The Diamond Of Darkhold

The two men who take Doon wear candle contraptions on their heads that light their path. Doon is glad Lina was not captured; he yells a coded message, increasing his volume on the words he wants Lina to hear so she knows to fetch help. 

Back at Harken Square, Doon sees that these men and two other family members have set up an outdoor living room adjacent to the fire. The older man introduces himself as Washton Trogg. He is a solid, rough man who insists Doon must be tied up. He introduces the younger man as his son Yorick; his daughter Kanza seems close to Doon’s age of 13. Minny, a quiet, nervous woman, is Trogg’s wife.

Doon sees a young, skinny boy with a twisted foot lurking in the shadows; Trogg says they took the boy when bandits murdered his parents, and he insinuates that they keep him as a worker. Trogg demands to know Doon’s origins and purpose, but Doon reveals nothing about Ember or Sparks. He claims he happened upon the crevice and the path and offers to leave immediately, but Trogg tells him he must stay permanently. Meanwhile, Lina thinks through her options and decides she must return to Sparks alone.
