Squeezing the breaks tightly, it stopped my bike. I paused for a moment, thinking "Do I really want to do this?"
I got off, of my bike and I started to push it right up to the entrance.
I glared at the gate. It was gigantic. It was rusted badly, and it was ancient.
It states 'THE UNKNOWN'
Pushing the gate, the wind stopped. Everything stopped. You couldn't even feel the slight bit of wind that blew against the hairs of your arms.
'Here I go' I whispered out loud. I took one step into the place. The ground felt dry, as if it was a desert. This place was dark. Their is no light to be seen for days. I took another step. Then another, until I stopped. I could sense that someone or something was upon me. Panicking, I froze in fear. I didn't know what to do. Should I run, or should I stay exactly were I am?
My heart was racing. It felt like I run a mile in under 3 seconds.
Shivering, I slowly moved forwards, hoping nothing was near me.
Rubbing my eyes, I then saw a small light ahead. What was it? Should I go towards it ?
I took of my backpack, and unzipped it. I felt round for my flashlight until I got it out. I pointed it towards me, then flicked the switch. Keeping my eyes, closed I didn't know what to expect, until I slowly forced them open.
It was astonishing. It was a forest in a huge dome.
Stood in amaze, I felt something brush past me on my back. Turning around quickly, their was a unknown figure which was around a few metres away from me. I was scared. I pointed my flashlight, and their was a person, in a bandit and a hood.
"Hello-?" I said quietly, trying not to create that much noise.
It just stared at me. Nothing happened.
Not knowing what to do, I slowly walked towards it.
"Stop..." It whispered.
I froze.
I didn't know what to expect next.
Suddenly the figures hands slowly moved up, and it took the bandit off.
Then, it pulled down its hood.
There in-front of me stood a figure. It wasn't a human for sure. It had dark skin, lizard-like, and a face which looked like one of those purge masks from a halloween shop.
"Why would you want to come to the Unknown..?" It stated
I paused.
Not knowing what to do, I said willingly "I came to find out what was hidden inside this place. I didn't expect this at all to be honest. I'm surprised to see life in here though. So who are you?"
Their was silence for about 30 seconds until it replied with "I am the gatekeeper, but you may call me Azon."

"Well, hello Azon" I stated "I am Kioti, it's great to meet you I guess.."
Taking a step forwards, Azon took out something from his pocket.
"Take this, and go." Azon whispered.
Walking towards him slowly, I grabbed it from him. And stood their.
"Kioti.." he mumbled..
Unsure what to expect, I whispered "Yes?"

"Beware of this place. You don't know what to expect. If you stay in the dark, you will most likely survive longer." He stated quietly.

Scared, and unsure of what to do, I said "Okay?" And then turned around.
"Bye, I guess.." 
Walking slowly, I picked up my bike and I started to walk, trying not to turn around.
What was going to happen in this place?
Will I ever get out?
