- Adrian's Prov
I'm right now walking around the place, or well, sneaking, I'm trying not to get caught or I'm so screwed, anyway, I'm testing out the powers that have awakened within me and so far what I've tested has been working perfectly and I'm getting closer to the Nether portal to get out of here, I can see the portal from here! I then had half a mind to run to the portal but I can't risk it, I was about to continue sneaking UNTIL SOMEONE GRABBED ME AND PINNED ME AGAINST THE WALL AND COVERED MY MOUTH AS I WAS LETTING OUT MUFFLED SCREAMING!! I then started struggling against who this is until they shushed me and told me to be quiet and they'll help me escape so I calmed down and they uncovered my mouth so I looked up at who it is and....LAURANCE!? "Laurance!?" I asked shocked "Is it really you?" I asked shocked to see the man that was like a father-figure to me then he covered my mouth again and gently shushed me again "Yes Adrian, it's really me" he whispered and let me go "Follow me, I know a way past them" he told me so I nodded and we both started sneaking out "Where have you been Laurance!? I missed you!" I whisper/yelled at him "I've been here" he replied simply "That doesn't answer my question, you disappeared when I was just a child, you better start explaining yourself and fast" I told him and he sighed and told me his story of why he left and that he couldn't control the Shadow Knight within him so he stays here to control it but that's where I'm most confused about "If you gained control over it, why didn't you come home? You were my mother's guard" I told him "I...just couldn't face Phoenix Drop like I did while you were growing up, after your mother died, I just couldn't handle it because it would bring back too much pain that I could not experience again" he explained why he didn't come back, I then looked upset for him "Laurance, if you couldn't face Phoenix Drop anymore, why come here of all places? You have a wife and child back home" I told him and that's actually true, I met Laurance's son, his son is Hunter, his name is Hunter Laurance Zvahl, his mother Nashmera named his middle name after Laurance and he's a guard just like Laurance, I just hope he goes back with me because I am not leaving him here with these monsters, he then went to a bridge and I was shocked because I must not've been paying attention because I was busy thinking and asking him questions then he guided me to the portal so I gave him the flint and steel I found and he opened the portal for me to go through but then we heard roaring that I escaped "Oh no" I said worried "Go" he told me "No! I'm not leaving you here!" I yelled at him "GO!" Laurance roared at me with his Shadow Knight voice and I actually got scared from that "Go my lord" he told me drawing his sword "Fine, but the minute I'm trained enough, I'm coming back for you okay?" I told him "Adrian.." he started "I don't want to hear it, I'm coming back for you okay?! I'm coming back!" I told him then I sprinted and jumped through the portal "HUH!" I grunted as I jumped through the portal "WHOAAAA!!" I screamed as the feeling of traveling between realms feels WEIRD, I then was thrown out of the other side of the portal "WHOAA!!" I yelled as I came through the portal "UGH!" I grunted as I landed painfully on my face "Ugh...okay, that hurt.." I groaned getting back up and I started sprinting as far away from the portal as possible because I know Laurance can't hold off that many Shadow Knights but I know he's trying but I promised him I'm going back for him and I intend to keep that promise, I then ran to a road outside the trees AND ALINA, GARROTH AND DANTE ARE HERE ON HORSES!?! I then started waving my arms like a lunatic and Alina stopped, got off her horse and hugged me tightly and I hugged back then she helped me up on her horse and we started heading back to Phoenix Drop but I'm getting a weird feeling like someone is following us, I then heard that noise I heard back from the forest so I made Alina stop and I got off the horse "Adrian?" I heard Alina then I just got a feeling to go somewhere so I slowly walked and found the girl who calls herself Kylo Den and she has her Lightsaber being held but then Garroth went in front of me "SARAH!" Garroth yelled so we looked shocked at Garroth because he knows who she is?? Kylo Den then turned to Garroth "Garroth Ro'Meave" she started "I've been waiting for this day for many years" she said, Garroth then walked up to her "Take off that helmet, you don't need it" he told her as she deactivated her Lightsaber and attached it back to her waist "What do think you'll see if I do?" Kylo asked "The face of my daughter" he told her and I looked shocked at him, he had a daughter and she was training to become a Jedi?? I then saw her take her helmet off and held it "Your daughter...is dead" she told Garroth "She was weak and pathetic like her father, so I killed her" she told us then Garroth walked up to her "That's what Shad the Destroyer wants you to believe, but it's a lie, my daughter is alive" he told her "No" she replied "My master is wise" she told him "Shad is using you for your power, the second he gets what he wants, he'll kill you" Garroth tried reasoning with her "And you know that what I say is true" he told her "It's too late" she told him "No it is not, leave here with me, return home, your mother and I miss you greatly" he told Sarah then she started tearing up "I-I'm being torn apart" she told him with her voice breaking because she's about to cry "More than anything I want is to be free from this pain" she told him "And I know what I have to do... but I don't know if I have the strength to do it" she told him "Will you help me?" Sarah asked Garroth "Yes, anything for my daughter" he told her then she dropped her helmet then she held her Lightsaber

as if thinking what to do with it then she handed it to him to take it then Garroth grabbed it and they both held it tightly BUT SHE IGNITED IT AND SHE STABBED GARROTH!!! "GARROTH!!" Alina screamed "NOO!!!!" I screamed as Alina, Dante and I were w...

Alina screamed "NOO!!!!" I screamed as Alina, Dante and I were watching Sarah kill her own father! "T-thank you father" she thanked him then Garroth very gently held her face as he fell down on the ground dead "YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!!" Alina yelled as she used her magicks and blasted a beam at Kylo and she actually did serious damage to her so Dante, Alina and I made a break for it back to the horses after I took Garroth's sword in memory of him, we then got our horses and made a break for it out of there and I'm crying because of how Garroth sacrificed himself to give us a chance to escape...
