Lucius approached the cluttered table, his face etched with concern. "Orion, what did you learn from the maps?" he asked, the weight of dread in his voice.

Orion looked up, his eyes grim and determined. "The top has been burned clean. Now, it's time to focus on what's beneath. The roots of this curse run deep, and they need to be purged."

Lucius nodded, a somber look crossing his face. "And what should we do?"

Orion's expression hardened with resolve. "Take the children outside. Don't, under any circumstances, try to open the door to the lower levels. It's too dangerous. I promise, once this is ready, you'll be safe."

Lucius's gaze was unwavering, reflecting his trust in Orion's plan. "We'll follow your instructions. Just—be careful."

Orion gave a curt nod, turning back to his preparations. "I will. I need to ensure this is done right."

As Lucius departed to gather the others, Orion continued to study the maps and spell books, preparing for the daunting task ahead. His focus was razor-sharp, knowing that the safety of his family and the manor rested on his shoulders. The flames outside roared, a reminder of the purging fire that had begun the process.
