Padding forward with careful, silent steps the canid entered a strange place... Walking along until darkness covered everything... It faded slightly but the shadows? Of this... Tunnel? Was that what this was? Seemed to stretch onward. Like a never ending abyss. Nothing but the emotions of hate, fear, sorrow and madness could be sensed. It hung in the air like a thick smog... The madness was the most prominent feeling here. Enough to drive you insane. Maniacal laughter was suddenly heard. It rebounded off the walls, echoing... The darkness continued to stretch. Soon there was a lighter break in the darkness. Running forward to get out of this place. The shadows however did lighten and it could be told that this was no tunnel but a corridor. A corridor to where however? Your worst nightmare? Who knew...? The laughter sounded once again, closer this time. Turning around a platform seemed to arise from the ground. Sitting upon the stone was a figure. The madness seemed to be radiating from it. The laughter was also from this creature. Where... Or what were the other emotions being caused by. Not this creature... But what was this creature? Nothing normal... Nothing sane... Pawsteps were heard and the figure looked up. Four horns crowned its cranium as it flared its leathery bat-shaped wings. Crimson pigmented luminaries glaring at another figure in front of it. Something was off about this... Wolf...? The creature looked like one. ...Mostly. But was it really? The shadows engulfed the scene again. Hanging inside the corridor. Covering up everything, in almost a foggy state. Like the madness that still hung in the air like smoke. Laughter sounded once again from who was assumed to be the winged one and two heads suddenly turned forward, to glare. Both had identical crimson hued optics. One pair grew ever closer. Suddenly a third optic opened. Right in the middle of the creatures forehead. The canid tried to scream but no sound was released. A sudden glint of white flashed in the shadows as the creatures maw parted in a smirk. It seemed to take a step back as the three eyes drew away but the other creatures optics came closer... Did this thing have a third eye as well? There was no time to find out however as the watching canid turned and ran back up the corridor. Moving in a annoying slow motion... Was the madness waying down upon the canid? Causing running to be slower? So many questions but they were cut short as the padding of running paws was heard. Something is chasing me... The canid thought... Must... No. Need get out of here! Trying to run faster was a bad mistake as the canid tripped over its own paws... Sprawling out on the cold stone floor. The running behind it had stopped and suddenly... The shadows seemed to get thicker as the presence of the madness came back. Even though it had barely dulled. A small part wondered if the canid was even running in the right direction. But that changed as a hissing whisper dragged out from the wolf like creature...
"Kill." The voice demanded its companion. As it slithered away into the shadows. The madness dissipating slightly.
Rolling onto his back the canid looked up. Seeing the same pair or crimson optics as before. A smirk pulled at this creatures maw as its jaws parted and it lunged forward. Everything then slipped into the thick shadows and vanished...
