Jake didn't waste a single millisecond.
Moving with a lethal, silent speed that defied his massive bulk, Jake slipped out of his room. He bypassed the main stairwells, utilizing a narrow, forgotten service conduit built into the fortress's original foundation. The air grew instantly colder, smelling heavily of damp stone, ancient dust, and the sharp, metallic tang of oxidized iron. His combat boots made no sound against the rough-hewn rock as he descended deeper into the earth, his jaw clenched hard against the blinding wave of pressure radiating from the high throne room directly above him.
