The air in the entry cave was thick with dust and dread. D3rlord3, battered and bleeding from his escape through tons of rock, slumped against the cold stone. His mind reeled from the horrors witnessed in the deep, yet duty remained. With trembling hands, he took a book and used his own fresh blood as ink.

Beside the text, a string of numbers deciphered to 'Rvn you, it's here.' He vanished into the shadows, leaving only the blood-stained page and the heavy silence of the cave.
