... something we can use. I’m going to track down the main entrance to the underground temple.”

“If the two of you are still in this valley when the sun sets….”

“We’ll hide in the church again. Please don’t be late,” said Sorine.

It was a slim hope, but hope nonetheless. The group split up, with Sam and Matei taking one of the trucks and driving off with the surviving villagers. Volker took a horse and set off into the mountains, leaving Sorine to pick through the remains of her destroyed village.

As they drove towards Tomhelm, Sam turned to Matei, still shaking from his night in the cage. “You fought in the Great War, right?”

“That’s right,” said Matei, trying to steady his breathing.

“I never thought the day would come when I’d rather be back in the trenches, did you?”

The two men shared a bitter laugh.

They arrived at Tomhelm late in the morning, a town much more urban than Runa. Cars drove down paved streets, and homes and buildings were lit by electricity and gas lamps.

“Good God, they’ve already traveled this far,” he hissed.

With no time to waste, he went to work gathering dynamite, blasting caps, a T-handle blasting machine, and lots of wire and cannon fuse. He then took off, driving as fast as he dared risk with a truck full of dynamite. As midday passed, he watched the sun, begging it to slow its journey across the sky. It was getting late in the afternoon when he finally returned to Runa. Volker and Sorine were waiting for him in front of the church.

“I’m back, and I took everything I could get my hands on. Please tell me you two have good news.”

“I believe I’ve found the entrance to the underground temple. There are tracks and drag marks from the demons moving in and out, as well as signs of ancient cult activity,” Volker said.

“I’ve gathered all the silver in town I could find and did what I could with it. I’ve never done silversmithing in my life, so it’s not pretty, but it’ll have to do. Come inside, ...
