Karzad woke up at dawn with Nayru's head still resting on his shoulder, she was asleep. He stirred her softly, "Nayru, Nayru, wake up," "Mmmmm…" she groaned softly, and lifted her head, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "We need to get an early start," he said, "Let's go," They left on the other side of the crevice where they had slept a moment later, and surveyed their surroundings. There were guards prowling around the gates of the fortress, but for now they were out of their sight range. "The whole front seems surrounded, we're going to have to try some sort of alternate route," said Nayru, shading her eyes and looking about. "Leave it to me," Said Novur, flying up from her pocket, "I'll get the lay of the land and see if I can find anything." And with that she fluttered off. She returned about 15 minutes later and relayed to them the news. "At first I couldn't find much, but I kept on looking, and then I found something. There was a small tunnel going in through the back of the castle, but the area around it is heavily guarded so we'll have to be careful," She finished, "Okay," Said Nayru, wielding her blade, Karzad nodded and unsheathed his dagger, and they set out. They skirted the castle, staying close to the boulder barricade. They reached the back and found it too, to be crawling with guards. "I'll fly over and show it to you," Said Novur, "Okay," Said Karzad, and Novur flew over to the far easterly wall, and they could just make out a little hole, it looked like a drainage gutter, but it would have to do. Novur bobbed there for a moment, making sure they saw it, and then she flew back over. "Are you sure it's the only way in?" Said Karzad hesitantly. "Positive," said Novur, "But—" began Karzad, but Nayru cut him off, "It's perfect," She said. They made their way over, so they were out of the guards' vision, but so they were straight across from the opening. They swiftly and silently ran over, and maneuvered in and out of the guards' vision ranges, until they reached the opening. They crawled in. It was filthy and damp. They slipped and slid down in the slimy darkness. They followed the twisting turning pipeline, until at last they saw a dim red light at the end of the tunnel. They hurried to the end, and lifted the grate up, Nayru peered out cautiously. "The coast is clear," she whispered, they came out and surveyed their surroundings. They were in a humid, sweltering dungeon of some sort. The floor was built of thick black stone, like the boulders in the barricade, and that the only light came from a flaming red torch. Karzad grabbed it out of its bracket and then ventured a few steps down the dark hall that came off the room, peering into the gloom. "This is the only way as far as I can see," he said. So they pulled out their weapons, and then ventured into the darkness.
