Caster's party had to squeeze through a small opening the miners had created. After they passed, the opening was sealed, leaving only a small head-sized hole.

They were instructed to communicate through this hole and to knock on the wall in a Morse code-like pattern to identify themselves to the miners on the other side.

Guards were stationed outside to ensure the miners' safety. The adventurers had a map and were tasked with slowly clearing the tunnels of monsters.

    "The Ash Warden is going home," Solon realized."Yes," Caster nodded. "If that giant monster reaches the green beam, it will step into the center of the earth. It will absorb the entire planar network. The world will just... dissolve."The truck sped down the broken road. The giant shadow of the Ash Warden marched slowly in the distance, shaking the earth with every single step. Time was running out.While Caster and Solon raced toward the city, Sikoa was already running through the dark, damp sewers beneath Glassview.The rogue moved like a silent shadow. She splashed through the freezing water. Her dark leather armor was soaked. Her black eye-patch hid one eye, but her good eye was sharp and focused.The underground tunnels were shaking.Dust fell from the brick ceiling. The green light from the city above was leaking down through the iron grates. The green magic felt sick and completely wrong. It made Sikoa&r

    Caster Spellbound stood on the edge of the broken rock. He looked down at the massive, empty plains. The giant Ash Warden was walking away. Its huge, mountain-sized feet crashed into the gray dirt.The dark god was marching toward the capital city of Glassview. It was marching toward the blinding, bright green beam of light that shot straight up into the night sky.The green light was terrifying. It was the color of poison. It was the color of a dimension tearing wide open."Elias was right," Caster whispered to the empty air. His voice was rough and painful. "The true door is under the city."Caster looked at his own hands. They were covered in dark, dried blood and gray ash. His body was completely exhausted. His bones ached. His broken ribs burned like hot iron inside his chest. He wanted to lie down on the cold stone and go to sleep forever.But he could not sleep. His friend was in danger. The world was breaking.<

    Caster had always thought the Ash Warden’s power was spread out across the wild lands. He thought the monster was born in the dirt of the plains.But Thorpe’s words revealed a horrifying, terrible truth.The High Council of Glassview had not just accidentally pulled too much magic. They had knowingly, purposely built their capital city directly on top of the main, central vein of the entire Ash Plane. The city of Glassview was the cork in the bottle."They built their throne on the door to hell," Caster whispered to himself. His face turned completely pale."He escaped!" General Verne roared in absolute fury.The giant, mutated General turned her heavy cannon arm toward Caster. Her black eyes burned with murderous rage."He escaped, but you are still here!" Verne hissed. She stomped toward Caster. "You ruined my purple batteries! You destroyed my perfect weapons! I will crush you into paste and

    Thorpe lay on the cracked stone. He stared up at the dark, cloudy sky. He did not look angry anymore. He just looked incredibly sad and very, very tired."You always win, Caster," Thorpe whispered. A single tear rolled out of his good green eye. It slid down his cheek, mixing with the dirt. "You always find a way to make me look like a fool. You always have to be the smartest boy in the room.""I did not want to beat you," Caster said. His heart ached with profound sorrow. "I just wanted you to stop hurting people."Suddenly, a massive shadow fell over them.The cliff shook violently.Caster looked up.General Elandra Verne towered over them. The ten-foot-tall monster of purple ice and black steel looked down with her pitch-black, burning eyes. She raised her massive cannon arm. It aimed directly at Caster and Thorpe."How touching," Verne’s metallic voice ground out. "Two old fools crying in the di

    Caster did not punch back. He spun around. He dropped his wooden stick to the floor, positioning it exactly behind Thorpe’s mechanical ankle.At the same time, Caster reached into another pocket. He pulled out a small glass vial filled with clear water. He threw the water onto the stone floor, right under Thorpe’s heavy metal boots.He pushed another tiny drop of golden magic into the water. He commanded the water to change its state. He commanded the water to freeze.The puddle of water instantly turned into a sheet of perfectly smooth, frictionless, solid blue ice.Thorpe tried to pull his heavy brass fist out of the broken rock. He took a step backward. His metal boot hit the solid ice.Because the boot was made of heavy iron, it had no grip. Thorpe’s foot slipped violently."Whoa!" Thorpe yelled, losing his balance completely.As he slipped backward, his other foot hit Ca

    Caster Spellbound let go of the sharp rock. He stood up. The wind was a terrible, howling monster.The broken, spinning core inside Elias Thorpe’s mechanical chest was acting like a black hole. It sucked the loose stones, the dirt, and the heavy gray ash into its blinding center.Caster did not fight the pulling wind. He let it drag him forward. He walked directly into the blinding, screaming light."Yes!" Elias Thorpe roared. The madman stood on the edge of the cliff. His half-metal face twisted into an ugly, crazy smile. "Come to me, Caster! Let my engine eat your golden soul! Let me become the universe!"Caster’s dirty gray coat flapped wildly. His feet slid across the cracked stone. But his face was completely, perfectly calm.His gray eyes burned with a solid, brilliant golden light. It was not the chaotic, angry light of a monster. It was the heavy, warm light of absolute truth.Caster remember
