Moving carefully, Alyssa began to explore the dark chamber, moving towards the mysterious object at the end of the room. As her eyes adjusted to the dark, the objects that surrounded her revealed themselves to be dark metal cages, rust and corrosion covering their once intricate and ornate metal bars. Despite their elegant design, the fact that the cages were big enough to hold a person sent a chill down Alyssa's spine.<br/><br/>As she moved closer, the pale mass at the end of the chamber revealed itself as something unexpected; countless hundreds of candles melted together into a single huge mass that clung to the stone wall, their molten wax caught frozen in time as it ran in rivers down the sides of the mass of candles to pool on the stone floor. It was oddly beautiful in a way, she thought. But then her eyes caught something next to the curious mass of candles, which suddenly caused her to quickly raise her guard.<br/><br/>Hidden in the shadows beside the candle shrine was what looked like a figure, crouched low to the ground, their form entirely covered in layers of ragged cloth. It remain still and inanimate, but heart pumping adrenalin Alyssa did not lower her guard, her eyes locked on the strange entity, presuming it was a living thing.<br/><br/>She backed away from it carefully,when she heard shouting that was diminished by the strange atmosphere of this place to mere muffled sounds. Was that Salla's voice? Alyssa risked a glance over her shoulder towards the front entrance, her sword raised and gripped tightly in her hand in apprehension.
