3 The Meeting (2/2)

He mustered all his courage and stepped forth.

As he cautiously walks into the cave the dragon's snout behind him closed shut. Leaving him with no exits, just as Nate was freaking out the ground underneath him seems to giveaway as he falls down in darkness.

Nate was still traumatized from his last death as he wondered 'Am I going dying again without doing anything'

As he was regretting over what he had done, he was plunged into ice cold water waking him up from the trance he was in. He tried swimming towards the surface using the little memories he had of swimming from his past. As soon as he emerged from the water he noticed that his surroundings wasn't dark any more it was filled with colourful lights that are being emitted from crystals embedded on the rocky walls.

The next thing he noticed is that this underground cavern was huge almost as big as a football field from Earth. He climbed over the rocky shore and noticed that the ground was littered with skeletons and upon closer inspection he noticed that all these belonged to humans

'Now this solves the mystery regarding all those missing villagers, all of them must have ended up here and couldn't climb back out....'

While Nate was observing the skeletons lying around, the largest crystal in the cavern started shining brightly, It was shaped like an old oil lamp and was sitting in corner of the cavern.

The cave was brightly lit and a thundering voice was heard

”So you are finally here.. We have been waiting for a long time.”

”Who's there ?” Nate looked around at the the flashing lights.

”My name is Baal the Djinn of Wrath and Heroes, I have been given the task to guide you by the Supreme One!!” the sound reverberated in the cavern.

As the lights starts to dim down a giant creature stood in front of him with an appearance that is similar to that of a dragon, with bat-like wings, scaly skin, and horns. He had dark, shaggy hair and a third eye in his forehead.
