Apocalypse “Ugh.” I sighed, feeling nauseated of all the flower gardens this place has and sick of hearing those filthy birds sing all day. Scowling, I walked toward the edge of the forest. Feeling the cold air made me wish for more despair in it. It already felt like a heavy burden. I need the chaos to spread, to create destruction. Only then will the madness give me some rest. It’s getting harder to control. As soon as the thought passed through my head, it throbbed. Massaging my temples, I walked past the tree edge and entered the forest.

I nod and walk past him, Ave grabs my hand and pulls me with her, "Abi, it's beautiful, look," she points to the lit aquarium.

The blood seal on her neck burned bright, spreading like roots burrowing deep into her flesh. She heard whispers—thousands of voices at once—singing in her mind like a choir of angels and demons intertwined. “Daughter of black blood…” “You have called us…” “You are the key… the path home begins with you…” Evelyn screamed, clutching her head. A searing pain tore through her mind—and then everything went black. --- When she opened her eyes again, she stood in an alien world. The Primordial Abyss.

Alex moaned in pain, his voice was barely above a whisper, and it only took a sensitive ear to hear him. “Alpha, this is not any random cavern,” Yara replied, with so much panic and terror in her voice. “Then where are we?” I asked her, my voice so impatient and angry. “My lady, I’m afraid we have fallen into the underground of the world, the region where the roots of the world tree touch the deepest section of the earth.
