"Look at this place! It's perfect. We can't take images of the sacred bones, but there are lantern riddles in the courtyard. We should play!" The group moved to the cultural center, where the museum had set up a "Trial of Wits." Staff dressed in First Age furs offered riddles. The prize was a hand-crafted Rabbit Lantern—a symbol of fertility and luck in the old lore.

They did as I told them, and we heard the electricity zipping through the air as the shield disappeared. The witches looked at us, trying to focus. One of them lifted their hand and pointed it at us. I felt a spell hit me, but it was too weak to do any damage. Kill. I ordered through the mind link. I heard a very familiar growl behind me. Leon was here.

I sighed, looking at the moon in dismay. "Whatever you are planning for, hope you get what you want" I whispered to the moon before walking back in.

It's a bathroom, not just any, but the most luxurious one, As huge as the room itself, every single piece of equipment is glistening in a golden glow, I don't even know what or how most of these are used for, I only recognize the bathtub and the shower head which I have seen only once before in the Alpha's restroom back in my old pack.
