"Like you need another way in." He smiled and shook his head. She always found a way into his room when she wanted too. Then again he never really tried to stop her from doing so, there would be no point. In honest truth he hoped she couldn't find a way into the underground chamber beside the one he had found. It would be horrible if someone found and stole Rho or any of the sacred items in there.

"I can take a look around that tunnel if you'd like," She said, "See if there's any other ways in or out." She was quite good at finding ways in and out of a place, no matter how hidden they were. It was just how she'd been trained; she was quite skilled at it and could find ones that were fairly obscure. And if they could be found, then they could blocked off, so no one else could get into the tunnel.

"Alright," He said slightly skeptic. He was afraid that she would find other ways out of the tunnel and more so he was afraid that she wouldn't find another way out. The importance of keeping the weapon away from everything ws key wad if another way wasn't found then that means the second entrance would be open to discovery by another person. However he was being pessimistic and had no right to be. It was probably Rho's presence that was putting him down so much. "That would probably be a good idea."

"I'll get to looking as soon as we get back," Amara said with a nod, "And don't worry. I'm sure there's not any other way in...if it holds such important things, they'd probably want fewer entrances rather than more. And if there are other ways out, we can always block them off, making sure no one can get in anyway." She didn't hope to find any extra entrances, but she knew there was always a possibility of it.

"Thanks." He smiled and turned his head to look at her directly. She was in all features of flesh a soft woman. In full heart, without any doubt, he could say say that he loved her and it would not be a lie. With his free arm he reached over an put it on her arm that was currently entangled with his other. His eyes softened and he slowly moved his eyes so that he wouldn't trip over any foilage.

"Its no problem," Amara said, smiling warmly at him as he turned his head to look directly at her. As she reached over and put his free arm onto hers, she rested her head on his shoulder, heaving a contented sigh. She loved him, she'd been sure of that long ago; and she knew he felt the same. She wouldn't to see anything happen to him, or to the rest of the Order. She'd grown as attached to the group as she was to her Clan. She walked along with him, her eyes darting between his face and the path ahead, to make sure she end up walking into anything by accident or something silly like that.

Kronos stayed quiet for the rest of their journey back to the keep. There was nothing for which he could think to say during their walk. There was nothing for which they needed to talk about any further as far as he was concerned at this moment in time. As they grew near to the keep though he could hear a small and deep voice talk in his head. The voice belonged to his sword Omega.
The sword was rarely one to speak and when it did he listened to it intently. However this time it was slightly different....The sword was surely speaking but Kronos couldn't understand a word it was saying. Strangely enough Omega was speaking in a language that he had never heard before. It reminded him of the language of Ettore, the man whom went by Rho. He had only heard the man speak in the language a few times but he could tell that Omega was speaking in a similar but slightly cruder but a more elegant tounge. Sadly he could not understand a small portion of it and Omega soon fell silent again.
Kronos slowed down their pace to stop and he turned his body so that he could fully embrace Amara. He did not give any much reason for it but he needed the embrace.

Amara didn't really mind the silence of their walk. She couldn't think of anything to say, but there was no awkwardness hanging between them. It was just a nice, peaceful journey back to the Keep. She glanced up at him a couple times, and saw an intent look on his face, like he was focused on something.
She doubted that he was speaking to Alephia; as she understood it, riders and bonds couldn't communicate over great distances, at least not well. The only other things she could think of was that he was thinking hard over something, or that he was speaking with his sword. GodFall weapons, as she'd been told, could speak to the minds of those who wielded them.
He slowed to a stop, as did Amara, and he turned and embraced her fully. She wrapped her arms around his body, moving close to him. She didn't question the embrace, and just rested her forehead against his chest.

Letting himself free in this embrace Kronos let out a contented sigh. He smiled and kissed the top of Amara's head before giving her a slight squeeze. He had gotten what he had needed as far as he could tell...Rather what he wanted at the moment was be alone with her in private. It was those moments, the alone time, that he greatly enjoyed the most. Hopefully we will get the chance later, he thought to himself.
"Alright!" He said to break the silence. In much of his own disapointment he brought them back to the GodFall weapon. "let's get this thing sealed away shall we?"

Amara let out a contented sigh of her own, smiling as she felt him give her a small squeeze and felt his lips on the top of her head. She would rather be alone with him as well. Not that they weren't alone at the moment, but they were out in the woods, there was no telling who could simply pop up at any time. She'd be sure they got some private time together, but, as Omega himself brought up, they had Rho to deal with first. "Let's," She said. A bit reluctantly, she pulled away from his embrace, slipped her arm around his again, and began to walking towards the Keep once again.

The two walked through the keep to Kronos' chambers along the edge of the courtyard. After they entered the rooms Kronos locked the main doors with bolt. He didn't want any more people to know where the passage was located and not to mention no one was allowed into his chambers without permission. That is with the exception of the few rooms of his that are used to house the weapons of the keep. With these rooms being taken up only his bedroom, bathroom, closet, and his small scroll room were actually where he had privacy.
Taking a small cylindrical item that he had hidden in his closet he lead Amara to the scroll room. The room was cramped and full of dust that could be taken off if one wipped their fingers along the wood or parchment inbetween. Taking careful measures Kronos removed a few scrolls from the spot reavealing a small gap between the wall and scroll tower. He moved the tower towards the left and then towards the wall and a small creaking sound could be heard as small pegs hidden on the back of the tower. There was then a click sound and Kronos moved the tower to the right and it disappeared into the wall revealing a small cupboard-like-hole with a trap door taking the available room in its floor.
Pulling the cylindrical item from his body he looked at it with a slight grin. "This was the hardest part to figure out." He remarked. "It took me forever to find this thing and even more to find out where it went." He pushed the object into what looked like solid rock in front of the small trap door. The object smoothly pushed a hole into the rock until the door fell open revealing a ladder that led down into the underground chamber.

Amara walked with Omega into the room, watching him dead bolt the door behind them. Omega usually didn't let people in without permission, though she rarely saw him lock his door. He really didn't want anyone else to know about the passage, so she made a note not to breathe a word of it to anyone.
She watched as he retrieved an object from his closet, then head into the scroll room. She watched as he moved the scroll tower aside, revealing a trap door where it had been. He then slid the cylinder into a rock in front of the door, causing it to swing open, and revealing a ladder down. She walked over to it, and started to go down the ladder, slowly and carefully.

Pulling the cylindrical key out of the hole Kronos waited a second or two before following Amara into the hole. The first room was rather small as all it had were four torches and the ladder. Just beyond the last two torches was a stone door. calmly Kronos made his way towards the door and pushed the key into an obvious hole in the rock and truned it to the side.
The door crept open revealing a very well lit room made of fine rock matterials fit for a palace. The floor and walls were made of the finest carved marble that any normal person would ever see. And the ceiling was made of what seemed like pure glass, save the strange glow that iluminated the room. Along the sides of the room were beautifully crafted small towers of scrolls that held many secrets of the Riders Keep that no one knew. As the room goes on though one could see at the end a few statues and places to keep weapons. It was obviously crafted to fit some of the GodFall weapons. However the statues were unfinished and there were not enough places to hold all sixteen weapons.

Amara waited for Omega at the bottom of the ladder in the small chamber. This chamber was plain, nothing special about it. Still, while waiting for Omega, she scrutinized every inch of it, looking for an alternate entrance, other than the one from above, and the door leading into the next chamber. Finding none, she quickly followed into the other room.
The next room was well lit, the floor and walls of fine marble, and the ceiling seeming to be made of glass, though light emanated from it. "This is incredible," She said, moving through the chamber, wondering how something like this could have been forgotten by the Order. She set to work looking for any other way in or out of the room, peering behind statues and running her hand along the walls, feeling for any subtle crack that might indicate a hidden door, and gently pushing the scroll towers, testing to see if any of them moved.

"It is, isn't it?" He remarked in agreement with Amara. As she moved around the room he watched her as she checked out the room for any hidden passages. He had done the same thing but she was certainly far more professional about it. While she continued looking he walked over to the statues and carefully studied each one until he came to the one he was looking for and took out the cloth that was holding Rho. Setting Rho down he took out a pair of gauntlets and placed them on the statue's hands. With that Kronos grabbed Omega for a small power transfer as to not be affected by Rho and unwrapped the Ji. Carefully he placed the weapon in the statue's hands as they were supposed to be put in and the statue's eyes opened letting Kronos know that he had done everything correctly. Grabbing up his cloak he turned back to Amara. "Anything?"
