Boscha and Luz went to the door and opened it slowly.
"This place looks abandoned." Luz said.
Boscha and Luz walked around and looked at the cells.
"Oh, my Titan." Boscha said, trying not to puke.
"That's... wow." Luz said.
Every cell they passed was full of corpses, bones, or just blood.
"It... it looks like they starved to death."
"It also looks like someone cut them a part." Luz said, "Why though?"
"We can figure that out later, right now, we have to find that hunter."
As they were looking around the prison, Skara followed the masked man. He led her to a room that had a board with several pictures and red strings on it.
"I have discovered a secret base inside an old Emperor's Coven prison. I also noticed that the Emperor himself entering the prison. I believe he has hired these hunters, but I still don't understand why?"
"I... the way you talk when referring to the Emperor, it tells me that you have a history with him." Skara said.
"He... I'm an orphan because of him. He petrified my parents."
Skara's eyes widened.
"I... I'm sorry."
"You don't need to apologize; you didn't do anything." He said.
"If what you say is true, I need to warn my Brood."
"I am planning on attacking that prison and looking for evidence to confirm my theory." He said, "Will you join me?"
"If this is true, then yes. I need to protect my fellow Brood members."
"Great, follow me."
He led her to a large part of the cave that held a massive creature.
"This is my pet/ best friend, Jho. He's a-"
"Surian. I thought they went extinct thousands of years ago." Skara said.
"They did. I found him frozen in ice. He's the last of his kind."
Skara finally got a good view of the massive carnivore. Luz had shown her a book Eda found in the Human Realm. It was about the Human Realm's equivalent of a Surian. They were called Dinosaurs and this one greatly resembled a T-Rex, only with the sail of a Dimetrodon on its back. Skara placed a hand against its side and felt the warm scales and moved her hand to the hair like feathers.
"His feathers are so soft." She said.
The masked man climbed on and held out a hand to Skara. She took it and he helped pull her up.
"You might want to hang on." He said.
He took the reins and Jho started moving. In the prison, Boscha and Luz were walked into a big room. They walked over to a table with papers on it.
"Boscha, grab as much as you can take. If this is where their hideout really is, then these can't be good."
Boscha and Luz grabbed a few papers and put them in Luz's bag.
"They're gone. They must've had a secret passage." Luz looked at Boscha, "You're nervous. I can sense it."
"Damn emotional connection. Luz... I'm the only family my mom has left. If these hunters do kill us, she'll have lost both her daughters."
"Boscha, look at me, I won't let anything happen to you." Luz said, "I refuse to lose any more family."
Boscha wiped a tear out of her eye.
"Thanks, Luz."
The sweet moment was cut off when they heard a groan. The cousins looked at each other and moved to the room the groan came from. They opened the door and grimaced at the smell and sight. There was blood splattered on the walls and floor, there was rotten meat inside, and there were two, severely injured and malnourished, prisoners inside. One of the prisoners looked at the door and closed their eyes because of the light.
"What? Come to beat us more?" One said.
Luz and Boscha finally saw the prisoner's and gasped.
"Lucia?"
"Becky?"
