melted into the crowd reaching the 12th
level in under 5 minutes she paused only
briefly in the air before heading
towards the clan leader s Cavern intent
on Eaves dropping for any discoveries
before she could arrive she spotted a
dwarf of remarkable stature exiting a
familiar Cavern instinctively she
averted her gaze and maneuvered her
broomstick to land discreetly behind a
tree the cavern from which he emerged
was indeed the one belonging to the
third Clan Elder her primary suspect
however given the audacity with which he
traversed it was likely the clan leader
was not within after waiting a moment
guon tion continued her cautious flight
surveying the surroundings until she
caught sight of a figure in the distance
heading towards the clan leader Cavern
her heart leaped with joy as she
silently alighted before the third Clan
Elders dwelling staring once more at the
stern self-portrait exuding an aura of
authority without uttering a word jonon
was convinced that among the four Clan
Elders he possessed the greatest
strength even if he were absent she

raced uncontrollably but realizing she
was so close to three formidable Clan
Elders made her acutely aware of the
danger of being discovered she quickly
adjusted her breathing and stealthily
retreated what guon tion was unaware of
was that she owed her thanks to the
sounds of the underground river without
it the Keen ears of the Elder Lords
would surely have detected her presence
however as she turned her broomstick she
suddenly found herself under scrutiny
The Gaze was investigative authoritative

Elder approximately 1.3 M tall with
disheveled half white hair an unkempt
beard and wrinkled clothing yet even
this disheveled figure could not conceal
the sharpness of his gaze a wave of
invisible pressure washed over gonon
making it difficult for her to breathe
despite her invisibility it felt as
