CHAPTER 4: BLACK HOLLOW

As I looked around, I saw nothing. I tried to find some source of light. But soon as I lifted my right arm, torches lit by themselves. Confused about what just happened, I just stretched the back of the head."oh well, I can work with this"

I picked up the torch, swinging it around in search of some path to lead me out of this weird place.

After exploring a bit, I discovered so many tunnels that I couldn't search through all of them. There were so many tunnels. It looked like they were made by humans or maybe by oversized ants. So I used old children's counting rhymes for that. 

It seems a bit childish, but it's helpful sometimes. And So I started counting. I saw a flash of light from one of the tunnels and decided to go into that one. 

Usually, you don't go. The reason being, usually it is a bad sign, but Nah. You only live once. 

I was worse. 

It was that witch form before. She was in the middle of the tunnel. It looked like she was searching for something. Knowing that if I try to interact with her, it would be a death wish. As I hid behind a boulder, peeking from the side to see how will she act. At that moment, she glanced back, almost discovering me.

I thought to myself. 

'I am screwed.'

'What am I thinking? I shouldn't do this. I might get killed.'When I tried to peek again, she vanished, like she was never there.I wanted to check but, my scary ass was too afraid to do it.It took me some time to get enough courage and hope that I won't get my head blown off by that crazy witch.I walked past the spot where she was standing and felt a light breeze of wind.

"where is it coming from?"

I tried looking around for any clue. The only thing I saw was some kind of seal or magic circle.

I tried standing in it.

Woosh.

My body felt heavy. Like I had 500 pounds of steal on me.I closed my eyes and then slowly re-opening them. I couldn't describe what I saw. At this point, I was, convinced. It is another world, an unknown one.Tall glowy buildings, like a from the sci-fi movie.Some of them were pitch black color with windows like stars. Stores with staff, brooms? Are they magic items?There was only one road that leads only one way.It leads to the giant castle. "How is that possible? The castle is in perfect shape. I'm positive that I saw it in ruins"?

I decided I might go, explore the city. I went past many shops. Each one of them had different items, from amulets to staffs, books to many other things.

As I was walking the streets, I heard a familiar angry voice. "How many times do I need to tell you? You are not supposed to be here!"As I turned tried, to turn around. I was, knocked out by someone.

"Huh""What do we do with him?""I don't know. I will leave it to the Yuu to decide.""Fine, I won't do a thing!"

I tried to look up and open my eyes. I could see a thing I had a rag over my face.

"Where am I?"I asked with a scared voice.

"Don't worry, kid. You will soon find out."
