Aron's POV.

I walked into the vortex with Kolt in my arms and as soon as my foot was a step in I felt the gravity give away, I held Kolt firmly against my chest even though I was floating in the air. A gush of wind blew strongly against my face, making it hard for me to stay upright but I managed to keep my head and feet in the right places. Soon the void inside the vortex started to thicken, making it harder to breathe as I was struggling to keep Kolt in my arms.

Suddenly everything cleared and disappeared as I wasn't in the vortex anymore but in a death smelling pit of corpses as a figure in black stole their souls, ripping it from their chests. The blood curling scream that was accompanied by the soul snatching made me want to curl up in a corner and wallow in self pity, but I knew I couldn't, not with Kolt's life on the line and my kingdom in jeopardy of an attack of the Phoenix's. I knew that if I didn't return soon, my kingdom would be in danger and I would not allow that to happen, ever.

I walked further into the pit of corpses and stepped over them, making my way to the door on the other side.

"What are you doing here, king Aron?" The voice in the black cloak asked me.

I was shocked that it knew me and that it could talk. I was even more surprised when I saw it/him turn and face me. He was gorgeous, black hair, ice blue eyes, perfect lips. Even though there was a light scar on his cheek he was still beautiful in every way.

"My best friend was murdered and I want his soul back so that he can live his life, not have it cut down so short without even having a chance to truly live his own life for the first time. I want him back." I told him.

He smiled lightly and it seemed like he hasn't smiled in a while. It almost looked like a grimace, but I could see the smile in eyes as he looked at me, almost like he was happy I would say something like that.

"Then go ahead, go through the door and go find him." He said and made a sweeping gesture with his arm for me to pass. I walked pass him and went to the door, completely unaware that Kolt was still in my arms. I held him in my one arm, while I went to open the door. As my hand touched it I snatched it back and looked at my hand while it burned. I looked back at the guy who shook his head at me.

"Sacrifices need to be made. This is simply one of many." He said. I nodded and looked back at the door.

Taking a deep breathe I put my hand back on the door handle and flinched as the heat burned my flesh. I gripped it tighter and opened it, leading me into another room...

I wonder how many challenges there's gonna be for me to get Kolt back.

This place was filled with hooded figures walking around like zombies. I looked around and saw the next door I had to go through and as I walked quietly towards it I looked around to see if I've been noticed and sighed in relief when I was safe. But I spoke to soon.

As soon as I touched the door, all the figures in the room snapped up their heads and looked at me, and before I could even comprehend what was happening they charged at me. I took a split second to look at Kolt and to put him next to the door so that I would find him after this. With that I charged after them. My fighting instincts kicked in and I started kicking, hitting, jumping and everything, but as I looked back I saw that they didn't even have a scratch on them. I turned around and found them charging me, again.

"Stop!" I bellowed at them and was shocked they actually did stop.

"What do you want?" They voiced, together as a unit.

"I'm here to get the soul back. Kolt's soul, I am not leaving until I have it." I said.

"What would you give to pass through the door?" They said again.

"What do you want?"

"We want..."
