The sun was just starting to set when Ashe and I approached The Foundry. I looked around for Tybalt, but didn't see him. Instead, my attention locked onto the man standing beside the door to the club. I'd call him a bouncer, but it didn't seem like he was actually controlling the crowds. Instead, people who walked up to him tended to look into his face, then turn away. Something about him struck me as familiar, and it took a few seconds for me to realize he was one of the men who attacked us in the clothing store. I patted Ashe's leg beside me, and nodded in the direction of the man. We walked up to him, and the man smirked at me as he opened the door beside him. I paused long enough to look into his face. Empty black eyes stared back at me. His irises were dark, with nothing to differentiate between them and his pupil. The effect was chilling, and I instantly knew this man wasn't human. I doubted he ever had been.

Ashe and I walked into the club, and the door slammed behind us. It felt final.

“I think they knew we were coming,” I said.

The club looked exactly like any number of clubs I'd visited when I was younger. It could have been on virtually any street of New York City. Loud music throbbed from speakers positioned in the corners, and bright, flashing lights pulsed around us. Despite having watched the guard intimidate nearly everyone into leaving, the dance floor was full of people. I wondered if there was another entrance we hadn't seen, or if these people had come earlier in the day.

“How would they know?” Ashe asked.

I looked across the club and noticed a solid black door. The vibrant lights didn't break through the shadows shrouding the door, or the man standing guard beside it.

“I don't know,” I said. “But I'm going to find out.”

I strode directly to the door and stared down the guard.

“Let me in,” I demanded.

“You will have to wait to be summoned,” the guard said.

“What?” I asked. “What are you talking about?”

“The Dragon will not see you until it's ready.”

Ashe looked at me curiously as I stalked back toward her.

“What happened?” she asked.

“You know that manual I keep asking you for? I need to put it in an order for a glossary as well.”

“What did he say to you?”

“He refused to let me inside, and said I was going to have to wait until the Dragon summoned me.”

“The Dragon?” Ashe asked.

“I take it you aren't familiar?”

She shook her head.

“If that ends up in your glossary, let me borrow it.”

“No problem.” I sighed and looked around. “I still don't see Ty. What are we supposed to do now?”

“We wait.”

I gestured toward the bar.

“After you,” I said.

Ashe and I climbed up onto bar stools, which were much more comfortable than the ones at Solomon's Fang. The bartender glanced our way, but didn't approach us. I looked at the menu, curious to see what an Underworld club served.
