The Garden was of modest size with those hedges surrounding it on all sides. It must have been some kind of sorcery afoot for there were no entrances or exits besides the one that Lucian had just made for the two of them. Such a clean check to be that little bit more of a deterrent against the Knights if they ever suspected the gardens but did not have enough knowledge that it was the garden itself which was the target.
Lucian could smell it in the wind now. It was hard to describe it as the scent was carried across the wind throughout the entire place. Damning it was he could not say the winds were anything but the same kind that flowed through his village upon the death of it. A sickening harrowing that promised a deep darkness to be set into the ground.
“Are you feeling it?” Lucian looked over to see a raised brow from Adok as he held the hammer within his hands, “The Shyish is so thick here I can taste it. Its death magic Umgi.”
“So he’s here?” Lucian felt a little ignorant to say but he still said such words.
“Aye he did. Made the entire garden his cauldron of magic.” The dwarf pointed out as he raised the hammer, “Pity we broke it, he probably knows we are here.”
As the dwarf’s words sounded the place around him began to move. Before anything could happen though the dwarf’s hammer began to glow brightly before he slammed it into the ground. Suddenly the subtle wind that was flowing within this garden stalled and the ruptures of the ground dampened.
“You’re not going to pull such simple parlor tricks on a Runesmith.” The Dwarf championed as he gave a mighty laugh, “Let’s make him pay for trying to pull one over us.”
Lucian gave a nod of the head and marched forward. He gave a few test swings with the scythe as he felt the chainmail that Adok made rubbing against his skin. The two of them walking towards the center to see a gazebo that was somehow shrouded in darkness against the efforts of Morrslieb that hung in the sky.
They were not fools. The moment Adok stopped upon the wood he took his hammer and slammed into the wooden floor, splintering it to reveal the pathways down into their lair.
