Yeah, so I've been gone for a while. Sorry. . . nn'

After getting breakfast, Cain led Mary into the garden. "Cain, where are we going?" she whined.

"Somewhere,"

"Where?"

"Just stop complaining and I'll show you." Cain said smugly. He had reached the fountain in the center of the garden. He bent down and carefully slid his fingers under a loose stone. Underneath it, there was a marble staircase that led down into a dark and cold room. Cain grabbed his little sister by the hand and led her down. Once he was there, he felt the wall for a torch. When finnaly he felt the freezing metal on his hands, he lifted it to grab the pack of matches resting in the hole behind it. He lit a match, and lit the torch. He made his way around the room, revealing that it was absolutely enormous, and had a circular shape. The wall were barely visible underneath of the hundreds of guns, crossbows, and spears. THere were all sorts of weapons, ranging from ancient clubs and even bones to the latest technology. Cain heard Mary gasp.

"Cain. . ."

"Mary, this room has been kept secret, and I expect you to - Mary! Put that gun down!" The little girl had picked up a rifle and was examining it thouroughly.

"Cain, I lived in the streets by myself for all those years. . . You seriously think I don't know how to use one of these?"

Cain sighed. "Well, I guess that only makes my job easier. Pick a couple things, and we'll set off at dusk." He grabbed a pistol and a larger gun, and headed up the stairs.

That night, Cain set off in a carriage drawn by his fastest horses. He had no idea really were he was going, he just went on his gut. Mary was asleep in the carriage, with the abundance of deadly weapons. Cain was set on finding Riff, even it was the last thing he'd ever do.

The pain drove him into a strange forest, with an unsteady, uneven stone road. The horses stumbled across it until it ended with the thick, dark forest. He reached a small, run-down looking building that screamed "Creepy Kidnapper of a Half-Brother Humbly Resides Here."

Cain left Mary behind, and brought hos pistol with him. If anything, he'd check the inside of this place out without Mary. He opened the door to find a venomous smile plastered on a man's face.
