We all see things in our own way. It makes us unique, it helps us build character, others times it harms us and those around us. This is a story about a young adult's mental troubles as he is stuck in his life not knowing what he wants to do with...
Rongst enters the Sun Chamber and sees the shadowy woman damaging the crystals. She got two of them already. There are still two star-shaped ones left and if those go out then the sun-shaped Faith Crystal is done for. The room is filled with scriptures and wall murals of the Sun and the Hollow Shadow. Both always facing each other in opposition always drawn fighting or in confrontation. The roof cannot be seen but there are these large rectangular cages with lots of wood in them. There are some pillars with sun-like rays of stone sticking out of them on a path to the middle of the room. At the center of the room are the Faith Crystals and directly ahead of them is the Door of the Fallen. That is where the Hollow Shadow is sealed. The only decently-lit part of the room is the center where the Faith Crystals are. The shadowy woman turns to Rongst and speaks in a distorted voice as he approaches.

"Why did you come here?" Cold winds begin to blow past Rongst.
"To stop you from freeing the Hollow Shadow. Who are you?" He points his staff at her from a distance.
"I am Helis-sf a fragment of the Hollow Shadow that got free when one of the crystals were powered off." She continues to encumber the third Faith Crystal with dark energy.
"And you won't stop powering down the other crystals will you?"
"No, I can't? This is what I was made for y'know? I will use anyone and anything at my disposal."
"Then I will stop you. For the sake of the people of Pholit and Arma." He gets closer to her with his staff to reveal her features. Shadows cover a human head of a woman corpse with no eye sockets. There is a slender and sleek body of a woman but it's super pale and surrounded by shadows.
"All on your own? You can try."
"I'll show you that I can do it on my own. I don't need any help." The raw sinister presence of Helis-sf is amplified at that moment. She then raised her left arm and points it at Rongst. The room grew colder and darker.
The door he entered from began to close. Then she let out a loud piercing scream followed by silence. Rongst listened and began to hear sounds of limbs falling and lots of them. He immediately runs back and finds a pillar to hide behind. As he peers from behind the pillar he sees an abundance of Nefier. They are all flying around Helis-sf creating this barrier of monstrosities.
"Need help sometimes? I can see why you would need it. Not me I didn't need your help back then nor will I need it now!" Helis-sf screamed again, the Nefier began to move faster, the room grew darker and colder.
He then dips his wooden stick in the oil canister and quickly strikes some flint and steel. A flame was ignited. With his torch and staff in hand, he ran at Helis-sf. With the lit torch, he throws it to a farther corner of the chamber and the Nefier all fly towards the torch leaving her unattended. He puts his staff forward and powers it up fully with a bright light. Helis-sf seems unphased and immediately raises her other arm at him. And the swarm of Nefier come back and begin to attack Rongst. The Faith Crystal she has been working on goes dim and she moves on to the last one. Rongst is now caught in a maelstrom of darkness and limbs striking him at all angles. He slams his staff down and attempts to power it up even more. But it stays at the same brightness. A limb comes flying from above striking his head and he falls with his back to the floor. The Nefier continue to strike him little by little as he is downed. He is blacking out.
