[Darkness]

You are in a sort of hall, though it is wider and taller. The corridor is about three or four meters high, and the ceiling extends up into blackness. About ten meters away, you see the end of the corridor. It apparently opens directly into a large room, but you can't make out anything about it from here. It's odd; you don't see and torches, and candles. There doesn't seem to be any sort of light. Yet you can see quite well, as one would see in a dim light, but the light that you see by is strangely ethereal... and dark... Yet you see by it still, even though it seems to make the world darker at the same time.

[Neraphym]

They procede down the hall to the end.

[Darkness]

You are in a large rectangular room, its ceiling as well stretching into darkness. To your left and right, the room's walls are each about twenty meters away. The far wall is about fifty meters or so away. You can see there's something in the center of that far wall, but you cannot tell what it is from this distance in this dim light. This room is also in disrepair. Columns are collapsed along the walls, floor tiles are cracked and scattered...

[Neraphym]

Neraphym walks over to the far wall and examines the center.

[Darkness]

There seems to be a sort of fountain, yet there is no water within it. It is shaped like half of a hexagon protruding from the wall, coming out from the wall about three meters and about four meters wide. Instead of water within, there is a strange, black, murky substance. It's not a liquid; more like tangible darkness. Luckily, it exists only within the 'fountain'. On the wall past the fountain, elevated from the top of it by about a meter, is an inlet that extends back about two feet. Within is a statue of a women, life-size, and carved with such precise detail that you would expect it to spring to life at any moment. From the base of the inlet, narrow stairs run down onto a platform in the center of the fountain.

[Neraphym]

Neraphym makes his way up the stairs.

[Darkness]

You run into the fountain. Apparently, to make your way up the stairs, you would've had to climb onto the fountain. But since you did not state such, you ran into it.

[Neraphym]

Neraphym climbs onto the fountain then goes up the stairs.

[Darkness]

As you step over the darkness, it seems to come alive! A tendril, about the width of your arm, rises up and pummels you in the stomach. You're thrown backwards, off the fountain, back about ten feet! The darkness swirls upwards, undulating and moving like a living creature... Then it shoots towards the ground and disappears into it.

Something has happened while you were distracted by the darkness. The statue too has become a living being! It steps forward, down the steps, and over the now empty fountain.

She attacks Neraphym! The Guardian's book falls from his pocket... As it hits the ground, the page on which the writing had been written comes out.

Eledhwen lunges forward and grabs the page of the book, hit by a strange thought. As the page had fallen out, she saw something strange. Picking it up, she saw she was right -- the page had been two pages stuck together. She pried them apart as the battle raged, and finally retrieved the second page.

[Neraphym]

His experience with translating was short, yet Neraphym is still capable to deciphering the words.

"Their elements' pure form is their weakness, for they are now but corrupt shells of the Sages they once were. The pure form is the key."

Neraphym and Lohengrin both attack.

"Eledhwem, cast Stellar Healing on it!"

"What?! I'm not going to heal it!" she yells, casting a spell instead at Neraphym.
