Lorena's POV:

I feel myself fall forward and on my hands and knees. I look up to see red, lava and fire everywhere.

'This place looks scary...'

I see some weird pig skeletons but they don't seem to harm me.

'Don't bother them and they won't bother me.'

I walk forward and notice a dark red castle in front of me but the problem is that I'm on a cliff and the cattle entrance is below. I start digging a stairway down to the castle and after a few minutes I finally reach the bottom. I make my way towards the bridge that leads up the castle and take in my surroundings. I see two men with red armor and gold swords standing there. I go up to them hoping they'd help me but when I start getting closer that draw their swords and run towards me. I draw my sword and kill them before they have the chance to hurt me. I look up in front of me and see a gold flying monster with multiple octopus like legs and red eyes. It spots me and starts flying towards me. I start attacking it dodging it's legs trying to hit me. After striking him a few times he finally falls.

'This is hard...'

I notice a set of stairs on my right and start making my way up. There's a room halfway up the stairs with 2 more men and they start coming to attack me. After finishing them off I continue up the stairs. I see a room with Kiva behind iron bars and 2 purple eyes with purple mist floating around it.

'What on earth is that!?'

It sees me and speaks.

???: "My reign will spread into the world. Man shall know no leader as great as I. No hope for the future will come. I will make sure of that."

The weird monster suddenly disappears. After a few seconds of being shocked I remember Kiva. I run towards her. I get out my pickaxe and break the iron bars. Kiva turns to me scared.

Kiva: "Are you... are you one of them...?

Wait, you smell like... Lowell."

"I'm not one of them, I'm here to save you."

Kiva: "THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME!

I just want to go home, this place is so scary..."

"Don't worry, I'm taking you home - are you hurt?"

Kiva: "I'm okay, the monsters were trying to use me as a sacrifice to make that scary shadow stringer but this masked man told them off...

He looked different..."

"Sacrifice? Masked man?... wait... THE LORD! Where is he?"

Kiva: "The Lord! He was taken by the masked man, he was so brave and tried to help me out of here but he was captured too... when the masked man came and saw he was here he said something about "not having to kidnap him himself", knocked him out and took the Lord with him...

The masked man looked so nice at first... but he was scary."

"What... this is just... first, let's get you home safe."

Kiva: "Please... it's so hot here and I'm thirsty and scared...

Thank you again, lady."

I nod my head and inform her that I'm going to put her in my Lasso to take her back. She nods and I put her in my Lasso. I carefully make my way out of the room and down the stairs. Now that there are no guards I make a run for it but suddenly there's an explosion next to me. I look at it and then where it came from and notice a giant white monster with red eyes throwing balls of fire out of its mouth. I take my sword out trying to find a way to attack it. It throws one at me and I dodge it. I was trying to balance myself when I notice another one coming at me so I cover my face with my sword and feel the ball of fire bounce of my sword and towards the monster but it dodged it. Now that I know how to attack it I aim the next one towards it and hit it making it fall into the lava. I run towards and up the stairs as I see the portal come into view. Then I notice a man running towards the portal too and it looks like...

"Huh... Zenix? What are you doing here! We thought you disappeared I — wait a minute... what do you have in your hand? I — Zenix wait! Where are you going? Wait come back here!"

I see him run into the portal and I follow him shortly after closing my eyes.
