Sorry for the shortness I just wanted to get all the creepy death stuff out of the way so that I can get on with the good parts. Anyways, in this chapter it will start getting on the edge of talking about Pirate101 but it shouldn't be that severe. Anyways, enjoy :D.

It's so dark...
And I don't know where I am...
Who...Who is that?
Raven? Your name is Raven?
C-Can you help me...I'm lost and scared...I don't know where I am.
Just take your hand?
You promise you'll help me?
Al-Alright...
Please...Just help me...
It's so dark...
And cold...
Wh-What?!
What are you doing?
What's going on?
NO!

Malistaire was epically embarrassed in these strange scratchy Theurgist robes.
"I wonder what they wanted from Swift" Alura says sounding a bit worried
"Maybe you should go check on her" suggests Sylvia "You can probably still catch up"
"Ok!" Alura says happily skipping out of the room
"Bye Alura!" Malistaire calls over his shoulder
"Why'd you say bye?" Sylvia asks "She's going to be right back"
Malistaire shrugs not completely sure himself.

About 10 minutes later Miranda runs into the room looking horrible. Tears are running down her face and she looks like she can barely stand. Malistaire runs over and help support her because she seriously looks like she's about to faint.

"Miranda are you okay?" Malistaire asks looking worried, Sylvia manages to send a slightly hurt/angry look at Miranda behind the concern for her friend
"N-No" Miranda says "Basement...Find...Alura..."
And then she actually faints.
"Heather come with me to the basement" Malistaire says "Sylvia you see what you can do to help her-"
"What can I do?" Cyrus interrupts looking concerned as well
"Nothing you're hurt" Malistaire snaps
Cyrus flinches.
"J-Just watch Sylvia and Miranda" Malistaire replies

He and Heather begin walking down to the basement.
"Where are all the Theurgists and patients?" wonders Heather
Malistaire does notice how odd it is that he and Heather seem to be the only ones around but he tries hard not to "It's probably nothing"
They begin walking down the stairs to the basement, Heather mutters "We're not supposed to be here"
"Yeah duh" Malistaire replies "But we need to figure out what the heck happened to Swifty"
Heather frowns "I guess so"
They keep walking down the stairs which seem to go on forever.
"I-Is it just me or is it getting c-colder?" Heather asks looking scared
"It's the basement" Malistaire says "Of course it's getting colder"
Malistaire is trying to hide his own fear from Heather. Miranda got scared of practically nothing, whatever she saw down here must have been pretty bad...So he was both scared and walking down into a dark basement and overwhelmed by worry over Miranda.

The basement was dark, a big onyx stone was in the middle.
"What's that?" Heather wonders
"Probably nothing" Malistaire replies despite the fact that the stone made him feel very strange
"I'll look over here for anything" Heather motioned to one dark shadowy area "You look over there" she motioned to the other
"K" Malistaire replies

After looking for a while and shouting "Alura! Alura where are you!?" Heather screams at the top of her lungs.
"Al-Alura!" Heather exclaims
"What's wrong?" Malistaire asks turning around
Heather is just standing there frozen, her eyes welling up with tears "Alura...Alura is dead"
"What?!" Malistaire exclaims
Fear grips Malistaire's heart. He learned about this in class. However Alura died would have looked like electrocution or something but really what had happened is that her soul was sucked clean out of her body and taken by some sort of...
"HEATHER GET AWAY FROM THE STONE!" Malistaire shouts
"Why?" Heather asked sniffing back tears
"If you don't get away now it could steal your soul" Malistaire respond which causes the diviner to jump away immediately
"I learned about this in class, it's called an Anima Vitulamen stone" Malistaire responds "Anima Vitulamen is Latin for Soul Sucker, it's a stone that a creature called an Umbra lives inside. There were once lots of Umbra's. They all represented some bad human emotion or sin and they grow more powerful by each time whatever emotion or sin they are in power of is used"
Heather gasps
"They're like dark necromancers" Malistaire continues "Their power...Their power is unbelievable. They created the Dragon Titan, a sinner among the tiny dragonets of Dragonspyre that would have grown peaceful if this one Umbra hadn't found it. Apparently at some point they return as smaller forms, Umbras cut up into separate beings, we're not sure when but at some point in the future a very power prince of some sort, a prince of the Umbras I assume, will rise in anger over the loss of a sibling and he created the dragon titan, only he's from the future. He announced very loudly the Dragon Titan can kill a powerful necromancer or the Dragon Titan will return a Theurgist back to life. It makes no sense, but we have to learn how to defend ourselves in the near future when Umbras return to power. This Anima Vitulamen Stone is very dangerous"

Heather is paralyzed with fear. The words Malistaire spoke hardly made sense and they scared her.
Creatures controlling sins?! No way! she thought her eyes widening
"Wh-What do we do with Alura?" Heather asks looking tearfully down at the girl that many times she'd wished would just go away
"We go tell someone" Malistaire says sadly "Her soul could be long gone by now..."
Malistaire and Heather run out fearfully, they also miss the pulse of green light. They then miss a squeaky screech of pain as a 14 year old boy sees the corpse in the basement. Neither of them realize they're being followed.

Kai Bluebreeze, now known as Bloody Kai Vane, followed the two older wizards up the hall of his hospital. He looked nothing like the innocent blonde 6 year old Alura had once known. His hair had been dyed red and both his cheeks had scars in the shape of an "X" on them. He was Bloody Kai Vane, Kai BlueBreeze no longer existed. His sister ... He'd come so close to finding his older sister so many times and now she was dead. Nobody had saved her...He took his long sword out of his belt, these 2, they'd tell him what had happened to his sister...Or they'd perish.
