The landing was softer than she imagined but now Minora has a bigger problem, getting down without looking like a fool. They had been flying for hours and honestly Minora had forgotten what the ground felt like under her feet. Lifting one leg over the side she slid down the side of Kalaf and dropped to her knees, her legs felt like they were jelly and wouldn’t support her weight but this feeling only lasted a moment as she stood up and brushed off her clothing looking around nothing but rocks and dirt.
She didn’t expect a welcome sign telling them where the grave was but at least a marker to even say they were in the right place, after a few moments of searching the surrounding areas Minora was about to suggest maybe they were in the wrong area the book could have been written just to throw off whoever was looking like grave robbers and the such. Many books concerning important figures and their final resting places often lie or leave out certain details just to throw off those who would seek to plunder the riches inside.
Minora sighed before something caught her eyes it was stone but not like the surrounding stones around it they were more natural this looked carved, Minora’s eyes glowed purple as she raised her hand up and from under a large pile of rocks a carved statue of a soldier made from marble rose up, it was a tiefling half the soldiers statue was gone leaving only the upper half and even that was not in good condition. The statue floated over to her as she spoke out and looked over towards Kamille.
“Well i’d say we're in the right spot at least… See the decoration on the statues armor a sun i’m better if this was in color his armor would be black, someone made it pretty hard to find this tomb and someone went to even more trouble to smash this statue. There are probably more around under the stones which might mean that the entrance to the mausoleum might be on the side of a rock covered up with others.”
Minora placed the statue down and began turning over rocks her eyes glowing each time she used her abilities giving off that light purple hue from her eyes she moved stone after stone till finally there it was in the side of a large rock an ornately carved entrance with a broken gate swinging back and forth, the staircase lead down and down into the darkness. Minora snapped her fingers and a red fire with black mixed in appeared around her hand giving off a certain light as a torch, she turned to kamille and motioned downward.
“Lady Kamille i think i might have found something if it isn’t a tomb then it’s certainly something connected to the black Sun there are markings of it all over the doorway and on the walls leading down.”
