Pitch black. Pure darkness awaited them on the other side of the Portal. Rose looked around, confused, suddenly she spotted two glowing eyes staring right her.
"Oh God!" She jumped back.
"Calm yourself it's only me." Said Caden, lighting a torch. The torches light lit the both of them and kept the darkness at bay. The two looked around. And found themselves in some sort of large room. They couldn't see anything, not even the walls. The air smelt like old furniture, and dust flew everywhere. Caden slowly began walking forth, Rose walking beside him. It wasn't long before they reached a section of wall where there was an unlit torch. Caden lit it with the torch in his hand, it immediately caught flame
Suddenly, another torch lit up next it. Then another, and another. Torches that were layed about the room walls all lit up, each lit torch being three blocks separate from one another. Rose and Caden soon found themselves in a la rge room. There were display cases with armors. Suit of armors in colors of brown, silver, gold, coal, and diamond. And more display cases of weapons, just like Ambers'. There was the Portal, that was now powerless. Then there was a double door. Rose tried taking a step towards the door when Caden abruptly raised his free arm in front of her, stopping her.
"Hmph stay back! Something doesn't feel right."
He cautiously made his way to the doors, armed with his fists. He placed the torch in his hand away. He slowly opens the door. Outside there was a long hallway, where they stood, they were facing the wall on the otherside of the hallway. Looking both ways, Caden stepped out of the room. Rose tried to follow but Caden blocked the entrance.
"Stay back!"
Rose to see what was outside the hall. Eventually, Caden stepped aside and let Rose through. The floor was made of block cobblestone bricks, and the walls were just stone.
"Okay, let's go find Nathan." Said Rose, who began walking down the right side of the hall. She was stopped however, when
Caden put his hand on her shoulder.
"Stay close to me, something doesn't settle right."
Rose sighed, almost rolling her eyes. "Caden, we are this close to getting the help we need. We just have to trust that everything is gonna be okay."
Caden looked slightly down at her, his eyes narrowed slightly. "And I'm telling you, there is something off about this place. I want you to close to me where it's safe."
At that Rose sighed. "I trust you Caden. Let's continue." The two made their way down the hall. It was chilly, making Rose shiver. Once down the hall they found themselves at the end. There, on the wall on the same side as where they through, was a single. When Rose opened it, it revealed a long flight of stairs. They walked up the flight of stairs, Rose led the way up, as they made their way up the dimly lit steps, the slightly brighter it gotten. Soon Rose looked up and found they were headed for a single door. They reached the top of the stairs, Rose opened the door and stepped outside.
"Its just dark." Said Rose, Caden stepped out behind her. Caden lit a new torch, and stepped in front of Rose. They were standing on a tile flolit Caden places the torch on the wall near the door they exited. And then suddenly another torch was lit, then another and another. Rows of torches were suddenly lit, and right across from where they stood, even more rows of torches lit. Rose and Caden found themselves in a long and large hallway. The wall up to the ceiling were as tall as four small villager stacked together. The walls were an oak wood color, and the tile floor was tan.
The wall opposite where they stood large glass windows, almost as tall as the ceiling. They were also in a row down the hall like the torches. However, all the windows were all covered with large red curatins. The most and biggest Rose has ever seen. She then realized that since that traveled to another far off place, time must be different. Was it day or was it night? Rose stopped towards the window and reached out an arm to pull the curtains back. A hand grabbed her wrist stopping her from doing so. She looked and saw that it was Caden. He let go of her wrist and said.
"Let's look for this 'Nathan' guy." He motioned towards the left hallway. Where there were rows of lit torches lighting there way. The two walked, into the hallway of the unknown.
