Syrus, Wizeman, and Mr. I continue
walking toward Wizemans Castle. It is about
a quarter-mile away from them. The castle is
really large. It appears that it is night time out
now. The ground is such a dark purple, and a
very dark shadow is cast all over the island.
Everything is so quiet out here. The only sounds
are those that come from Syrus and his monsters
scuffing their feet along the light purple pathway.
The only light on the island is coming
from the stars and from Earths moon. There is
a faint red glow from the volcano, and the glow
of the lava moat around Wizemans Castle up
ahead. They finally arrive at the castle.
“Well, were here.” Syrus says, breaking
the dreadful silence. “Lets break in.”
“Syrus, its very late. Maybe we should
camp here untill the morning.” Mr. I suggests.
“Okay, but what if Synan catches up?”
“You already beat him to the castle.
What are you worried about?” Wizeman asks.
“Good point.” Syrus says as he slowly
sinks to his knees in the soft purple dirt. Syrus
lays down, and before long, he is asleep.
Suddenly a voice says his name, “Syrus!”
Syrus quickly sits up. Mr. I and Wizeman are
asleep on the ground around him. Syrus looks
around to see who said his name. In front of him
is the shadow of a human. The figure steps into
the light of the lava at Wizemans Castle. Its
Zoe!
“Zoe?” Syrus says, sleepily. “What are
you doing here?” It is still really dark out, maybe
even darker than it was when he fell asleep.
“Come with me.” Zoe starts to walk
away. Syrus jumps to his feet and follows her
into the darkness. Zoe walks into the shadows
of the volcano, toward another human.
“Watch this, Syrus.” Zoe says. Soon,
the other human quickly lights up in a golden
flame. Its Synan!
“Synan! Youre... youre...”
“A mega-monster.”
“No way! How??”
A creaky, leathery finger lands on Syrus
shoulder. Syrus quickly turns around to see
the most ugly thing ever! It looks like its dead,
wrapped in a torn purple cloak, carrying a
lantern. Syrus cant see his face, but his arms
are so scrawny and leathery.
Syrus screams and backs into Synan.
In an instant Syrus is in a very bright room.
A tunnel, actually. The tunnel is circular and
spinning. The dead monster stands taller.
“Ill be your guide on your way,
But coming back I wont play. If to the other
side you wish to go, than follow me and dont
be slow.” The dead creature says as he begins
to float away. Synan seems to have lost his
mega-monster power suddenly and he and Zoe
run off after the monster. Syrus gets up and runs
after them.
The three of them suddenly stop but
Syrus keeps running. He didnt stop in time.
Suddenly Syrus falls into the floor through another
spinning tunnel, only vertical and not horizontal.
Syrus screams his lungs out as he falls deeper
and deeper. He cant tell when hell ever stop
falling.
Syrus keeps falling through millions of the
same room. Square rooms, with a horizontal
spinning tunnel on each wall, as well as vertical
tunnels in the ceiling and floor, those of which
Syrus is falling through.
Syrus falls through a room where he sees
Zoe hugging Synan, crying into his shoulder, as
the dead monster watches. Syrus falls through a
few more rooms and sees another dead monster.
This monster looks like Clawz. Mr. I was talking
about Clawz as Syrus was falling asleep.
Clawz looks dead and rotting. Syrus
gives a louder scream as he falls even faster than
the monsters dead corpse. Suddenly Syrus falls
through the last room and sees The Land of No
Return below him.
He hits really hard at the exact point he
fell asleep.
“Syrus, wake up!” Syrus gets up, frightened.
“It was just a dream.” Syrus says, relieved.
Then, the dead corpse of Clawz crashes right in
front of him. Syrus screams as he wakes up.
“Syrus, are you okay?” Wizeman
asks.
“Im fine.” Syrus feels around the
ground for any sign of a dead Clawz.
“I just had the worst nightmare.”
Syrus says.
“Yeah, we noticed. You were
screaming in your sleep.” Mr. I says.
It is now morning. The island is
bright. Syrus looks over to where Zoe and
Synan were standing. Nobody is there.
“Are you sure youre okay?” Mr.
I asks.
“Ill be fine.” Syrus gets up and looks
at the castle. “Lets not break in quite yet.
I have a feeling well be meeting Synan and
Zoe really soon.”
