Before the grand gates of the temple, a man with small eyes was intently watching for any changes in the doors.
The moment they opened, he would rush inside, following Caelum Nightshade's orders to retrieve the chest containing the sacred relic as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, Thalion and Linda, hidden in the shadows behind, watched the man standing motionless. For a moment, they were puzzled, unsure of the intentions of this stranger who had appeared out of nowhere.
Click, clack, creak…
Suddenly, the temple's massive double doors let out a stiff, grating sound.
A narrow gap appeared between them once more!
The small-eyed man's face lit up with joy, assuming the temple had finally opened.
Whoosh!
In the next instant, a powerful suction yanked him inside.
Clack!
The doors slammed shut again.
Thalion and Linda, still concealed behind a railing, waited a few seconds before stepping out into the open.
