With is keen elf eyes Anuion saw the swinging rope above his head.

"Jack, it seems there is another way out of here!" Jack looked up and saw the rope. "We can climb this bed and make it up there!" The elf began to cilmb up without thinking about what could be up there. Jack cursed silently thinking they could be being led into a trap.

"Is this such a great idea?!" He whispered up to Anuion who simply turned and nodded. Jack growled in anger, looked either side of him and made for the rope.

It was pitch black but he could hear the elf pulling himself upwards. It was longer than he thought it would be. Eventually he heard Anuion whisper,

"It ends here." With a silent jump he landed on a new floor. Jack followed, not so silently though. The new room was dark, so dark it was impossible to know how big or small it was. After fumbling around for a few moments Jack found a torch and lit it. Through swinging it around the two companions could see that they were in an armourary, and a large one at that.

"Enough to arm all those who slept downstairs," Jack said. Swords, shields bows were stock pilled. Anuion took a closer look at them.

"They are elf-like!" He exclaimed, "but different, I have never seen anything like this before. Jack, do you think..." He was cut short when the sliding of metal on metal could be heard from behind them. Jack spun around and but ten feet away stood a figure, violet eyes burning bright. In each of his or hers arms was a curved dagger. Yet the pair were not attacked, the creature turned and ran towards the darkness.

"Quick Anuion!" Shouted Jack. Apprihensively the elf notched an arrow and fired it. The figure dodged it easily and slipped into the darkness. All that could be heard was Jack and Anuion breathing deeply. Then something happened- something terrible. The torch burnt out.
