My friends and I traveled back up the stairs and into the hallway. Stepping through one of the massive holes in the wall, we entered the secret room where most of the battle had taken place. The Southern-fried remains of Talon and Lance still lay on the floor, and well as various bloodstains and muffin crumbs. I didn't see any way for them to have gotten in here, unless they had somehow teleported. To the back of the room was a large painting of a river, with a bronze title plaque below it. It seemed like an odd place for a painting. As I stood staring at it, I noticed a gentle humming sound, like something electronic was running nearby.
