Wind swirled around us, lifting us in mid-air. Suddenly there was a flash of light, the wind died. I opened my eyes, all i could see was a white mosaic wall in front of me. I turned around and saw Taron and Caele standing behind me, their hair as frizzy as a bird’s nest. Next to them was a dirty sink and a toilet, toothpaste congealed on the counters,( Don’t ask me why the toothpaste was there...) mildew was growing around grotty faucets, peeling vinyl flooring was trapped blackened dirt.

“This place is...gross.” Caele said pinching her nose.
“Are you sure we’re at the right place?”

“Well...this is really not what i’ve expected...but...at least we’re alive.” I muttered.
“Let’s go out and have a look.”

I slowly pushed the bathroom door open and i peeped through the crack.
Everything seemed to look very normal, people were all talking with british accents and walking around carrying suitcases and backpacks. I jumped as i heard the sound of trains,  there’s only one thing that came up to my mind: We’re at the right place. 
“Guys, i think we’re at the right place.” I said.

“Phew...glad to hear that.” Taron said.“I forgot to tell you that i’ve got some healing potion...” He sighed. “I should have used it earlier...but i’m too busy fighting. Here, have some.” He said handing me a bottle of purplish liquid. The three of us took a sip (Sharing is caring :) and my legs felt much better after that.

“Thanks.” I said

“Now, we should get out! I can’t stand it anymore! ”Caele said gagging. 

The three of us pushed the bathroom door open and i took a deep breath.

“Welcome to London.” I said.
“First, we have to find the station,then we will find the secret layer.”

“But...which station are we at now?” Caele asked looking confused.

“Let’s see...” I said walking around looking for signs. Caele and Taron followed behind me.
“Aha! There it is!” Caele said pointing at one of the signs beside the platform.

“Waterloo Station.” I read.

“Hey Guys! Look!” Taron said pointing at a television on the wall.
The TV was reporting news live and there’s a flaming train on the screen.
People were running around screaming, there was a flash of light and some people turned into white-transparent in colour. We watched with shock.

“Those are gambas! Milu. It’s where the secret layer is. He is changing people into gambas.

“Where is that?” Caele asked.

“Oxford Circus station.” I replied.
“We have to ride four stations to get there. We’ve got to find the spell book in order to stop him and we have to be quick. ”
