Seth walked through the quiet dungeon. Now that Agad is the new caretaker at the Living Mirage, Seth used the translocater to visit often. He rarely spoke with Agad, but most of the prisoners in the dungeon were released so he had a great place to relax when needed. The dungeon at Fablehaven was more occupied and at the Living Mirage, Seth could not get caught by his grandparents. He thought they were slightly overprotective. Seth walked deeper into the dungeon. He started to hear voices, but they did not bother him, considering that he was a shadow charmer. Agad had left the prisoners in the back of the dungeon there, because he reasoned they were there for a purpose. Even though he would get in trouble, Seth had the desire to look through a peep hole into the cell of a prisoner. It was just a peek, why not? After a few minutes of considering the pros and cons, Seth decided there was no harm. He chose a cell on his left that was farther from the back, hoping he would not come face to face with a wrath. He slowly closed one eye and put his open one to the peep hole. He pressed his hands against the door. On the cot lay the sleeping body of a man. As he tossed in his sleep, Seth could see it was the Sphinx. Knowing that the Sphinx was a prisoner he was not surprised. Walking deeper into the dungeon he decided to look into another cell. He putt his ear to the door first, just to make sure he didn't hear and wraths inside. When it was clear, he pressed his hands against the door and quietly looked into the cell. Hunched over in a corner, a teenage boy with long, dark, shaggy hair had his face in his hands, resting against his knee. Seth felt bad for the poor boy, Seth had been in the prison at the Living Mirage last winter. He knew how bad it was. He had an urge to comfort the boy, but being this far back in the dungeon, he could be dangerous. His sister Kendra never got in trouble, so what would she do in this situation? She probably would not have looked in the cell in the first place. Pulling his face from the door, he paused to think. He thought if he was a dangerous creature he would not have been put in a cell fit for a mortal. Seth came to the conclusion of knocking on the door and cheering up the boy. Seth probably should not refer to the prisoner as a boy considering he looked older than himself. Seth held his knuckles up to the door, hesitated for a moment, and lightly tapped against the hard wood. He put his ear to the door and heard movement.
"H-hello?" A familiar voice called. Seth didn't know who it was, but he recognized it.
"Umm hey, Uhh I'm Seth and ummm"
"S-Seth I am so glad you are here! P-please, help me!" Seth still didn't know who the prisoner was, but his curiosity got the best of him. Bracing himself for the worst, he brought his open eye to the peephole again to look in. He imminently saw the face of none other, than Gavin Rose.
Hair hung of his face, his clothes hung loosely around him. They were torn and ruined, but Seth instantly knew who he was. A tear started to form in Gavin's eye.
"Please, Seth. It was not m-m-me, I s-s-swear" Gavin exclaimed. Seth pulled away from the door. His face, full of shock, as he pulled the Translocater from his pocket. His fingers fumbled with the buttons as he thought of the attic at Fablehaven. He twisted it clockwise, just in time to hear Gavin call from behind him
"Seth w-w-w-wait!"
