”DAWN! CassIE!” He shouted in hope for his voice to reach his co for him in somewhere where he couldn't see them

After a few seconds spent without any response, he decided to head down right away However, as he turned to look at the other end of the bridge, Daniel noticed a person standing by the entrance of the first rooed to an extremely muscular two-meters-tall man with ebony-colored skin, half of which was covered by a layer of white paint in a maze pattern Only dressed in a pair tattered pants, rudely ed two curved knives, and a beige cloth that rapped around his head and face, leaving only his dark brown eyes uncovered, this person stared at Daniel withouta muscle

To startle Daniel more than the appearance of this individual, was the lack of a response froroup, as in order to follow Daniel all the way to the top of the tower, this man would have had no choice but to run into them

The two looked at one another for a few moments, but as Daniel's hand inched towards his knife, the dark-skinned figure stepped back, and disappeared into the dark part of the room

”I just had to check this dah of irritation He then unsheathed both of his bone knives, and after taking a run-up, he dashed past the length of the bridge, and shot into the roo to avoid any form of trap that the talk dark-skinned man could have prepared for him
