The Silver Shadow's Quest

Chapter 2- The Room

*The Silver Shadow woke up in the main control room, there were several dials,switches,buttons, and lights all indicating the various activities within the building.  There were several other staff members who wore headphones and were controlling the display before them according to the man in the black suit orders. 

"...and make sure to turn the flow to twenty notches."said the man he had met earlier. "What? Where am I? What happened?" questioned the Silver Shadow after pulling out the sharp object of his shoulder noticing his armor was no longer on his person. "Oh hello finally you are awake, it has been two hours since we talked. But for now it would be best if you just listen because soon all your questions will be answered." replied the man. "Okay but at least tell me your name... and why you brought me here, to a control room of all places."said the Silver Shadow. "Ah yes I forgot earlier, well my name is Zikrab and as for why you are here, let's just say this is no ordinary control room. Come." replied the man. 

He followed Zikrab to side of room with the bookcase that filled up the left side of the room. Zikrab pulled one of the books and there was a sound of machine cranking. Then two sections of history books on the bookshelf in front of them pulled apart revealing a cobblestone staircase. Small oil lamps light the spiraling cobblestone stairs upward as far as the eye can see. After a few minutes of ascending, the stairs flatten out to a small hallway with four rooms and next to each were metal labels stating what the room contained. At the end of the hallway, hidden away underneath dusty grey sheet of cloth was a ladder that lead to an attic. There was dust over the floors and doors, words on the labels were faded, and the wooden doors and floor were cracked as well as creaking from age. Zikrab and the Silver Shadow headed to a room labeled M....h...y, which was all that could be read of the faded label. 

"Welcome to the--"said Zikrab as he was cut of with a loud sound from the farthest side of the room. A huge dragon-like creature came out into the dim light source, which was on the ceiling and was flickering on and off. This creature was black and polished, it also blended into the black marble room. It opened it large scaled wings and roared at the Silver Shadow as he was now the only one standing in the room. 

"Oh my god. What happened to my weapons and armor? Ugh that Zikrab took everything, now I only have this black full-sleeved shirt,jeans,and leather boots." thought the Silver Shadow as he looked around. "And.... just great the door is locked as well. Just wonderful." he thought with sarcasm as he pulled on the door. The door was locked with no where to go or escape the room, the Silver Shadow came up with plan B.  Plan B was to confront the dragon-like creature and defeat it. The Silver Shadow looked at the dragon before finalizing plan B. The creature had deep bloody red gem that gently glowed and sat in the middle of its chest occupying seven inches. That's when something in the back of the Silver Shadow's mind snapped and he knew how to take down the creature once and for all. 

The dragon-like creature ran towards the Silver Shadow ready to kill. With each step it took towards the Silver Shadow the ground shook as the massive clawed feet came down one after the other. Its metal edges at the tips of its huge black wings screeched against the walls, and the creatures head merely scrapped the ceiling. The Silver Shadow was just about dodge the incoming dragon, when its sharp claws pierced through his legs as he jumped aside. The dragon grabbed the Silver Shadow, who was slowly getting up and leaving a blood pool, with both hands and brought him to the creature's mouth. Just as the creature opened its mouth that held long razor-sharp and yellow teeth with saliva dripping out, the Silver Shadow mustard all his strength and fired the strongest spell to destroy the creature at its glowing gem. After a few seconds of just standing there, the massive creature came crashing down. The Silver Shadow, still clutched in the claws of the dragon, braced himself for the impact of the fall. Just before hitting the ground, the Silver Shadow made a shield around him but unfortunately it didn't work. 

The creature hit the ground with a loud thud, making the ground tremble like an earthquake for one second. After that everything was so silent, except the Silver Shadow as he slowly breathed with pain as he broke a few rib bones. He used a wooden stick laying nearby to stand up. The dragon's big beautiful sky blue eyes looked at the Silver Shadow one last time and then closed slowly. After a few seconds the gently rumbling of the dragon's breathing stopped and the light in the gem faded away. The dragon laid perfectly still on the black marble floor which was spotted with blood near where the Silver Shadow stood. It looked so majestic and beautiful as its coat shone under the light coming from the ceiling.

There was a faint opening and closing door sounds of an unseen door. Voices approached and as the door to room six slowly began to open, the Silver Shadow looked at whom stood there and an angry expression came upon his face.
