"Well, then. Follow me." said Ciel with a grin. "There are several ways to get to the Underground Railroad, but the closest is close to the outskirts of the city."

After about thirty minutes of walking, Ciel stopped in a alleyway scanning the surrounding area to make sure there weren't any witnesses. She stopped at what looked like an ordinary deadend, but it held a secret. She pushed a brick further into the wall, and whispered a passcode to a guard on the otherside. The guard, using his powers, moved the bricks aside to reveal a hidden tunnel leading somewhere underground. Ciel turned to Sapphire and Ivan. "Come on."

Ciel led the group down the winding and mysterious tunnel for a good while with a flashlight till finally the tunnel began to change. It started to branch off into crystalized tunnels, and further down it, the tunnel branched off into caverns. The whole base of operations was a huge secret underground cave system with natural air venting in and out. The largest natural cavern even had a one hundred foot waterfall with pure clean freshwater pouring in from the local river. The great thing was no one knew it existed, and with the combined powers of several Nightbanes, the whole place is shrouded with a barrier to protect it from detection. It was also very beautiful. The crytals as well as the stalagmites and stalagtites, all ranged in a huge variety of colors. Ciel absolutely adored the place. She did grow up here after all. She called over some attendants to help Sapphire and Ivan get settled. "Well, I'll come back to check on you guys later. Bye~" she said with a wave. "Now, to figure what's going on."
