Finally they made it to the tunnel. "Luke, light please." Vannesa said.

Luke made a burning flame in his palm. He forcefully tried to make it brighter in exchange for heat from the flame.

"It worked!" Luke said excitedly. He had never done that before. They continued down.

"The City of Lights, the emperor’s city, is close now." Vannesa said.

"Great! Oh, how much time left before the ritual is launched?" Luke asked.

"Only a week," Vannesa said.

"Hm. We can do it in that time, right?" Luke said.

"The City of Lights is a couple hours away. From there the emperor's castle is about a day away. Finding out where the guards are so we can successfully infiltrate will probably take two days. So we have four free days. BUT if the emperor launches the ritual early…" Vannesa didn’t finish her sentence.

Stolen story; please report.

"Then that’s trouble," Luke finished.

"Getting the ritual set up SHOULD take that long, but we shouldn’t wait around until the last minute." Vannesa answered firmly.

"Alright. We get to the city of lights, head straight for the emperor’s castle, and then we learn the locations of the guards, and then finally infiltrate." Luke said. Vannesa nodded.
