several footsteps coming our way.

Not too bright, and not too dim. It was adequately bright enough to allow those passing through it to see where they were going.

Curious about how the tunnel came to be if it’s been here for ages or was just recently created, who and who knows it’s here or is he the only one that knows about its existence, I asked him through the mind link.

In which he responded as ‘Brice recently discovered it when he tracked down the scent of Lady Anya here. This is where they used to sneak into the Palace, alerting none of the guards on duty.’ 

That’s interesting. I didn’t know they were this deep into the Palace. I wonder for how long this their so-called plan has been for them to have time to construct this tunnel within the palace grounds or… has the tunnel been here before now and they discovered it, which gave them an advantage into the palace?

‘Do you have any idea when the tunnel was built?’ I asked him through the mind link.
