CHAPTER 98 THE HEIST
The half moon hid behind the dark moving clouds. It was going to rain, and soon, it did.
The heavy downpour washed over the city like a garden.
On a roof top, Roman, Sylver, Lunar and Anya stood like agents, all clad in black leather armor with a thick hood falling behind. Their long hair stood out in their colors like a rainbow.
Not a single drop of rain touched them as Sylver had a forcefield over their heads.
Tonight, they were going to sneak into the King's Castle.
"So what are we looking for anyway?"
Anya asked.
"Penny, the librarian says he wrote a book about the Tiger Clan. It's locked somewhere in the King's library along with a certain artifact that I believe to be my father's"
Roman explained.
"To the King's library, I know where it is"
Anya nodded.
"I've had Fury use a tunnel to locate the another entrance to the Castle. He found it, so we won't have to spend time searching. And if they're any surprises in the tunnels, I'm sure we can handle it"
Roman added.
"Well, what we waiting for, let's go"
Lunar said.
They put on their hood, which covered their face completely, then they jumped off the roof, disappearing into the night.
The group appeared behind the academy tower like library.
Fury led the way, locating the entrance for the tunnel.
They arrived at an abandoned well. It looks like it hasn't been used in ages, but strangely there was enough water in it.
Fury squeak as he climbed the well. He beaconed at them...and then jumped into the well.
The water splashed out on impact.
Roman looked at the others and nodded.
He jumped in first and they followed.
Inside the well, Roman followed Fury as he swam deeper. On each side of the well, there were strange runes imbedded on.
Roman thought that they glowed.
Soon, Fury disappeared from his sight. Roman pushed forward and he suddenly found himself falling freely in a dark carven.
"What the..."
He quickly turned to face the ceilings and he spotted the the bottom of the well. It was wide opened, but the water remained afloat, not falling down. It was like a strange force held up the waters.
Then Slyver came stumbling out of it.
She had the same confused look as Roman but was quick to regain herself.
The cavern was deep and so was the fall. Roman still kept falling asleep he couldn't see the end due to the strange foggy environment.
"This sucks"
Red lightning flashed across his body and he kicked the air and blitz back up.
Roman grabbed Sylver mid air and blitz back down. His boots landed on the ground floor in second.
"That's much better"
Roman said as he placed Sylver down.
"Thanks"
She smiled.
A purple lightning flashed beside them and Lunar appeared.
"I like a free fall, but not this kind"
He said as he looked around the carven.
"Where's Anya?"
Sylver asked.
"Right here"
Anya appeared beside them.
"What's with the fog?"
She asked.
"I donno, but who ever made this tunnel must be creepy"
Lunar said.
Fury squeaked as he climbed up Anya's head.
"How did he survive the fall?"
Anya suddenly asked.
Fury let out another squeak as puffed his tiny chest.
"I guess I keep under estimating you little guy"
Lunar said.
"Well no time to waste now. We need to be back before dawn for morning drills"
Roman said.
"Fury, lead the way"
Fury nodded.
He jumped off and rushed off.
"Stay sharp guys "
Roman nodded and they followed the squirrel behind.
