CHAPTER 2: Atop, the dragons maze, and the tale of Ghirahims brain

Aleind and Reion make it to a bright green clearing. And in the center of that clearing is an old white temple covered in moss and vines. It has and arched entrance that rises to a circular shaped window that has the beam of darkness coming out of it. "So this is the place." Aleind states as he and Reion walk towards the dark entrance. "What do you think it was used for?" Reion asks Aleind

"As if I know" Aleind responds as they stop at the entrance temporarily. After a deep breath they enter.

The dungeon though made of a white brick looks purple due to he lack of light. It's at first tight and goes down for a bit until Aleind and Reion enter a big room. It has 4 walkways 1 leading from whence they came, 2 leading to seemingly smaller rooms and one in the center. Leading to a bigger gateway that's blocked by a weird energy, it's also where the ray of dark energy comes from.

The two decide to explore the dungeon heading right first, in order to find a way to open it. Once the walk into the right room they both are immediately attacked by 2 darkwraiths. The dark wraith both swing their curved blades at them. They both dodge but only Reion escapes the blades as Aleind is struck on the leg. "FUCK!" he shouts as he tumbles down to the ground quickly rolling so he can be facing the enemies.

He then slices the one who got him in half turning it into a dark goo. As for Reion after dodging she immediately shoots the darkwraith after her killing it with one shot. "You okay?" she asks Aleind "yes it's only a scratch, still hurt though." He responds and the two are now able to explore the room. The room they entered is empty, only holding a crevice with a few old candles that can no longer be lit, and the temple is so old that any scribbles on the wall have been dulled out. However their is one interesting thing, a giant pitch black orb sits in the middle of an altar. "What do you think that does?" Reion asks Aleind. Aleind looked at it for a moment thinking and then he decides Fuck it and touches it. The orb glows with a dark aura, and the room shifts into a labyrinth, and the Door behind them shuts. In front of them is a maze. "It…it's like we've been transported!" Aleind says with a scared stutter. They both look to their side and see a sign it reads "to prove you are Ghirahim find the 3 switches in the maze!" They both Then turn to the maze. "Welp let's go in!" Reion says grabbing her gun and heading into the the maze Aleind follows closely behind!" The maze Twists and turns as they enter but the worst part is that it is filled with enemies! At first it was three darkwraiths, it started like any other battle Aleind took his sword and slashed at them and Reion took her gun and shot them. The three went quickly but after a few more steps another three appeared and then another and Another and well you get it. Besides disorienting them this also drained them of lots of energy by the time they made it to the first switch they were nearly spent. They both decided to take a break, Aleind looks around in a panic and then remembers something. If this is fir Ghirahim then there must be a way for Ghirahim to bypass this, then as he looks up he remembers that Ghirahim has jets onhis armor. "Hey reion! Do you have something that can get us up their!" He says, Reion then checks her pockets and finds a grappling hook she packed. "I've got this!" She says waving it around she then grabs ahold of Aleind and the two skyrocket to the top. The two then run across the top of the maze and get to the second switch. But on the way a few darkwraiths scammed up. Reion takes her gun and shots them dead in near seconds. They continue then clamber down to the second switch. The pull it and Grapple atop to the final switch. A few more darkwraiths appear and attempt to stop them. But this time Aleind slashes through them killing them in seconds. They clamber down again and pull the switch. As soon as they do the maze disappears and they fund themselves back in the room they once were. But this time the dark orb is gone.

They walk out of the room and see that the bigger gate is opened. Before entering they check the other smaller room just incase and find it only to have some gold and other goodies. They take them and head into the big room. The room seems to be some sacred place but it's hard to exactly make out for two reasons. One its nearly destroyed and two there is a giant black and purple dragon with green eyes and TWO heads sitting in the middle of the room emanating a thick dark fog. It's wings are massive and its claws are sharp. And it seems to have mastered its movement. As Aleind and Reion enter theyreasy their weapons and prepare for a fight.

The huge beast towers over Aleind and Reion swiping its claws at them. Aleind and Reion dodge its attacks. Reion then aims her gun at it and pulls down her visor. It glows a bright red, she flicks a switch on her pistol and then fires *BANG*. The bullet she fired hits the dragon directly on the head but instead of piercing it explodes. Causing the dragon to wince back. But it's not even close to enough as the dragon gets up easily. It's two heads then aim for both of them one on Reion and the other on Aleind. Then it breathes pure dark energy at them in a straight laser like way. They dodge but Aleind gets a little grazed "FUCK YOU!" he says rushing at the beast with the sword of light.

He then jumps at the beast and slashes at it causing a deep wound between its heads. "GRAAAAAAAAAAA" it shrieks as Aleind slides down the middle, the two heads then breath at each other creating a ball of pure dark energy, they then unleash it causing a massive wave of energy to disperse throwing Aleind and reion back. But whilst in the air Reion aims her gun and fires *BANG BANG BANG* she goes firing a few times causing bullets to pierce the dragons skin.

After the fall Aleind then gets up. "Stand back!" He says to Reion as he rushes at the dragon he then Jumps and slams his sword into the ground. causing a flurry of giant rocks and temple ground to pierce the enemy *SWSH BAGJWD!*. And just like before the energy from the blade conducts through the ground and into the dragon. "GAAAA!" it screams as the light energy rips it into shreds and in mere seconds. It's gone, and so is the ray that was coming through the door. The two then leave the dungeon.

On the way out however Reion notices at tapestry "Aleind Look!" She yells at the Aleind who's leaving. Aleind ignores her and carries on.

Reion decides to read the tapestry unlike him. It tells the take of a goddess of light and a god of dark the two were in love and had a child, the child was a blue giant dragon, and was able to create dragons at will.

He made these dragons in such a way that made them impossible to make extinct yet easy to hunt. Dragons became a food source for the world and the God was known as the God of dragons.

"Hmm strange I've never heard of them though I'm not surprised!" Reion says in response. "REION COME ON!" Aleind yells from the temple stairway.

Reion catches up and attempts to tell aleind what she read but he's uninterested

Once they're out they notice its night and they hear a sound from behind a familiar loud voice. "HAHAHA IT SEEMS YOU'VE BEEN TO WORK ALEIND!" The voice says the two turn around and find Ghirahim on top of the dungeon. "OH IT SEEMS YOU'VE GAINED A FRIEND AS WELL ALEIND. WHAT WAS YOUR NAME….REION? I THINK..AH SORRY ABOUT THE VILLAGE BUT I'VE GOT MY JOB TO DO!" He says pointing at Reion.

The two quickly get into battle positions. "OH..I'm not here to fight!" He says in response "I'm just checking in in you two!" Ghirahim adds preparing to leave. "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!" reion yells at him. "I was trying to find something and we'll I found it!" Ghirahim says "AND WHAT DOES THAT THING DO EXACTLY!" Aleind yells "Five years ago!" Ghirahim starts to explain "five years ago the dark occult ruled the land Then the light occult took us down! Using that very sword you hold!" He says pointing angrily at Aleind. "Because of that day the God of darkness died" Ghirahim then looks up at the stars. "But two years later our greatest members found a way to revive him! All they needed was a vessel but then! The light occult raided the base and hid the body in one if their villages….that is what I was looking for!" Ghirahim says as he looks back at the two "maybe one day you'll understand why I've done it. And even then I know I won't be right. Maybe one day this twisted fate can escape this world!" He then leaves as quick and as fast as usual. Aleind and Reion in disgust yet intrigue leave the forest, and head to the direction of the next ray.
