The flight into Paris was boring, they had arrived at the airport early and had to wait an hour for the plane after they had gone through security. Their plane took them straight to France, but Bracken didn't sleep at all. Though, when they landed and got their rental jeep Bracken practically passed out in the back seat. Gavin, Seth and Warren drove in silence for 30 minutes on the way to the cave. The jeep slowed when it got outside a coffee shop. Warren turned to Gavin in the front seat and Seth in the back next to Bracken. "It's somewhere on this street, keep your eyes peeled." Warren said.
"I don't s-s-suppose it will just look like a cave from the outside, it's p-probably a door or s-something." Gavin said "How are we g-g-going to know what it looks like?"
Warren thought for a moment, "Stan said it used to be a palace before the war, then just the basement was left, maybe we will find it in an allyw-"
"What about there!" Seth said. He was pointing to a street that crossed over and led to a bridge that went over the river. On the corner was a set of double glass doors that led to a spiral staircase.
"Seth that rusty door probably goes to the kitchen of a restaurant or something." He looked convinced there were no glass doors.
"Did you have your milk this morning?" Seth asked, Warren shook his head. "You can wait in the jeep with Bracken. I don't want to wake him up, and he shouldn't be here alone. Gavin and I will go. Also, Stan said only a shadow charmer's touch can open the door"
Warren nodded "I guess that makes sense, do you guys have your swords?" Gavin and Seth nodded.
Gavin stepped out of the jeep followed by Seth, "Be b-back soon" Gavin said. The two boys ran across the street. Seth braced himself and pressed his palm against the smooth glass. It softly glowed gray for a second then swung open. Seth and Gavin descended the spiral stairs.
