Through Ao-Ki's Eyes:

As I fell into the Darkor, darkness enveloped me and I fainted. When I woke up I was in the middle of the Voidus Fortress. Around me stood Gredd, Xathor, Cratus and Cryptus, and behind them stood shadow soldiers and Lord Voidus sat on the throne. They looked at me and laughed ominously. I got up and saw that they were about to attack.

Xathor: That's for attacking us!

He charged up the attack and fired at me. I fell but I knew the others would shoot so I got up quickly.

Gredd: And that's because we lost the battle to those stupid Gormians because of you.

He also shot but I didn't fall, Gredd is probably the weakest of them all. I've barely made shields, probably because I'm surrounded by all Darkan energy.

Cryptus: And that's for...

Cratus: For nothing just for fun!

And they both shot at me and my shield broke.

Gredd, Xathor, Cratus, Cryptus: And for everything you've done to us!

They all focused their dark energy and fired. It pushed me to the door. I slammed my back against the door of the Darkor Fortress and fell to my knees. Slowly they started to approach me but Voidus suddenly screamed and they got scared.

Void: Enough!

Gredd, Xathor, Cratus, Cryptus: (horror)!

Voidus: We need her in one piece.

He got up from the throne, pulled me with his power and brought me back to the center. The Dark Knights (Gredd, Xathor, Cratus, Cryptus) quickly approached me, took my hands behind my back and handcuffed me with Zemon stone. This stone comes from Darkor, only the Darkans can mine it, it consumed the power of the light I use so the longer I have it the weaker I will be. I sat on my heels and tried to free myself even though I knew I couldn't.

Voidus: Dark Knights and shadow soldiers, come out for a while.

Upon hearing this, they immediately left. It's just me and Voidus left. As he started talking, he walked around me. I stopped fidgeting and listened to him.

Voidus: As you well know, Gorm was not what it used to be, it was one, it was Gaia. Gaia created all Gorm, nature, Gormians and the elements, which they were to use with respect and responsibility. She saw that everything was fine, and unfortunately she was already very weak and exhausted. She knew her end was near, and so she created the Heart of Gorm. The most powerful artifact in the world. With what little strength she had left, she entered it and hid herself in the middle of Gorm so that all the elements could have access to it. But when Gaia fell into eternal sleep, all the tribes fought for the Heart of Gaia. Eventually, they divided Gorm and created five kingdoms: Fire, Stone, Ice, Wind, and Light. The Kingdom of Light was supposed to guard the Heart. But as you know the realm of Light had no guardians. Their kingdom consisted only of nature. When all the tribes rushed to attack, nature was too weak to resist such an attack. And at the last moment came An-Yu, the most powerful goddess of light, who absorbed the Heart of Gaia. Thanks to her, all tribes stopped fighting, and those who wanted peace settled in Gorm Center (where season 2 began, I call it that), and those who hated other tribes or just wanted to stay in their kingdoms still shared a border. But as we well know, An-Yu also died and the question is this. Where is the Heart of Gorm hidden?

I knew the story perfectly well. And I also knew where the Heart of Gorm was. But I couldn't tell him. He would be the most powerful in the entire world!

Ao-Ki: I will never tell you in my life!

It was obvious he was annoyed. He clenched his hand into a fist, and suddenly dark vines appeared and began to wrap around me. When Voidus squeezed my hand even more, the vines squeezed me very tightly. I couldn't get air. I had a lot of pain in my chest.

Voidus: Then I will repeat the question. Where is Gaia's Heart?!

He didn't say it calmly, he shouted and very not calmly.

Ao-Ki: And I will repeat the same thing. I will never tell you in my life! You can torture me all you want, I'll never tell you!

It was obvious he was really pissed off. Good because I wanted to get on his nerves! He shot a strong beam of darkness at me, which pushed me back a bit. He pulled me to the center again, but I was the one who started talking.

Ao-Ki: I will guard the Heart and Gorm. I won't let you go back to Gorm!

Voidus: Come here.

The Dark Knights and shadow soldiers are back. The Dark Knights have lined up around me. And Voidus began to laugh his sinister laugh.

Voidus: Ha Ha Ha! I wonder how you're going to keep us here when we've got you covered!

Everyone started laughing. But I focused my energy and freed myself from that horrible stone. Without thinking, I started attacking them. I started with the shadow soldiers, easily defeated them. It was harder to defeat the Dark Knights because I used some of my energy on the soldiers. They all attacked very hard.

Voidus: You think you can beat us! You are on our territory, where we are strongest. The light here is powerless. The air here is different, polluted, only the Darkans can survive here. Elemental Gormians could last about 2 eons (2 years) here, but light won't last a month. you will die here!

I was terrified. True, the air was very polluted, it was hard to breathe, but I can't lose. My friends are counting on me! They kept shooting. They were outnumbered, each attacking harder and harder. I was already tired, shabby, and I missed the light. Finally, when they noticed my helplessness, they began to laugh ominously.

Voidus: Approach, Dark Knights.

They approached the Voidus. They uttered some strange words, and from their scepters and Gredd's hands they created balls of energy. Suddenly they pointed their lances and hands at me. A ball of energy hit me. I was pushed against the fortress door. I was very hurt! I can't remember the last time I felt pain like this, except when I had to watch the Herolds fight me. That was awful! I fell behind the Fortress of Darkness, I was about 20 meters from it. 20 meters from me stood... Herolds! I couldn't believe what I saw! I thought they were figments of my mind, but no, they were real Herolds! I saw that they were in a shield, so I shot with the last of my strength and the shield fell apart.

Heralds: Ao-Ki!

I wanted to get up, but I was very weak. And from the other side came the Darkans. The Heralds were running towards me and the Lords seemed to have woken up from a terrible nightmare. When they woke up, they overtook Herolds and fought Voidus. The Herolds were about to grab my hand, and at the last moment Voidus created shadow vines again. They grabbed my leg and dragged me towards the Dark Knights. They grabbed my hands and put the Zemon Stone back on. They knew that I was weaker, and therefore they were not afraid that I would break free from these handcuffs again. The Lords didn't stand a chance against Voidus. They were on his turf, where he is at his strongest, and no one can defeat him here. The heralds concentrated the best energy they could, but it still wasn't enough. With the Lords exhausted, Voidus approached the Herolds.

Voidus: You think you can defeat me! You are in my territory, no one can defeat me here!

He created some energy and aimed at the Herolds. I thought he was going to attack them, so I reacted quickly.

Ao-Ki: Voidus, leave them alone! This is between us! Leave them alone!

Void: Okay. But he'll send them back to Gorm first, okay. (evil laugh)

Concluding with his evil laugh, he sent the Herolds back to Gorm. Voidus turned to me and saw that he was trying to get out of those unfortunate handcuffs. He reacted quickly and took them off anyway, but he pulled out about three hoops and threw them in front of me. They stayed in the air and Voidus began to say strange words. Suddenly, the hoops expanded and covered my arms and legs. One intertwined my legs and the other two extended my arms and each flew on one. They were indestructible hoops, not like the Zemon stone, they were a thousand times stronger. They lifted me up and carried me to the Voidus Fortress. I was tired and scratchy from that fight, so I passed out. But I kept thinking about the Herolds.

Whoever watched "Trollhunters, Titans Awakens" probably remembers how Narii was kidnapped and had such hoops on her hands, just like Ao-Ki had in my story.
