The three of them walked back to the cage in the mine.
Dilaf lay on the ground calmly looking up at Lann.
This cage can't be opened from the inside, but it's not difficult from the outside. After all, the dwarves wanted to give Anahad a well-constructed prison to reassure him in dealing with a high vampire.
Lann conveyed the result of their discussion to Dilaf.
"If you agree to meet with Regis and swear to that ancient being after coming out, then we'll open the cage for you."
Lann sought confirmation from Dilaf.
"Do you agree?"
Regis tightened the strap of his satchel, looking nervously at the cage, and then his eyes shone slightly before he relaxed with a smile, turning to the young man.
"He agreed, Lann."
So Lann didn't hesitate any longer, 'clicking' open the latch of the cage.
The cage door, closed for over a hundred years, creaked open slowly.
Once the door was open, Ged, taking the place of the visibly unwell Regis, dragged Dilaf out from inside.
