Hermesin lowered his sword, still keeping it at ready. He quietly walked over to the secret entrance to the secret path. He shifted a huge, heavy rock with ease and climbed out. He ended up on a ledge: the ledge was made up of a row of rocks sticking out of the cave wall. The row was wide enough for him to crawl through without being noticed.

He carefully made his way down the rocky path, looking around him as to catch the source of the sound. He then stopped, hearing it again. He looked over the ledge and saw a young female human walking through the passage.

Hermesin had seen her around before, she was a servant of one of the more powerful wights. He didn't know many of the creatures living in the Paths though, as he avoided most of them because they were dangerous and not meant for dealing with.

Unfortunately, as Hermesin looked over the rocky ledge, his toe slid and hit the wall. The impact didn't hurt him much, but a bit of the wall chipped off and fell noisily to the ground.

The human instantly reacted, reaching for her whip and looking in all directions. Hermesin avoided being seen by leaning backwards against the wall. The human, making sure that no one was there, continued on her way. Hermesin also quietly continued following her down the ledge.

Soon enough, he came to a staircase-like path, ending the ledge he was crawling on. The stairs veered off-course a bit, which was good in Hermesin's case. He couldn't get down to the ground without making a huge racket unless he did it unseen.

He quietly climbed down the rocky staircase, and continued following the Human. Unfortunately, his toe hit yet another rock-but this time he didn't go unnoticed. The rock bounced away against the wall, and finally landed by the human's feet. She turned slowly, her whip at the ready. Seeing Hermesin, she calmed a bit. She told him of the counsil that was being held by Gorthroth.

"Interesting." Hermesin replied.
"I will be there."
