27 Cave (1/2)
Dorian threw a quick look at the others before advancing forward. He didn't expect anything to actually happen here, after all he knew this wasn't the Butcher's home, so what dug luck would it be to fall upon scary things?
But it looks like today wasn't their day. Dorian stepped down in the darkness, descending the stairs. Actually, once he was in he could see a little, but even his vision was severally undermined.
He helped the others down the stairs, and led the way. They formed a line by holding hands as to make sure they wouldn't lose anyone.
The tunnel wasn't very long, and soon they saw light again. They followed it until they reached a strange place. It was an enormous grotto that was plunging deep into the earth. The whole cave was bathed in a strange green light that seemed to chill everyone.

At the entrance of the grotto, Dorian spotted Kevin and Natasha were on the ground. He quickly joined them and was relieved to see they were simply unconscious. With a little shake they woke up with a gasp.
After quickly calming them down, Dorian asked ”What happened?” Kevin looked pretty shaken but Natasha was able to answer him ”We discovered this cave, and searched a bit… Until we were attacked.”
Dorian frowned and asked ”Who attacked you?” This time, Kevin replied, still looking afraid ”Demons! It was demons!”
Dorian rolled his eyes and looked at Natasha, but saw that she wasn't denying, but instead said ”They attacked us and took Rose and Leon away.”
Dorian shook his head and said ”Whoever they were, we need to find them now. Though, I wonder what this cave could possibly be…”
He looked at the ones behind who were slowly catching up and said ”Take care of the two of them, I will go search for Rose and Leon.”
The others didn't object, they were already too scared to advance any more. After all, hearing that demons were ahead, they wouldn't just go sacrifice their life meaninglessly.
They tried holding Dorian back, but quickly understood they wouldn't be able to do it.
So Dorian ran down the cave alone, following the path that looked man-made. As he made his way down, Dorian couldn't help but admire the beautiful sight created by the color of the air, mixed with the light emitted by the different gems on the walls.
It didn't take long for Dorian to reach the bottom of the cave, and how surprised was he by what he saw. The bottom of the cave was actually a big pond, with mystical orange water.
On the water, was a platform on which an altar was erected. Below the altar, Dorian could see both Leon and Rose, the two were currently being tied by four strange creatures.
They looked humanoid, but the skin they exposed was red, they had claws instead of hands and had two horns on their foreheads. Dorian now understood why they had been called demons earlier.
He didn't know what they were up to, but Dorian knew that he couldn't let them do whatever they wanted to do with Rose and Leon.
So he activated [Fade] and entered Sneak mode, quickly approaching the group.
No one was able to see him approach until he broke the neck of one of demons. The three remaining ones looked at him in fury, and Dorian was shocked by their eyes.
They had no pupil, all Dorian could see was a flame in their eyes. He felt his control over his body leave him and he entered a strange place, a dark place.
Suddenly, a light appeared, because a big flame lit up in the sky. But the surroundings still looked as dark as before for Dorian…
Dorian was suddenly exiled from this space as he felt something hit his chest, and send him flying. He barely had the time to see that one of the demons had hit him before he hit the ground, pain wrecking his chest.
