There was something down there, in the crypt. Matty wasn't anything like his brother, or the other guys in the village, as much as it annoyed his father. He couldn't help it — he hated the idea of bulking up and learning to fight. Why'd he want to do that when he could spend time with Colette, the older woman that would tell all kinds of stories about his mother? Some secrets were never meant to be shared. The Truth of his mother, the Truth of the village itself. There's something dangerous in the deepest depths, and... in the end, Matty might have to learn to fight anyway.
