A SLIPPERY RAT NARRATOR Tomas started barking in his mind; Aldo couldn't deny it.

They had been discovered.

"Get ready to follow me out and fight.

We can't let them trap us in here, or we're finished." He instructed, beginning to crawl toward the exit.

He suspected the intentions of their assailants.

"Bring the firewood, hurry, pour the accelerant!" The man could already taste his victory.

In the daylight and with the help of the dogs and footprints, they had discovered that behind that natural barrier was a narrow entrance.

The only concern was whether it had another exit, but no one was willing to check.

The best option was to set it ablaze and see if the rats would come running out.

"stack it properly." The men moved, carrying bundles of dry grass.

and twigs from the forest.

The lieutenant advanced on his horse, all heroic, torch in hand, fire roaring in his heart.

If he managed to eradicate these supernatural beings, he could even claim the reward offered by the palace.

---- The Regent would promote himmaybe even grant him a territory to rule.

His mind filled with foolish daydreams.

"Be ready.

Unsheathe your swords and bows," he murmured, guiding his horse closer to the rock stacked with firewood.

suddenly, the animal grew restless, bucking, sensing dangerthe low growl reaching its ears.

"Move forward, you idiot! Stop being a coward! If you dont move, Pll turn you into stew!" He spurred it viciously, but the horse only hesitated, taking a few uncertain steps.

"Damn it," he cursed through clenched teeth and decided to dismount.

"Everyone, stay alert." He ordered, drawing his sword from the scabbard at his hip.

One step, another.

He leaned down to peer through a crack between the rock and the cliffside.

"Shit." He tooka step back upon discovering, shrouded in darkness, a pair of beastly eyes filled with rage that made him tremble from head to toe.

They were in there.

They hadn't escaped! Taking a few steps back, a sinister grin spread across his face as he lowered the torch, ready to unleash chaos.

Just inches from the dry grass...

"Ahhh!" A scream echoed against the towering canyon walls, stopping him in his tracks.
