Aiden opened his eyes to see the inside of a cave. The memory of the briwyn whose tongue he pulled out was still vivid in his mind. He remembered that he decided to settle down for a rest since he could not move. It seemed like while he was doing that, he had fallen asleep.He could hear the crackling of fire beside him, a sound that got his mind running at full speed in seconds. He managed to calm himself down shortly afterward.He thought of the position his captor most likely found him in. There was no defenseless position a person could be in that was worse than that. Since he was not dead or restrained, a discovery he made quickly, it meant that his captor was not looking to kill him… At least not yet."I know you woke up… You couldn't fully dampen the involuntary moves your body made", a voice sounded.Thinking for a quick moment while the cave fell into silence, Aiden decided to meet this person, so he sat up. Very slowly, he pulled himself to a sitting position with both his a

And so, they waited for hours. Connor was just getting restless. Staying in a tiny space like that for so long seemed to be getting to him. They waited a while more after Aiden calmed Connor down before they saw what they were waiting for. One after the other, the briwyns piled into the cavern.They were part of a pack because they were the same breed and moved together while having a clear leader. There were also the young ones in the pack and they stayed in the middle, shielded on all sides by the older ones.They moved through the cavern in a clear direction. Aiden and Connor watched them until they were passing beside them.They were not expecting when the pack suddenly stopped in their tracks after one of the briwyns close to the wall they were hiding made a grunt that echoed through the cavern.The leader was the only one that moved when this pause happened. The briwyn was bigger and looked sturdier than the rest. It walked up to the wall and drew in a long sniff.At that moment

Unlike what Zarek said about the Eye of Medusa's petrification wearing off in one hour, the reality was a lot different.Most notable was the fact that Connor only woke up after an entire day.He woke up at the exact moment that Aiden found the problem with the grassland and was trying to fix the problem.He woke up to see that the grassland had been turned on its head.In his sleeping position, the first thing that appeared in his vision was the grassland in the sky. For a moment, he thought that Aiden had flipped his orientation again, but he noticed soon enough, that the ground he was lying on was grass as well.He sat up with a start, looked around, and found that what he was looking at was just as bizarre as the grassland being the sky.All around him, there were walls, every single one of them with a healthy overgrowth of light brown grass."What in the world is happening?", He asked no one in particular."Please, could you explain why everything looks like a maze right now?", H

Fraser stood in front of the giant doors of the throne room as he had done before. Kyllan stood beside him and at that moment he had just finished announcing their presence to the Queen."That feeling never seems to go away, does it? This throne room has been here since the beginning of the empire's existence… As far as the history of the elven people goes, if we want to put a period on it"The doors opened very smoothly despite the intimidating sound of huge doors grinding against the ground they were on.Kyllan and Aiden walked into the throne room side-by-side. It was at this moment that the beast made its presence known when it let out a deep growl that echoed through the throne room.Fraser turned to look at the beast and the look on his face conveyed the exhaustion he felt considering the beast's behavior at that moment."Alyssa, at least reign it in, this is the throne room", Fraser said.Alyssa, the white-coated beast was having none of that, because she huffed and puffed smok

Bizarre as it was, Aiden finally found his balance. The rumbling continued to rock everything and Aiden tried to find the source of the rumbling with the zoom his eyes possessed.At first, he found nothing, the rumbling forced him out of balance and this in turn made standing upright difficult. Standing stably was also the best way to view things properly, and the lack of this variable made his sigh tumultuous at best.One of the waves of rumbles was so strong that it sent Aiden up into the air, and in the moment of free fall that came after, Aiden found that he could stabilize his vision.This was a solution handed to him on a silver platter, and in the situation that he was in, not taking advantage of it would be idiotic.And so, he took full advantage of it. No sooner had he landed, that he jumped up again, this time in a much more controlled and stable manner.This move yielded great results as his sight pierced through the tree line and he saw the first clue as to what was causin
