"huh!? what's going on!?" she heard a cold, malicious laugh, and turned around, seeing the same, shadowy figure from her dream. before she could pull her axe out, the figure struck the supports on the platform, causing the whole path to cave in. "HAVE FUN, LITTLE LIGHT!" the figure cackled, and vanished from sight. Barbara instantly started running, trying to get to solid ground. the platform's fell every which way, and most started to catch on fire. "CRAP!!" Barbara screamed, jumping outta the way of an oncoming crumbling statue. the rumble caused the little barbarian to be flown into the air, hitting her head (HARD) on the pavement nearby. she got up, spitting out the blood that was in her mouth, and took off running again. her legs screamed for her to take a rest, but she couldn't. if she stopped. it would spell out her very demise. she yelled in fury, and leaped high into the air...
