"What?!! did you get the Golden Map" Clara questioned Ryan enthusiastically,
"Yes, we got 15 minutes to leave before sunrise"
"Yes, lets leave from here" Drake hurried to return back, three of them returned back. But there was no exit, all the routes got changed. The cave started to shift, it felt like it was alive.
"The cave, its shifting. Where is the exit?" Clara shouted, they took many routes still it lead them back to the same spot.
"What do we do now?" Drake searched for any alternative way.
"The Old man didn't even say anything about this, didn't he know this would happen" Clara cursed that old monk, while thinking of old monk she remembered the quote which was hung on the wall of old man's house 'WHEN YOU HAVE GOLD, YOU NEED TO TORE THE ROOF". She thought it was very weird quote but she tried to process it.
Her face lit up, she took her sword pointing towards the upper part of the cave. With her all might power she attacked it to the upper wall, it started to tear apart. The blood dripped through it, They came out of that cave.
"How is this cave bleeding?" Drake questioned Clara,
"How can I know? I just knew how to escape due to a silly quote" she replied back, sun rised slowly spilling the ray of light one by one.
Without wasting further time Ryan opened the Golden map, Drake and Clara peeked behind the Ryan's back. The map was empty, Clara grabbed map from Ryan to check the thing properly. But from either side it was empty, the old monk appeared in front of Clara from nowhere. Clara got struck by sudden appearance making her to fall on her knees.
"Ohhhh I see, you people already got the Golden Map. Don't worry it will show the route when it is held against the fire or warm objects" Old monk left from there without any further conversation.
Ryan took out his sword, he used his power to heat the sword and kept the Map upon it. The red lines appeared in it, showing the route towards Blood Gem.
"So, where do we move next?" Drake question's Ryan,
"We are moving towards Moon light city, which falls in west direction of this city"
"So, let's move" Clara got ready to go but Drake stopped her
"Where are you going? We are already covered in mud and dirt, you expect us to go like this?"
"Ohh, I forgot about that" she started to laugh out. They moved towards the main road, it was fully crowded place. Drake took them to a royal japanese style hotel, it seemed very luxurious.
"Guys, one of my friend works here. So, I can contact him to give us discount" Drake touched his nose appreciating himself. In vampire world all the trade took place by giving gems, diamonds and gold as currency.
Three of them walked to main hotel reception area, where a girl wearing kimono was seated in wooden desk. Drake went to enquire the girl,
"Hello miss, can I speak to Rex?"
"Am sorry but he switched his job to a different branch a month ago"
Drake turned back to see Clara and Ryan staring at him, he gave the reception girl a awkward smile before returning to his friends.
"Don't worry Drake. Let me give a try" Clara moved towards reception.
"Hello, I want to book two rooms for tonight"
"Okay, it will be 10 blue diamonds"
"I have 1 green diamond would give me the change"
"Yeah sure, here is the change" Clara took the key and her change which was 2 pink diamonds that were equal to 90 blue diamonds.
"Come on guys, here is key for your room" Drake and Ryan stared blankly at each other.
"Don't worry, I too have friend here. She said she can give us free rooms only for 1 night" Clara answered in hurry, dragging them towards their room.
She left to her room which was beside theirs, in other room Drake and Ryan had already laid their head in the bed.
"Don't you feel weird about Clara?" Ryan questioned Drake,
"About what? She said she is upper class and they might have many connection thats why she was able to book today's room"
"But Drake have you ever thought about she might have some hidden agenda"
"You are just overthinking, she has some secret but I Don't think she might harm us" Ryan didn't reply to Drake back he kept staring at the ceiling thinking about something.
"Hey Drake, you know how I got the map?" Drake had almost forgotten about it
"How?!!" Ryan told him whole story and he said,
"When I was coming out it was shining inside the broken mirror"
"Wow it was really hard for you right"
"Not even 1%" They both took some rest after fresh up.
While Clara's mind drawn her back to the old monk, when she met him after coming out of the cave that felt very weird. She doubt about the sudden appearance and she also noticed that old monk was bleeding near his right leg almost like the skin was torn apart.
