Something about it was so mysterious about this cave, and I wanted to know more.

I entered the cave and saw a red crystal sealed in ice.

"Woah." I whispered.

The crystal glowed and the ice shattered.

I jumped back and fell to the ground, watching as the ice broke completely.

My eyes widened and I looked at my hands.

"Did I do that?" I asked, but before I could answer, I heard a guard shout for backup as they had heard the ice shattering.

I quickly jumped up and stashed the crystal in my pocket before leaving.

I crept to the cave the following day, putting the crystal back into the remains of the ice pillar.

As I walked away, the crystal fell, causing it to break into a million pieces.

I jumped at the sudden noise and stumbled backwards, my eyes widening as a black smog formed around the crystal.

"No, no, no, no! Frick." I desperately tried to grab the remains of the crystal, causing one to cut my hand.

"Ow! Shit." I whispered, looking at my bleeding hand.

"Tch, tch, tch, poor child." A demonic voice said.

I looked up and saw that the black smog had two red eyes and a wide, sick smile that was dripping with venom.

"I- who are you?" I asked, backing up.

"The one who can help you out of here." It said, stretching out a hand.

I looked it up and down and before I could answer, its hand plunged into my heart, causing me to scream out in pain.
