mattresses trump food emergencies

The Warlord walked beside his son, with the bear and cart behind him. They made it most of the way without a hitch. Now, he walked in silence as Azure examined the mountainside, searching for the entrance he must have used with Hanako.

When Azure started to backtrack, he motioned for the bear to wait, giving her a break as Azure continued his search. After a while, the hidden door was discovered, and Sirius could see why it had been so difficult. Grabbing ropes from the cart, he slung them over his shoulder. “Lead the way. If you want this mattress, we will have to do the pulling until we are out the bunker door.”
