The sky's hue slowly darkened as the sun set; the burning bright star lowers just above the horizon; the end of another autumn day, and the dawn of the two moons. A stream of dark clouds is highlighted by the colourful hues from the sun itself, under the sheet of clouds sits the finished product of a plan in progress; Cassie's plot to retain the portal key for herself.

The now finished mansion sits on top of the dampish marshlands below, beautifully created and crafted with stone and wooden planks. Cassie looks over the bog below on her second-floor window, counting the amount of mobs wandering in the swamp. She walks over to her massive canopy bed and jumps in, with Winslow and his other calico cats in the other adjacent room.

"Winslow, do you like your new house?", she calls out. "You have a scratching post room and even a tunnel to other floors of the house! Your master worked so hard on your kitty house.".

Cassie stretches and shakes on the cotton covers, feeling their softness. "...this is the life...", she slowly utters, her body stops moving and she drifts into slumber.

"...I just..." "...mmm..."

"...very well Cassie Rose, you have done well..."

"What the...what happened!? Where am I?"

"Do not fear, my friend...for I am here..."

"Am I still lying down!? I don't have my glasses on!"

"You do not need to see, only hear..."

"But where am I!?"

Suddenly a blast of light brightens up the area around her; a mystical cave with wooden support beams and barricades all around, she then hears the amidant sounds of water dripping, and the aroma of rotten wood; a familiar setting she has been in previously. She sees all of this clearly despite the fact she is blind as a bat without her glasses, Cassie gets up and looks around, confused and anxious, a steady beat of footsteps approach behind her.

"Who's there!", she panically questions as she turns around to see no one.

"Cassie, remember me?", a voice rings out from above.

"...you...who are you Mr Inside-My-Mind?"

"Cassie, do you not recall? Remember this lowly place?"

A sudden barge of slurps and crawls rages on the other side of the wall beside Cassie, block by block the wall crumbles, with a colony of spiders and cave spiders creeping through the breached walls. They swiftly storm the ground right in front of her, Cassie steadily backs off as the angered group of beasts holds her off into the corner.

"MAKE IT STOP!!!", she demands. "MAKE IT STOP!!!".

The brigade of cave dwellers prepare for their strike, a blink of an eye from Cassie, however, erases them from thin air, as well as the holes in the wall.

"Now did that refreshed your mind?", the voice asks

"...yes...", Cassie whimpers huddled in a ball.
