M. havenβt you heard the stories ?
the grounds beneath elliot manor are nothing but endless passages , passages that were meant to confuse - said that this family drew inspiration from the winchester house , though the tunnels that lay ore than forty feet under rival anything that the batman has seen. a light guides the pair , and as john's voice reverberates through old passages , the batman looks over his shoulder.

' oh john don't tell me you've been digging into the lore of this family ... ' shades of humor and something else that hides beneath tone evident as he continues , ' haven't you been to hell and back ? '
they're here because it's the next step , this family had a hold on gotham that rivaled the waynes - two sons bruce and thomas borne into a world that resembled royalty. though ? nothing was ever as it seemed and the pretty facade of looming mansions and beautiful people only masked the true horrors. there were demons that crawled into the very walls of the elliot household.
the kind of demons that one never shakes , and changes one ever so. perhaps bruce and thomas were meant to fall out , thomas challenging bruce as he became envious of bruce's orphan existence. it seemed thomas' parents thrived on cruelness and the kind of abuse that would leave its mark for years.
' they say he left something down here before he murdered his mother ... ' the batman begins , ' you'll find that every founding family is steeped in misery ' they come to an impasse , a door with three levers. ' curses they say from the land ' the batman then stops , and pulls out an old journal. ' dabbled in some black magik ... ' passes said journal to john as he clears throat , ' aleister crowley ... thomas' father wrote about him endlessly - though , an english occultist ... worshiped by rockstars ? ' the batman then looks at the door , ' read out that pattern will you ... am i pushing the lever five times up and bringing it sideways or is it five times left and down three times ? '
