The dark hallway leading up to the surface of the Academy awaited the three Investigators, but the path was not known. It would take them some time to find the right one...

Suddenly a chair came crashing out from the room ahead of Ganvalyon, Astien and Anhjari. The Khajiit whimpered in fear as she saw the huge beast come lumbering out into the hallway, sniffing around in the air. From what she knew it couldn't see very well at far range, but it had a heightened sense of hearing and smelling. If they weren't careful enough to stay out of its way in the darkness, it would surely find them.

"WHERE ARE YOU?" growled Ignatius with his hoarse voice. "I KNOW YOU ARE HERE... SOMEWHERE... YOU BETTER GIVE ME BACK THE ALRUNA..."

Anhjari swallowed hard and looked at Astien. ''Did you take it? ''she asked him mentally while he still had her shoulder under his hand.

"Yes, I will..." Vemirius didn't get much further before his chest ruptured, spraying his blood all over the cavern floor as five gruesome claws shot clear through his chest.

The captain of the Leyawiin City Guard groaned in indescribable pain as he was forcefully turned against the creature who had him completely impaled on its gnarled fingers. Francis Belmont grinned in satisfaction as he held Vemirius close up to his face.

"THIEF..." he murmured.

As Vemirius choked on his blood, he pulled the jar with the Wamusu heart from the inside of his coat, using the last of his strength to throw it behind his back, hoping that Scav would catch it.

"Take... it!" he sputtered as blood seeped down from his lips. "Run!"

Francis Belmont's gaze shifted their target to the Investigator behind the captain.
