the room.
A set of winding stone stairs led down into a dark crypt right below the main floor.
"Ahh! YES!"
Moans echoed up from the stairs.
These were not the hungry moans of regular thralls looking for a meal.
They sounded highly disturbing.
Kai pointed down the steps and nodded to his partner.
Vienna readied her weapon, and they descended together.
