(a/n: i promised that i would get this out, so here it is! it's short, though. man writers block has kicked my ass)

Bria gasps, clasping her hands together as her eyes shine. "Okay, Angmar, you're on lookout duty- Angmaaar," she singsongs.

"Huh?" he reluctantly tears his eyes away from the butterfly he had previously been chasing.

"I said you're on lookout duty. And if I catch you playing with any more bugs, I'll make you eat them! Mmkay?" she smiles sweetly at him.

Angmar whimpers.

"I believe in yooou!" she calls, turning away to face the gate.

Matt, Bria, Gavin and I enter the graveyard. "I can't believe we found it," says Matt in awe. A Galdorstone glimmers in the distance, and Bria scales the statue holding it to snatch it up. In the process, the statue's carefully carved hands fall into dust. "Oh. Whoops," she snorts.

I watch the others wreak havoc, but something about this doesn't feel right to me. It feels like the others are invading. Like they don't belong. I walk over to a statue and clear away the leaves covering its embedded plate.

"Mari. The Phantom Bringer," it reads. "Hm," I mutter. I run to another statue and do the same.

"Aleth. The Vision Creator."

"Khari. The Mirage Maker."

"But these titles- they're for-" I stammer. I gasp. "Oh, no."

"Stop!" I shout to the others. "These aren't ruins. This place.. it's an illusionist graveyard!"
