~Continued~

 You are surrounded by a sort of blinding light. You open your eyes, and there you are, at the foot of the tower. You look around, waiting to catch a glimpse of that majestic blue creature. Suddenly, you hear a neigh from inside the tower. With your sword in one hand and a shield in the other, you walk into the tower. There...

You swear you see a blue glow from the corner of your eye. You look around but it is gone. Taking a deep sigh you prepare to find the source of the noise. As you walk you realise how much the tower has grown with the forest...

With the tower standing in front of you, feelings of anxiety, anticipation, and curiosity rose from your feet up. You're excited but afraid. You're willing to step inside and venture into the unknown but is afraid. You shrug it off, you smile and you bravely enter, and you see more wonder than you expected you'd see...

A big room. Filled with darkness with small lights everywhere. Shining yellow, blue, and orange lights here and there. Bright but not as much as you can't look. Suddenly, it goes dark and you start to feel weak. You feel a tingle in your throat and cough...there is blood...

Poison. You feel weak. Your legs and hands fall to the ground. You concentrate on the source of your wound. Your arm. You can't stop coughing up blood. You feel this is the end. Suddenly, the whispers appear, encouraging you. Your journey is not quite over yet. You need to reach the top.

Determined now, you get up with all over your strength, sword and shield in hand. You close your eyes and concentrate on the sound of your enemy. You find them. You head towards them at full speed, landing a blow on the enemy. A door opens too many stairs that leads up. You mend your arm the best way you can. You prepare for what's in store. You fought many trials, faced many strong foes, and survived through it all. Now, your journey is at its end. You made it to the top. Maybe when this is all over, you could explore the Magical Forest and find your blue friend. You start to think it was a dream. Nonsense. You pinched yourself beforehand to make sure. You laugh a little then sigh. You walk up it see the twilight sky and a dark silhouette...

There, standing before you was your greatest fear. An enormous dragon as dark as night with eyes of fire was staring you down. His Razor teeth dripping with poison hisses at your arrival.

Thousands of skeletons of fallen warriors failing to stop the monster from its nest. You unsheath your sword before your foe but fear overcomes you. Unable to look away from it's spellbinding eyes, your weapon drops to the floor. That's when the beast strikes!

You were able to jump out of harm's way, just barely due to the poison, you trip over one of the skeletons and fall to the ground. You look up at the towering dragon, fear overwhelms you once again. You attempt to grab the dropped sword only to be blocked by this godlike being. The beast strikes you and sends you to the edge of the tower, cracking what's left of your armor.

You drop to your knees, your poisoned body weakens even more now. The courage you attained on your journey slowly fades along with your vision, the hopes you dreamed of slowly being drained away as well as your strength, your determination being consumed by fear, fear that this is the end...
