Elina pauses and draws Luther's attention to a single wall in the furthest reaches of the crypt. "Luther, this wall is the problem. It shouldn't be here. Look." She holds the map out for him to see. Sheathing his dagger, Luther simply nods and moves closer to the wall itself.

"New construction," he says. "Much newer than the rest of the walls around here, and with different stone. I'd say there's something beyond this that people on this side weren't meant to see."

Elina nods, folding the map and tucking it into the tie on her robes. "Then that is where we must go, and I know just the way to do it."

Elina was drawn using stock photos provided by Emily, a.k.a. ~Feathered-pics . She has a variety of great stuff to draw from, and she fits the Elina character to a "T." Thanks a ton, Emily!
