Serious: The Fallen Sentinel

[Armed Floatzel]

Daniel and Simon were enjoying a rather interesting sky. The color was purple and the clouds created a nice contrasting effect. Skies like these were rare and needed the right conditions to occur. Daniel and Simon were lying against a tree stump, staring at a full moon.

OOC: Daniel's a Floatzel and Simon's a Raichu. In the RP, the characters are going to a place where there are a lot of strange noises, some of which play in the characters' minds. I've uploaded what some of them sound like. (In case you've read my fanfics, the Transformation.ogg is what the transformation into Pokemon sounds like in its early stages.

By the way, the RP is open to new characters. When the 4th character position is filled, I will close the RP to new characters. First come, first serve.

1: Armed Floatzel - Daniel (Floatzel)
2: Shade - Shade (Umbreon)
3: Connec10 - Piel (Riolu) name has accent above the e
4: SpikyEaredPichu96 - Shyera (Marshtomp)

UPDATE: The RP is now closed to new RPers.

[Shade]

A lone umbreon approaches the tree, it being his favorite spot to enjoy the evening breeze.

[Slot 2: Shade - Shade

[Armed Floatzel]

Daniel and Simon noticed an Umbreon approaching them.

"You ever seen a sky like this?" asked Daniel.

"Heya," Simon greeted.

[Shade]

Shade shakes his head. "Nope. Never have"

He sits beside them, enjoying the lovely sky.

[Armed Floatzel]

Daniel stared at the moon for a moment, then said,

"The only place I've ever seen a purple sky is on another world. You remember that, Simon?"

"Those were the good times," answered Simon.

[Shade]

Shade looks at them curiously. "Another world, you say? I'd like to hear more."

[Armed Floatzel]

Daniel looked at the Umbreon and began with,

"It's an interesting world. Nobody there has heard of Pokemon before, apart from those we met during our adventures."

"Different people, different society," added Simon. "The people there are pretty easy to get along with once you get to know them. Fortunately, we can all talk, so that helps the situation a bit."

"I gotta tell you, some of the adventures there, I'll never forget. Some were fascinating, while others were terrifying. You remember those magic mountains, Simon?"

"Always," answered Simon. "That river of magic that we floated down many years ago...I'll never forget that."

[Shade]

A sparkle fills Shade's eyes. "Ah, so you are from there as well."
He closes his eyes. "....it's been four years since I was swept here....away from that place."

He chuckles to himself "...I like this world much better."

[Armed Floatzel]

"Well, we're not from there, but we've been there, a lot," answered Daniel. "Interesting that you're actually from there."

"We're actually getting pretty rich from our adventures on there," Simon commented. "Our friend, Zeke, had the money to build a secret room in his house. Fancy stuff."

"We built similar things in our houses," added Daniel. "Anyway, what's your name? I'm Daniel, and this is Simon."

[Shade]

"And my name's Shade. Pleased to meet you." he smiles as he speaks with his new friends. He looks up into the sky, enjoying the purplish sky and the pleasant moonlight.

[Connec10]

'Hmm... interesting...' A Riolu approached the group. 'I never thought there were other worlds... Oh, forgive my lack of manners! My name is Piél, pleased to meet you!'

[Armed Floatzel]

"Hi, Piel," replied Daniel. "I'm Daniel, this is Simon, and this is Shade. We came out here to look at the sky. I've never seen anything like this on this world."

"Hey Daniel, here comes an Espeon," Simon announced.

"Daniel? Simon, is that you?" asked a voice.

"Wait...I know that voice," said Daniel. "Is that you, Stephanie?"

"Daniel! I haven't seen you in ages!" answered the Espeon.

"Guys, say hi to Stephanie," Daniel spoke.

[Shade]

Shade blushes a little, thinking of his own friend Espeon as Stephanie approaches. "Oh hi, Stephanie. Come join us."

[Connec10]

'Oh, why hello there.', Piél said, adding 'Oh yes, the sky... I never have seen anything like this in my world before... I'm glad I had that wish...'

[Armed Floatzel]

Stephanie ran up to Daniel.

"So how do you like being an Espeon after all these years?" asked Daniel.

"It's really nice," replied Stephanie. "Nighttime's the time where I get to wander around the forest."

[Shade]

Shade closes his eyes for a moment. "Strange....I'm out and about at night as well, but I've never seen you before..."

He looks at her. "How long have you been in this area?"

[Connec10]

'Oh boy, it seems we quite have something in common.', Piél said quietly, sitting down to the ground.

[Armed Floatzel]

"I've been here all my life," answered Stephanie. "So has Daniel. Just so you guys know, I'm not always an Espeon. When the sun comes out, I turn back into a human again. And when the moon comes out, I turn into an Espeon."

"She's my cousin," added Daniel.

[Shade]

"It's strange that I haven't seen you before, though...." Shade sits and ponders. He quickly dismisses it and looks at the moon again.

"Something about the full moon and purple sky calms me a lot."

[Connec10]

'Hm... for an unknown reason, it makes me rather tense... Eh well, probably is nothing.', Piél exhaled.

[Armed Floatzel]

"Hey, Stephanie, you remember that one night where we went to Mt. Vernenn?" asked Daniel. "The night you were turned into an Espeon."

"Yes, I remember," replied Stephanie. "Why?"

"What was it like for you...the transformation?"

"It's kinda hard to describe," answered Stephanie.

[Shade]

Shade listens intently to the coming story, not remembering how he became an umbreon himself.

[Connec10]

Piél leans in closer to get a better hear, curiousity printed all over his face.

[Armed Floatzel]

Stephanie began her story,

"It was a day just after Christmas. I was with Daniel and a couple of my other cousins. This was back when Daniel was still a Buizel. Their names were Rick and Emily. We going to meet up with Simon and Zeke. Zeke's a friend of ours.

We met, then we went into the forest to see one of Daniel's friends, who was also a Buizel. When we were almost there, the father showed up and warned us that the Ditto was about. We went to his home and waited. Then the Floatzel told us that there's a shortcut back to our town, so we decided to take it.

Then a Meowth appeared, which was in fact, the Ditto. Poor Rick didn't have time to run before he was hit and lost consciousness. I had to carry him on my shoulder.

The Meowth then turned into an Espeon and started chasing me, while I was carrying Rick. There was a portal in front of me. I had almost made it, when the Espeon shot multi-colored waves at me. I couldn't dodge them, so I was hit in the back. I began to fall asleep or unconscious.

After that, I had a dream. Do you want to hear the dream?"

[Shade]

Shade's ears flatten after hearing Stephanie's sad story. "I don't remember how I became like this...the first thing I remembered was waking up like this, half conscious on a beach. That's when I met...."

He shakes his head. "A...anyways, sure, I'd love to hear your dream."

[Connec10]

'Ouch, bad enough it attacked you at all, but when you were defenseless and turned your back just made it worse off...', Piél said in shock. 'You had a dream afterwards? Sure, do go ahead!'

[Armed Floatzel]

"The dream started in this wintry landscape. There was a lot of ice and a big fountain carved into a ledge had water pouring down it. It was fun to watch. Surprisingly, I didn't feel cold. It's strange because I actually drew a picture of that landscape, so it was kind of exciting to see the real thing in my dream.

I decided to take a drink out of the fountain, so I did. You wouldn't believe how refreshing it was. After I was finished, I jumped to the ledge above the fountain and pulled myself up. You want to know what I did next?"

[Shade]

Shade leans closer, ears perked up, clearly interested in the story. "What did you do?"

[Connec10]

'Oooooh, interesting. Please, go ahead...', Piél said quietly, not wanting to disturb.

[Armed Floatzel]

"I found a slope that curved into a U-turn. I was curious on where it would take me, so I slid down the slope," Stephanie continued.

"It was fun. When I reached the bottom, I felt dizzy for a few seconds. Then I collapsed and fell asleep. When I woke up, I could see myself in third person. I was an Espeon. I could see myself, yet I could feel everything.

Then I saw Daniel. He called out my name. I wondered how he could recognize me and my new self. We had a conversation about art and he was amazed at how he and I were inside my own art. We walked off toward an icy cavern, then the dream ended.

That's when I found out that I actually was an Espeon."

[Shade]

Shade lays there, thinking deeply about what he just heard. "It's interesting how dreams can tell you more about yourself. I rarely have them myself."

[Connec10]

Well, to be honest, this sounds like a nice dream to me. Not that I would know anything about dreams, I hardly can sleep at nights...', Piél answered.

[Armed Floatzel]

"My cousin Rick's a Persian," Daniel started. "He's two years older than I am, which means he's 19. Stephanie is 23."

"I'm 16," added Simon.

"And I'm 17," continued Daniel. "I had my first adventure when I was 6. Those were truly magical times. I always found it kinda odd how Pokemon can be part of a human family tree."

[SpikyEaredPichu96]

"I've had dreams like that, too." Said a Marshtomp, who'd been sitting a little to the side, waiting for the right moment to introduce herself. She smiled, looking up at the sky. "To be honest, though, they're pretty weird most of the time."

[Shade]

Shade tries avoiding staring at Stephanie at all costs, seeing her bringing back memories. He shakes his head to be rid of those memories.

"I don't dream much anymore, but when I do the dreams are usually very odd."

[Connec10]

Looking closely at Daniel, Piél sighed. 'How interesting. You've got me curious now...', and directed to the Marshtomp, 'Oh hello there! Care to tell us your name so we can address you properly?'

[Armed Floatzel]

"Eavesdropping, are we?" asked Daniel. "Looks like we're starting to get attention. Anyway, nice to meet you. I'm Daniel, this is Simon, this is my cousin Stephanie, this is Shade, and this is Piel. What's your name?"

[SpikyEaredPichu96]

"Shyera." the Marshtomp replied, not taking her eyes from the sky. "Some people just call me 'Shy'.".

[Shade]

Shade chuckles. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Shy." He fixes his gaze back at the purple sky and the full moon, enjoying it thoroughly with his new friends.

[Connec10]

'Shyera? Pleased to meet you! I'm sure we'll get along good.', said Piél, turning his head to the moon, enjoying its shine.

[Armed Floatzel]

Daniel looked to his left and saw something very familiar. He began to see blue sparkles. Then a blue oval opened up, reminding Daniel, Simon, and Stephanie about something important.

"Looks like we've got another mission to do," Daniel started. "We have to get going now. You guys can come with us if you want, just be aware of the dangers of what we're about to enter."

"Each time that thing opens up, it's a new mystery each time," added Simon. "This portal will take you to a another world."

Daniel, Simon and Stephanie began to walk towards the portal.

[SpikyEaredPichu96]

Shyera watched, as they started towards the blue oval. She sat there for a moment, mulling it over, then decided. She, too, started towards the portal.

[Shade]

Shade knew a lot about portals from his past...could this be more of his doings? Deciding not to risk it just in case it was, he also heads for the portal, preparing himself for anything.

[Connec10]

Slowly following the others, curious about what he would see after stepping through it, Piél thought "Another world... I hope that thing doesn't take me back to mine... Hrr, they wouldn't recognize me anyways...".

[Armed Floatzel]

Daniel was the first to walk into the portal. The rest soon followed, with the portal closing behind them. They ended up inside what looked to be a medieval storeroom. There were four torches burning on the left and right walls, two on each. Crates and barrels were scattered across the room. Daniel saw this as an opportunity for concealment.

"Hey Shy," Daniel started. "Can you put the two nearest torches out? Try not to use too much water in doing so."

"Be prepared for anything," Simon suggested. "We're in a different world with different people. Anything can happen."

[SpikyEaredPichu96]

Shy used a couple of gentle Water Guns to put out the torches, smiling once she was finished. "That should do it." she said softly.

[Shade]

Shade uses his control of shadows to darken the area around them further, covering them completely in shadow, providing a perfect cover.

[Connec10]

Seeing the room darkening down, Piél moves a few steps, trying his best to stay in the shadows, to examine the room a little. 'It sure looks interesting in here', he quietly said.

[Armed Floatzel]

"Shade, that kind of darkness will draw attention to us," Daniel warned. "If someone comes in here, they'll want to see what's in the darkness."

"It's a good idea to keep darkness as natural as possible," Stephanie suggested.

"Hey...I hear footsteps," Simon spoke.

"Quick, behind these crates," said Daniel, quietly.

Indeed, he began to hear footsteps and someone mumbling to himself. Daniel could make out something like,

"uh, gotta get home an' 'ave dinner 'n I'm waitin' and I'm starvin' and hadn't eaten anything since breakfast."

[SpikyEaredPichu96]

Shyera jumped behind the crates, her heart pounding. As she listened to the conversation, she realized she was a little hungry. For Pete's sake, keep focused, Shyera. She told herself silently.

[Shade]

Shade slips into a nearby shadow, watching as a guard passes by. He watches intently, but carefully, not having seen a human in a long time.

[Connec10]

Hearing the guard, Piél carefully took some steps back as he wasn't nearby any crates, but as he saw the guard, he stopped right where he was, hoping the shadows concealed him enough so he wouldn't get spotted. 'If I move now, my movements are definetely going to give me away', he nervously thought.

[Armed Floatzel]

The guard made a comment about the door, saying,

"Sloppy...this should be shut."

Daniel poked his head out from the side of the pile of crates. He saw a man in a suit of chain mail and a steel helmet, wielding a longsword. The guard noticed that two of the torches were out.

"Torches...unreliable things," he muttered.

The guard then turned around, walked out of the room, and back down the hallway, closing the door behind him.

Simon waited a few seconds before saying,

"That was close."

Daniel walked up to the door and looked through the keyhole. He could see the guard walking into a dark room. There was another dark room further down the hallway.

"Guys, I think we'll need to hide in there to get by undetected," Daniel suggested.

"How do we know when it's safe to move?" asked Stephanie.

"Let's wait until he turns right, then we'll move," answered Daniel. "When we get there, try not to breathe hard, and hug the wall if you can, so he doesn't bump into any of us."

[SpikyEaredPichu96]

Shy relaxed. She'd crouched low, to avoid being seen. She'd also seen the guard, through a small gap between two crates. "If we are seen, I might be able to buy us some time." she grinned, "Water and metal don't go together, and mud's even worse."

[Shade]

Shade slows his breathing, becoming calm like the shadows, preparing himself to move stealthily on Daniel's order.

[Connec10]

'We better be careful. I doubt water and mud are going to help much if he is going to go loud, so let's try to pull this off silently', Piél said concerned. He waited for Daniel to go ahead, giving a sign to move after.

[Armed Floatzel]

"Besides, guards can swarm the place like ants," added Daniel, waiting for the guard to proceed with his patrol. "And they can skewer us with their swords. The worst we could do is knock that guard against the wall. The guard on the other hand can chop off our limbs. This is the danger that Simon and I face every time we go on an adventure."

The guard wandered off to the end of the corridor, turned left, and disappeared.

"Now's our chance," Daniel began. "Let's go."

He opened the door and walked down into the second dark room down the hall and waited for the others.

[SpikyEaredPichu96]

Shyera followed Daniel down the hall, being as quiet as she could. She realized that the others were right; water and mud wouldn't do much if they were spotted. Quietly, she cursed herself for not thinking it through better. I'll have to learn to not be so reckless. She realized, Otherwise, I'll probably get everyone killed...

[Shade]

Used to sneaking around through the shadows, Shade treads carefully, using shadows as much as possible to conceal his movements, following Daniel into the second dark room, taking cover in another shadow.

[Connec10]

Closing his left eye, Piél slowly followed the others. He didn't have great problems to stay concealed, safe for his statue, trying to stay close behind Daniel.

[Armed Floatzel]

Daniel walked inside the second dark room, which he felt was perfect for concealment. No one had bothered to put any lights in yet, so Daniel was grateful for human error.

"I don't hear any footsteps," Daniel spoke, quietly. "It's safe to talk for a minute. Listen up everyone. The guard we just saw is on patrol, and he's patrolling this hallway. Sooner or later, he's coming down here again.

Here's the plan: when that guard walks down the hallway towards the room we were just in, quickly but quietly sneak down to the other end of the hallway and go right. I'll tell you what to do next after we turn the corner."

[SpikyEaredPichu96]

Shyera nodded. "Understood." She whispered.

[Shade]

Shade nods, crouching down low to the ground, concealing himself as much as possible, waiting for the guard to pass.

[Connec10]

Piél pressed himself against the wall, trying to slow down both his heartbeat and breath, preparing to do as he was told.

[Armed Floatzel]

After several seconds, Daniel began to hear two sets of footsteps. Then the guard, along with a teenage boy carrying two unlit torches, walked towards the storeroom.

When both opened the door and closed it behind them, Daniel gave the signal.

"Time to go," he said.

Daniel walked quickly around the corner and down a long hallway. He walked down the hallway until he came to a metal door. Pushing down on the handle, he slowly opened the door and went inside.

Inside was dark; just barely lit with a couple of torches. There were lots of shelves, each holding containers of different materials and objects. There was an opening in the wall to the left and another at the back wall.

"Uh oh," Daniel spoke. "I hope the guard and that boy didn't see the water when you put out those torches, Shy. If they did, then they'll know something's up."

[SpikyEaredPichu96]

Shy nodded. "Let's hope not." she replied. She examined one of the jars on the shelf closest to her. "I wonder what's in here.." she thought aloud. She knew better than to touch it, but she was still curious.

[Shade]

Shade carefully enters the room, sniffing the air, careful not to knock into or trip over anything on the ground.

He sniffs one of the barrels intently. "Is this....fish?"

[Connec10]

'Shade, don't make me hungry...', Piél quietly said, looking at him for short, then examining the whole room. 'Hmmm... some of this stuff might could be useful for if we should come back later, don't you two think, Daniel and Simon?'

[Armed Floatzel]

"No," answered Daniel. "I'd rather not be sword-kebabed. I'm saying this with eleven years of surviving lots of ways to get my head sliced off."

"Hey, what's that under the bottom shelf?" asked Stephanie.

"Looks like a lever," replied Daniel. He pulled the miniature lever, revealing a small opening in the wall. Inside were two scrolls, with one having a metal ring with a handle fastened to the middle. Daniel took both and gave the one without the metal ring to Piel.

"Piel, read the instructions, but do NOT cast the spell," Daniel warned. "These are magic scrolls. Here's what you do. You put your paw on the blank area, then mimic the movements in the scroll. Then release."

He opened the one he had, which read Force Bolt.

"Force Bolt...I've had this before," Daniel noted. "Piel, what does yours say?"

OOC: Piel's scroll says "Wall of Wind".

[SpikyEaredPichu96]

"'Force Bolt'? Interesting." Shyera noted. She walked closer to them, careful not to knock anything over.

[Shade]

Shade takes a quick glance at the scrolls before moving on, scouting everything in the storeroom carefully, keeping hidden in the shadows.

He suddenly stops, perking his ears up. "Ssh....did you hear that? Sounded like....light footsteps?"

[Connec10]

'Wall of Wind, it says', Piél got out, just before he heard Shade. "Trouble's ahead. What to do?", he nervously whispered out.

[Armed Floatzel]

"Quick, hide under the shelves," Daniel suggested.

The room was dark enough for the shelves to conceal everyone. Daniel heard the footsteps too. He crawled to the back, under the bottom of the first shelf and waited.

A guard with a bow walked in soon after. He came in through the passage opposite the door Daniel used and walked through the passage on the left. After a little while, there were no more footsteps.

[SpikyEaredPichu96]

Shyera exhaled, a little explosively. "That was close." She said softly, crawling out from under the shelf she'd been hiding under, though she stayed close enough so she could jump back into the shadows if necessary.

[Shade]

Shade peeks his head out from under the shelf he hid under. "Don't be too careless...I think I hear more footsteps coming..."

He ducks his head back under the shelf as he says this, concealing himself as much as possible.

[Connec10]

Piél just wanted to come out as he heard Shade and nearing footsteps again. He rushed into his old position, hoping that this person would go past them as the one before.

[Armed Floatzel]

Daniel, Simon, and Stephanie waited to see what would happen next. Then they began to hear more footsteps. But unlike the archer's, these footsteps didn't sound as if this person was on patrol. They were quiet and sounded as if the person had slippers on.

Then everyone saw a girl in a fancy green robe walking around as if she was lost and looking for something. She looked to be around Daniel's age, maybe a year older. She had a nervous look on her face. She then began to approach everyone's hiding place. Everyone began to hear the archer's footsteps again. The girl quickly walked over to where Daniel was, completely unaware that anyone else was here, crouched on her knees, and crawled into where Daniel was.

Daniel went beet red in the face, while Simon and Stephanie thought "oh no, caught." As the archer walked by, the girl noticed that something was breathing on her neck. She then felt around for whatever was breathing on her. She felt something furry and suddenly began to sweat, but she refused to leave her place.

When the archer left, Daniel, still blushing, asked,

"uhhh...'scuse me? What are you doing?"

The girl turned to see Daniel's face, then she scrambled out of her hiding place, asking,

"Who are you? What are you? How did you get in here?"

"That will take some time to explain. You got a moment?" answered Daniel.

[SpikyEaredPichu96]

Shyera had dived back into the shadows when she'd also heard the footsteps, and had been rather surprised when she saw the girl. Now, she peeked out from the shadows, though she didn't come out completely. She didn't hear any more footsteps, but she wasn't going to take any more chances.

[Shade]

Shade carefully approaches the girl, looking her up and down all over. It has been years since he had seen a human girl. He had almost forgotten what they looked like.

He carefully approaches the girl, nuzzling his nose in her hand gently, attempting to calm her.

[Connec10]

Piél peeked his head out, carefully looking at the girl, then around to make sure there was nobody else, and then back at the girl.

[Armed Floatzel]

The girl began to calm down, thanks to Shade. After a moment, she spoke.

"What are all of you doing here?" she asked.

"Trying to find a way out of here," answered Daniel.

"We're trying to avoid all these guards as well," added Simon.

"So what's your name?" asked Stephanie.

"Talayah," answered the girl.

"Interesting name," said Daniel. "My name's Daniel, this is Simon, this is my cousin Stephanie, this is Shade, this is Piel, and this is Shyera, though we call her Shy for short."

[SpikyEaredPichu96]

Shyera had come out of the shadows, and was now sitting not far from the others. She inclined her head toward the girl when Daniel introduced her.

[Shade]

Shade sits beside the girl, keeping her company to keep her calm, at the same time glancing around and moving his ears around quickly, listening for other signs of danger that may approach them.

[Connec10]

Still being in the same spot, Piél had some questions he would liked to be answered...
'Hey, Talayah... um... where are we? What is this place? And what are you doing in here, with all these guards around?'

[Armed Floatzel]

"It's...complicated," answered Talayah. "But I'll explain it the best I can. I'm here to find the Captain's so-called 'Lucky Coin.' I'm not a thief and I have no interest in what it's worth. But I need to borrow it for a very important mission. This coin will determine the fate of the entire city. No one else knows about this but me and a select few. I've already found the coin and it's in my pocket, but I need to find a way out now.

The coin is an old relic that used to open the entrance to an abandoned cathedral. That's where I need to go."

"Would you mind if we came along?" asked Daniel.

"Sure, if you want," replied Talayah. "Just be aware of the risks you'll take in this mission."

"I understand," said Daniel. "Speaking of risks, where's that archer guy?"

"All the guards are on lunch break," Talayah responded. "I found a copy of their schedule."

"Now is the perfect time for us to make our escape, then," Simon suggested.

"Seems like it," Talayah spoke.

[SpikyEaredPichu96]

Shyera stood. "I'm ready when you guys are." She said.

[Shade]

"Let's just be very careful" Shade says, glancing around the room to make sure it's secure. "They could come back from lunch break before we know it."

[Connec10]

'Talayah, it seems you know this place quite good. Could you give us some directions?', Piél asked her quietly, moving out of his hideout. 'And we better get out of here fast, I don't want some guys shooting me with pointy sticks.'

[Armed Floatzel]

"Follow me...I know a secret way out of the building," Talayah spoke.

She walked through the passageway to the left of where everyone was standing and entered another storeroom. Then she opened the door on the left and entered the hallway.

As she walked through the hallway, she quietly said,

"Don't worry about the guards, lunch break only just started. We've got time."

"Okay...I just hope there's not an emergency," Daniel responded.

When she reached the end of the passage to the north, she peeked around the corner.

"Good...the door's shut," she said. "Let's do this quick."

She walked about halfway down the hallway, then stopped at the left wall.

"What are you doing?" asked Simon.

"Watch," answered Talayah.

She pressed one of the blocks on the wall, making it recede a bit. Then part of the wall opened downwards.

"Come on, everyone," she spoke.

When everyone was inside, the wall slid up and closed itself again.

OOC: This is the map for the next area. Be prepared.

[SpikyEaredPichu96]

Shyera followed Talayah and the others silently. When the wall closed itself, it was just a little to dark for her taste, but her eyes adjusted quickly. She couldn't shake the feeling, however, that something wasn't right...

[Shade]

Being well accustomed to dark places, Shade moved to the front, keeping his eyes open and ears perked, looking for any signs of danger as they traveled deeper into the secret passage.

He could sense something was wrong...potential danger ahead of them.

[Connec10]

'They have an interesting way to hide passages, I have to admit.', Piél said after the wall closed again. His eyes soon adjusted to the dark, enabling him to see a little bit into the darkness. He laughed a bit into himself, thinking this was way too easy to be real.

[Armed Floatzel]

Talayah began to walk through the secret passage, which became increasingly dark until the point where she couldn't see anything at all. Daniel and Simon also had trouble finding their way around. Meanwhile, the atmosphere was almost chilling.

It was pitch black in the room, with no sources of light whatsoever. Daniel heard dripping noises and a strange, echoing, creaking noise.

[SpikyEaredPichu96]

Shyera's heart was pounding. The feeling that something was wrong was becoming stronger. Her eyes were useless, because it was so dark, so she closed them, trying to listen. There was the sound of something dripping, probably water, and another noise that she couldn't identify. She frowned, trying to figure it out...

[Shade]

Shade moved forward, looking around, his night vision taking over. He could see anything that moves, using his ears to hear movement.

The group comes to a large, pitch black room. Shade glances over the room quickly, his eyes becoming fixed on something in the back corner. He couldn't see it entirely, but he could see something moving...

[Connec10]

Walking by the wall as he couldn't see anything anymore, Piél could hear these weird noises as well. Not knowing what awaited him, he was about to step into the room.

[Armed Floatzel]

Daniel hugged the left wall until he could find no more wall. Daniel was sure they were in another room. But Daniel thought it wouldn't be a good idea to make any light or noise. The floor seemed to be made of stone, which was good, since the only one who needed to worry about making too much noise on stone was Talayah, who had slippers on.

Everyone then began to hear hissing noises. Daniel's heart began to thump because he couldn't see anything in this room. Daniel could tell that the hissing noises were coming from the left side of the room, so he creeped by to the right. When he reached the wall, he felt a space between one section of the wall and the next.

Talayah suddenly had an idea. She felt around for a light switch. When she found it, she flipped the switch and on came several dim lights along the left and right walls.

The source of the hissing turned out to be a massive spider, about half the size of Daniel. The spider suddenly made an angry hiss and crawled towards the nearest person, which happened to be Daniel. Daniel couldn't defend himself from the spider because he had no weapons, but Talayah had an idea.

Talayah jumped up in the air. She lifted her legs up and landed on top of the spider, crushing it with her knees. She then lifted an old crate and laid it on top of the spider, preventing it from moving.

"We have to face our fears sooner or later," she said.

"Yeah...just be careful how you face them," Daniel warned.

Daniel followed Talayah out of the room.

Shyera looked at Talayah with something like admiration. "Not bad." She complimented.

[Shade]

Shade followed the group out of the now-lightened room, glancing once at the huge spider before leaving. He moves to Talayah's side, keeping her company as they pressed on, always watching for the next danger to befall them.

'Impressive, Talayah.', Piél exclaimed, walking around the spider, and adding more jokingly 'They are having weird pets, haha!'. He then followed the others.
