“Great-grandpa Jin, if you are the chosen one, I must cover you and send you to the pearl,” I
exclaimed, “we must protect the pearl from falling into the evil spirit hands or else the world will end.”
He sat up with his legs crossed, eyed closed and said, “Every Draconis has his unique ability and
you could see through yours, let me help you.” Red aura started swirling around his body, emitting melting
heat to its surroundings as if all sprites could be destroyed. He opened his eyes and a beam of light struck
through my heart, and the room was dark again…
Images of different types of fighting techniques, weapons, battle tactics, and so much more started
zipping across my head. When they finally stopped, my body felt lighter and my movements were more
agile. When he got up, Jin motioned me to follow him. He brought me to a basement filled with different
varieties of weapons. I found none of them special except a fishing rod which seemed to lure me into it. I
picked it up and felt a warm tingling in my brain. Jin was doubtful about my choosing a fishing rod for the
battle, so he gave me a sword too whereas he took a large polearm with him.
That night, we sneaked past the guards and entered the dungeon… Immediately we fell…
I heard water dripping when I woke up. My eyes shot open! Jin was right next to me scouting the
area. I realized I was facing a giant lake. The water was crystal blue, the air was soothing, and the grass under
my feet felt refreshing. There were millions of funky plants dancing in the wind, along with glowing crystals
that lit up the area. I was stunned by the beauty of the place, and was about to drift away if Jin hadn't
slapped me and woken me up from the illusion. All of a sudden, something tangled my feet, and dragged me
into a gigantic Venus flytrap that was about to devour me. With the speed of lightning, Jin sliced the vines
off, the plant twitched a bit, then died. “P…phew, it was close!”

.
Then we came across a giant maze built with massive stone blocks, the maze pathways were
moveable with no dead ends at all, but there were always a shimmer as if guiding their masters the right path
to the way-out. Far away we heard battle screams. We dashed forwards, hoping to join in the fight;
instead, we saw a bunch of ghouls like creatures with blood dripping from their mouths and a pile of dead,
ripped open bodies at the corner, then we spotted a woman who was about to be attacked. We fended off
the waves of ghouls and retreated from the woman unharmed. I went up to her and to my surprise, it was
Ling! She, too, looked as shocked as I was. I wrapped my arms around her with tears.
We sat down and exchanged our encounters. She was looking for me and also went on the train
and somehow she was in the dungeon with many dead bodies and the ghouls... She couldn’t believe who
we actually were though, however, still wanted to stay with us and I couldn’t leave her alone too.
There was a long hallway before entering the chamber; we encountered thousands of monsters,
some could fly and the rest could crawl—enormous human-eating moths, mutant spiders, giant ants,
massive venomous snakes slowly sneaking across the roof.
We kept deflecting, parrying, slashing, slicing through the hordes of monster and I kept Ling
following behind us during the fight.
Eventually we came across an overwhelmingly enormous trapdoor and I guessed it was the last
chamber door.
“So this is it huh?” I said,
“I think so,” Jin continued with his finger pointing, “all we need to do is to put some blood into
this hole right here…”
Shockingly, blood started spilling from Jin’s heart…
I looked with terror…
Ling was holding a dagger and impaling it through
As Jin collapsed to the ground,
I screamed…
The background immediately dropped. Skulls and skeletons shattered. The temperature dropped
dramatically to freezing cold. Ling started to emit a dark, black, aura around her. Hordes of ghouls
surrounded us with bloodlust eyes.
