In a tower in the middle of the ocean, a faint black figure stood silently.
The most valued object in the entire world of Ailetes hovered in dim black light above his head. He glanced upward into the glass cube, crystals and shining colors glancing off his midnight blue cloak. Right as he was about to resume his vigil, he started. The shadows within the cube became solid, only confirming his worst fears. Jayex secretly began panicking underneath his cloak. His hands clenched, and he tried to keep still. The wind picked up. The walls shook and the floor vibrated ominously.
The glass of the door fluxed inward as if taking a breath. It exploded into sharp, dangerous shards. Jayex raised a gloved palm to touch a cut upon his cheek. The night was silent. The only sound was of boots on concrete. Jayex turned around to see a figure in a slick black cloak. Silence reigned like the darkness of night. The figure slowly lifted his hand and spat out a spell. Jayex was thrown against the wall with a sickening crack. He winced, his jaw almost thrown out of place. Jayex whipped around, lashing out his leg. The other man stumbled but kept his balance, and whispered a spell that tripped Jayex. He smirked. Jayex rounded back up and drew his glass-obsidian sword from its sheath. He chuckled darkly.
"Wow, Jayex, you've gotten slow. Tisk tisk." Jayex slashed out his sword before the man could move. Dark droplets fell unto the floor. The man hissed and jumped over Jayex, shoving him by the shoulder into the ground. He stopped and leaned towards his ear. He paused. "Lisos ciuna mione de vent." The spell's impact sent Jayex skittering towards the wall. Wind clawed at his throat.
"S'arrette le fait du vent lasise," He managed to choke out. He crumpled to the ground, gasping for air. By then Zainev had reached the cube. A sickening sound echoed around the room. Jayex felt it. He felt the air around the world cube compress, and the pressure increase.
It fractured.
The night rose over his mind, making all go despondent. He fell, and fell....
Into the oncoming storm.
