Their whole attention was on those two pillars, everyone was waiting to see that water like Vortex of years ago appear again. Their heart were in their throat and their minds on the race already.
Torak could not help but gloat at their scared expressions, his expression too was on the pillar he was waiting to see his master come through that gate with armies looking valiant and ready to crush everyone in their way. An army was indeed coming but they were armies of angels waiting to send his soul to hell where it belonged. There was no more second chance for him, if only he had known...
While their attention was on the pillars, the ground at Torak's back suddenly caved in and a worm looking demon beast jumped suddenly. They were all shocked to see this beast, naturally if the gate had being opened where this beast would have come from was from between those two pillars and not from the floor like it had did.
