As the words at the bottom of Jason's heart echoed, a warm flow rose from his stomach.
The night, grew ever deeper.
The darkness, so thick you couldn't see your hand in front of you, enveloped everything before Jason's eyes.
Faint sounds began to appear in his ears.
At first, they were barely discernible.
But just a second or two later, these sounds became clear.
They were footsteps.
And they sounded like the flapping of wings.
They also resembled the sounds of crawling creatures winding their way forward.
In Jason's perception, they were getting closer.
Then, about a meter away, they stopped.
Because specks of light began to appear.
Very familiar specks of light.
They were the power of "Protection Against Evil".
But unlike before, where the specks were like fireflies, now they were starting to gather together.
They connected, forming larger patches of light.
