to the Isle of Avalir. But the wheels of her original plan were already turning, and she couldn’t stop the momentum for the journey to Avalir. If only she could slow events until she found the Grail.

Changing the direction of the advance through the northern passes would lengthen the move into Bretagne by…

what I was down here with. So I began yelling “HELLO?, HELLOOOO?”. There was no response. I was now waving my flashlight around to hopefully get even the slightest glimpse of what I had saw a few minutes ago. While I was looking for the mysterious shadow, I noticed a few things about my intimidating location. First I saw a few rusted paint buckets that were surrounded by cobweb, along with that I saw sets of old wooden shelves holding garden tools that my father would soon put in the new…

I’ve been here for hours. I can feel their eyes on me, their big gray eyes gazing over every inch of my body. I’ve been pretending to be asleep, waiting for morning, for help, something anything. Wait I think I may be getting ahead of my self here. It all started about two days ago. I collect gummy bears. I have ones in every shape, size, flavor and brand from all over the world. Unfortunately, there are still a couple of brands I have not gotten and one flavor. Normally I go on eBay to look for…

became brighter and brighter. This light was a pure white, bright, almost blue energetic light. One day the light was so bright there was no darkness to be seen, only white brightness. In the center of this bright energetic light began to form a faint shadow of a human form. The human form could be seen dancing around, jumping, hopping, and skipping every day. After many, many days the human form slowed in its dancing, jumping, hopping and skipping. The form could be seen sitting with head in…

won’t waiting for me outside. I knew which option I preferred. I’d had enough of the dark, so I gathered my nerve and padded through the muddled shafts. No matter how quiet I was, the deep, gaping shadows around me seemed to grow larger and more forbidding. I was painfully aware of rock formations jutting out like bones, dark gnarled crystals protruding like fingers from walls.
