Third Person's POV
Ethan wryly laughed inside as they were scaling the very spire where Ethan and Aurae were currently concealed.
It wasn't long before they reached the window ledge.
Aurae's face tensed with apprehension but when she noticed they weren't paying attention to their precise location, she exhaled quietly in relief.
Still, Ethan remained absolutely vigilant and ensured that their bodies didn't shift or make contact with the approaching individuals.
They were both pressed into the narrow crevice at the edge of the window sill while being almost fused with the shadows.
Behind them lay a wooden trap door barring entry into the spire's interior.
To his surprise, as the figures reached the window, one of them produced a slender metallic lever.
Without hesitation, he tapped the wooden trap door with it, and to both Ethan and Aurae's astonishment, the door dissolved into dark shimmering ripples and vanished entirely.
