Is always revealed in the light

The party now away from that grotto is once again plunged into total darkness, hoping they're going the right way but luckily for them, they're not without a path for long as they walk forward, they come across what appears to be a rope and wooden plank bridge.

Amilia looks back at the group with a confused expression but Kyuala nods her head forward, giving Amilia the signal to go ahead which the cat does, her light steps easily supported by the planks as she begins to cross.

Next is John who is worried to his core, he can't even see below the bridge which makes it worse, he then takes a breath and with the reassuring look of Lani who is beside him, he begins to walk on the bridge.

Last to cross is Kyuala, her usual confidence has faded and now fear is prevalent on her face, she cautiously takes the first step and her fear isn't helped a single bit as the plank begins creaking under the weight of her step.

She stops for a moment, taking a breath to try and slow her rapidly beating heart.

After letting out the exhale, Kyuala takes a step forward and then another, eventually she just goes into autopilot, not even thinking about it until she takes a step and lands onto stone.

She looks down and sees that she's finally back on solid ground so she takes a sigh of relief before looking up and see John, Lani and Amilia looking at her, that's when Kyuala says, "I'm not great with heights alright?".

"Oh no, it totally wasn't obvious at all" Amilia says sarcastically with a smirk even obvious in the pitch black.

Kyuala then gives Amilia a small punch on her arm before the cat begins leading the group down the path yet again.

Another few minutes of walking and they finally come up to a very large opening that's brightly lit by what appears to be multiple fires that they can see from just peeking around the corner.

They intensively scan around the room and that's when they see just a single person with their back turned to them, chalice in hand as said person stares at a crackling fire.

The party then look amongst themselves as John says, "That one's dressed differently than those other guys, you think they could be the leader?".

"You're basing it off their clothes?" Lani asks.

"Well it's not like they're gonna be wearing a big bade that says 'big bad leader' are they?" Amilia says with her classic sarcastic tone.

"But they wouldn't be alone, they'd have some sort of guard around them at least" Kyuala adds.

"Well they don't have one so let's go kill the sucker and take the silver cups" Amilia says as she moves forward into the room to the dismay of Kyuala who almost shorts in frustration before following behind.

John and Lani look at each other with concerned gazes but without much choice, they follow suit.
