Other than being dark, there was little that was threatening about the first part of the castle. Just a strait, dark, and damp cave-like corridor leading deeper into the castle. Suddenly, the passage split. Two smaller corridors broke off, one to either side of the larger main one. The main one was the only passage, which Dark Wing could fit thought.

The group halted as they hit the fork. Chrono looked at Cloud. "Now what?"
P
Cloud shrugged. "I have no idea." He glanced at the brothers. "Ask them. They may know."
P
Everyone looked up at the two. Sephiroth's back was to them, as he studied the passages. Sefiroth was watching his brother's back. Both knew how much many of the others distrusted them. Finally Sephiroth turned around. "I don't know which way. It's as if all my memories of this place have vanished…"
P
Chrono looked at the three passages once again. "I guess there's no choice but to break up into three groups. Each group takes a passage."
P
Cloud looked at the brothers. They knew what that met, and none of them were looking forwards to it. "I guess Sephiroth, Sefiroth, Dragon Shadow and I will make one group. Tifa, you lead a second, and Chrono a third."
P
The three dragons were discussing something that the others couldn't hear. Finally, Dragon Shadow nodded. "The three of us will break up. One dragon per group. I guess Dark Wing's group gets the middle passage. "
P
Zack walked over to Cloud. "I'm going with you. I don't feel comfortable around your friends. I don't think some of them trust me."
P
Cloud placed his hand on Zack's shoulder. "I'll be glad of the company."
P
Soon it was decided. Dark Wing and Chrono's group would head strait. Tifa's group and the youngling would head down the left, and Cloud and Dragon Shadow would head right. If anyone hit a dead end, they'd head back to the main point, and wait for the others, or mark the blocked off passage, and head off to join another group.
P
Tifa's group headed off first, followed by Chrono's, and finally Cloud's. None of them noticed the shadow detach it's self from the wall, and follow the last group down the right passage…

Author's notes: Ok it's a short chapter. I know. But it's setup for the next several chapters. I don't really want to start them here. The next couple of chapters will focus on a group, not all three. I'd guess that the next couple of chapters will be short as well./FONT/BODY
