20 minutes after Adriane, Shiny and Dreamer fell through the portal together. Meanwhile, Dreamer mysteriously got separated from his two companions trying his best to locate them... Both Adriane and Shiny found themselves inside a tall,shadow-filled castle made of stones and rocks unlike anything they had ever seen before! Everywhere they looked, there were monsters and spiderwebs intricately decorating the place as far as the eye could see. In truth, Adriane felt like Simba in the Lion King, "What about that shadowy place?" Simba asks, "That is beyond our borders, you must never go there Simba" Mufasa replies. She felt like she was in this so-called "shadowy place", a place that was beyond light, beyond Ravenswood, in a place far, far away. She felt drawn here, as if someone was calling her name. As they were walking, Adriane couldn't help but notice,black clouds almost invading everything around them, making it hard to see. Suddenly, Adriane's eyes shot open and she raced forward towards one chamber in another part of the castle, with Shiny following her, ready for anything. After a while though, she slowed down, and eventually stopped in her tracks. She fell to her knees, shriveled in fear. When Shiny caught up to her however, the first words she spoke were "I-I'm so sorry! I've failed you, I should've just....". "Adriane? Adriane what's wrong? Are you alright?" Shiny couldn't bare the fact of her friend being sad. Adriane silently motioned for Shiny to come closer. She couldn't help it! She wanted to conceal her hidden pain for so long but alas, secrets have a way of getting themselves out, no matter how hard you try. Shiny sat next to her, listening intently as Adriane began to tell her side of the story.
