When Aine reached the hut, she slipped inside, looking at the table in the back. She hid the bottles of whiskey in the corner, and moved the table over. She stared at the ground for a while, and then removed the stone from where it covered the secret entrance, glancing at the ladder. With a moment's hesitation, she began climbing down the ladder, making sure her slick hands didn't slip on the rungs. When she reached the bottom, she looked out into the narrow, dark tunnel, and took a breath. She closed her eyes and let her Grace take over. She could sense hunger and sorrow down here; she focused herself until she was centered on one being's emotions. Then, with her eyes closed, she began to weave her way through the tunnels, following nothing but her Grace.
