We are thrown out and onto hard ground. I glance around, its so dark! I can barely see more then 20 feet ahead of me. Thomas stands besides me instantly surveying the surroundings. I grab the map from his hand and glance at it. Gratefully it has a red light showing exactly where we are. I start walking in the general direction of the tree. Thomas follows me and we continue on in silence. After a few minutes Thomas decides to speak up.
"I apologize for kissing you" He mumbles. We walk on for a bit more. "You don't have to be such a jerk about it! I just really liked you!" He yells.
"I like you too" I reply, "but its just this quest thing." I mutter.
"Ok. I understand" he looks ahead then reaches for my hand but I pull away. He stares at the ground and continues on into the darkness. Following I create a small ball of light to illuminate the realm more. "No!" Thomas exclaims and hits my hand, putting out the light.
"What was that for!" I yell.
"The cysgod are attracted to light. In this dark world light can be seen from miles around." He instructs. Suddenly a ear piercing scream trembles throughout the world. Instantly my eyes whip around the darkness. "There here! Thomas screeches as they emerge from the darkness and surrounds us.
"What are we going to do!" I yelp and Thomas looks at me.
"Really? Fight them" he yells and throws out his hand. A trail of fire shoots and hits a shadow. It hisses as its body disintegrates. I gather myself and stomp on the ground, trails of light streak across the ground heading towards each of the shadows. The screech and hop backwards but the light follows them. Within seconds they are gone, dissolved back into the darkness they came from. I sigh with relief.
"That was easy" I mutter, continuing on. Within seconds we finally spot a building. Its walls grow high into the sky. I glance around its base, people. Not shadows scatter around it. I duck behind a bolder and creep closer. Soon we reach the base, staying in the shadows we creep towards the gate. Two guards stand there. I create a ball of light and shoot it across them into the distance. The spot it and shoot off after it. Thomas and I enter the gates. We creep through the empty dark halls till we come to a large throne room. Instantly strings of magic wrap around us.
