"We've failed, haven't we." Luna Estrada whispered, horror seeping through her voice.
Morana bit her lip, "Looks like we all have."
"Now what?" Allen asked, looking around nervously.
"We travel to the Cave of the Forgotten inside the Crystal Caverns." Pearl said, holding up a map and trying to be helpful.
"That's a day's travel away!" Luna wailed.
Pearl and Morana exchanged a sheepish look and shrugged.
The Elf sighed, taking the map from Pearl, "Might as well go then."
It was sunset when they finally reached the cave.
An eerie silence greeted them as they entered the caverns then found their way to the Cave of the Forgotten.
"Why is it so quiet?" Luna asked, then immediately regretted asking.
In the darkness, there was a sudden glow, making the four people jump back in surprise.
"What was that!" Pearl asked, sucking in a cold breath.
"Run!" Morana yelled, just as a zombie appeared, blocking their path.
Biting her lip, the ebony haired girl slashed forward with her daggers, slicing the monster's head clean off.
"Go! Before it's too late!" Morana called, shoving them all down a tunnel.
"But it already is," a woman's voice rang through the tunnels, "And it looks like you have chosen to betray me."
