Shelby disappeared down a flight of stairs. Gem waited for a few moments. All of sudden, she began to feel lightheaded. She touched a hand to her forehead. Her limbs ached. The room began to spin and started to fade to black. Her legs gave way and she fell to the floor. She had the weird sensation of someone watching her. She turned onto her back, breathing heavily. Ash black spikes pierced the rocky ground and morphed into a cave around her. Suspended high about a bubbling pool of lava, a cage swag dangerously. Inside, Vaishi was sitting crumpled on the floor, her eyes glowing black and red and her hands over her face. Floating menacingly in the air, there was another figure, her hair and eyes pulsing slowly from red to black to red again. She was deathly pale and very skinny. She looked on the verge of death. It sent chills down Gem’s spine. Somehow, she knew this must be Ruezya. Ruezya spread her arms wide and several orbs of light appeared. Each had an image on them. No, not an image, a moving picture. Some of them were moving too quickly for her to make out what they were but she could make out a few. One was a blue haired boy yelling at the ceiling angrily, another was a short girl searching through a book, there was one of fWhip, and one of… her. She gasped and red vines penetrated the ground and wound their way tightly around her. They made it hard to breathe and held her firmly in place. She screamed.
