Chapter.3-The escape

(Not my characters and not my pictures)

He ran as fast as he could several meters, he didn't care where but he wanted to leave this terrible place and then he stood there, two large doors spread in front of him, he looked briefly insecurely around but he didn't hesitate long, he opened the two heavy doors with full force and opened them.

He looked into a huge room with falling different staircases, various insects flew around everywhere and animals he had never seen before, but now there was no time to explore all this, he still had to leave here. Stayne had no time to think and ran up the nearest stairs, he ran and ran and it seemed like a half an eternity to him that there would be no end to the steps he ran up, but then he stopped.

He stopped in front of a wall, it was a dead end. Stayne stopped and breathed hard, the race was exhausting enough for him and for his wounds he have gotten over the years cause of iracebeth. They feel painful and it felt like they were starting to bleed again at any time. He breathed hard and looked around, was that really the end of all the steps? That can't be true because if he goes back now, it could mean the end for him and he have not a second change anymore, this is his only one.

Stayne had to sit down, he couldn't do it anymore, and he almost threatened to tip over. He tried to stay there and not tip it over, but it was difficult for him. Suddenly he heard a ticking and scared up. He looked right into the wall that stopped him, it had to come from there. He rered up with all his might and ran towards the wall. What he hadn't noticed at first, the wall was covered with ivy and leaves. The closer he got, it got louder. He took his hand and pushed the ivy to his side. A stationary clock fell into his eyes. The numeric sheet was unusually large and glowed in a powerful blue.

He looked behind him one last time and let go of the ivy and approached the clock. He took a closer look at the clock and carefully opened the door of the stationary clock. Normally, there should be a wall behind the Great Pendulum, but it was different with this clock. Behind the pendulum, a large dark corridor spread out with a small bright light at the whole end.

A slight goosebumps spread over his entire body and a certain kind of fear was written in his face, but he knew he was supposed to set his way into this magical clock because he no longer had another way out. He had absolutely no idea where this path led him, but he wanted to escape this terrible place. He swallowed and continued his steps into the dark corridor of the stationary clock. He closed the door behind him and wiped the pendulum, now he had left this terrible place and followed the dark path in the hope that an exit would turn out.

He walked through the dark corridor of the stationary clock for several minutes and it became colder and colder with each step, but at the same time it got brighter. The light that came to meet him became brighter and brighter and after a few minutes he had reached the end. The light had turned into a dark red and it spread on a heart-shaped gate. In the middle of the gate, two large doors were found again and without thinking about it, stayne opened them. The red light disappeared and the interior of a pouring large castle fell into his eye, which shine in a powerful blue color like the numeric sheet of the stationary clock.

He looked around and breathed out. He had found a way out and could escape iracebeth and his death only he didn't know where he was. He looked around and thought about where his way could lead him and whether he could find someone here who could help him until something falls into his eye from a distance.............
