The Moonlings: The Ancient Fortress

Epilogue

Willa had been trying for months to get through to Shadow. She had tried every converting and darkness banishing spell she knew but had no avail. She finally decided that the only way to fix this was by finding out what caused it in the first place. Willa was heading back to the cave. She used the teleporter to get as close as she could, and started walking. She had visited that place many times scene that one cursed day, but had never gone in until now. She ducked her head into the cave and, with fear turning in her stomach, followed the winding tunnel farther and farther in. Sitting in the very same cave, a large red and black dragon sat. He was hovering over a large, solid black crystal. His head swiveled around as Willa entered the room. Willa shrieked and tried to run, but she wasn't fast enough. The great dragon caught her in his talons and held her face near the crystal. She could feel the evil power coursing through her and tried to fight it but it was too strong. "Good, little one! Feel the power! Let it flow through you! There is no fighting it! Submit to it! Submit to me!!!!" Willa crumpled up, shivering. Skya sat up with a jolt. She was terrified. "It's just a dream. It's just a dream," she muttered to herself as she crawled back into her nest and settled down again. "It's just a dream," she muttered again. Deep down, she knew it wasn't. She knew she might never see Willa again. She knew this was the start of something bigger than her. Bigger, maybe, than the entire world. As she fell asleep again, a chill settled in her heart. "it's just a dream." she muttered one last time before she fell asleep.
