The guards looked away from Loki towards the newcomer. "You protect him?", the chief asked Bard, just before he felt a blade at his throat and spine. He made a gasp of breath as he felt it, afraid. The other two guards behind him had their hands on their swords, ready if Loki would cause more harm. Hearing Bard tell them that their master is expecting them, the chief felt the knives retract. He noticed the Dark Elves above them and signaled Bard and Loki to follow, just before they exited down a tunnel.

A wheeled cart rolls on the pathway on a bridge as a woman pushes the cart while wearing a hood cloak over her and a veil covering her face. Mystical music played in the background as her yellow-green eyes showed in a small slit of her veil. The bird on the cart cawed. "Steady as she goes!", it says before a monkey on the cart turned a crank to play music.
