It was completely silent for a few hours. Thalia had sat there for so long and the only thing of note she could see was the patrol routes of what few guards there were. The night was calm and safe as far as she could tell.<br/><br/>Then she heard a very soft scratching coming from the door. A few moments later she saw a small, spiky creature suddenly appear in front of it. It was dark black and has spines running up it's entire body. From the tip of it's scorpion like tail to it's head. The beast opened the door a crack and slipped inside.
