Although Loretta is quick to scare, the catacombs that laid before her was just as comfortably familiar as the city above. Yet she doesn't frequent as much as she'd like, she made sure to keep it on a monthly basis to visit her unmarked grave. She carried with her several white lilies to make up for the time since she last visited. Perhaps she would bring roses next time? The clacking of steps reverberated off the cavernous walls echoing throughout the maze-like catacombs. At some point, Loretta noticed there was something foul in the air. A foul stench of rot. Unable to continue without covering her nose, Loretta hurried along the dark hall. Her heart pounded against her rib cage ringing loudly in her ears. She was afraid of what this smell meant. Just as she entered the open area, Loretta nearly tripped over a fallen body. "I'm so sorr-!" At first she thought she had disturbed someone from a peaceful rest as those without homes usually made their lodgings somewhere within the catacombs. "oh. mY. GODS!!" A scream of terror rang loudly throughout labyrinth of halls that just about anyone could hear from the surface. The white lilies she once held fell beside the bloodied rose. It was the same man she had seen at the amphitheater except he now had a gaping hole in his chest as if someone literally ripped his heart out.. She couldn't recall a name for the life of her. Regardless, this man had spent more than one night in the catacombs and the degrading body showed it. She needed to find someone, anyone, to tell them of this incident. And so she ran. She ran to the surface as fast she could, ran as hard as she could muster to find the nearest guard. The people needed to know of the dangers that laid beneath their floors.
