After agreeing on the known places that whatever breach in security they were looking for could not have gotten to, the two demons began to move slowly from the center of the room, only to stop when the red-winged one brought up another concern of his. "You know that there's another rumor going around regarding the disappearance, don't you? Apparently, it's been spreading around in some of the groups assigned to special tasks." The other demon groaned. "Yeah, some of the veterans have caught wind of it as well. One of them was theorizing that it has something to do with 'the new awakening', or something crazy. They ought to know that story's a myth, nothing like that can be done even with the ancient magicks."

The two were soon interrupted by a noise from out in the hall, much like someone pounding against one of the doors. "Someone doesn't know about the door situation, it sounds like. Probably one of the captains sending a messenger from outside." 

The red-winged demon sighed, starting back toward the door the had entered before. "Must have gotten cut off by a couple of them. That, or they're too new to know any of the alternate routes. When this is over, we're going to have to have a serious talk about making sure people who know the routes are used instead. There's no excuse for this by now." 

His companion followed a short ways behind, but stopped before reaching the doorway, looking around suddenly. "Something's off here..." 

He didn't have too long to figure out exactly what was wrong, however, as he was called back to the hallway by his companion. "They found one of them! We need to make sure it's properly dealt with." Somewhat dissatisfied, the blue-winged demon left the room, assuring those outside that he was on his way.
