Something lay festering in the heart of the dark realm. A slight thumping like a heartbeat could be heard from a distance. Its sinister red aura was spread over a hundred-foot radius and acted like a beacon for all nefarious creatures that dwelled in the dark realm.
They were gathering around it in swarms with their heads bowed down in submission. Waiting patiently for it to wake or command them. A sudden gust of wind blew and an ugly rotten face appeared from that festering heap. It shrieked: "Bring her to me, bring her to me now."
Serene's POV
I woke up with a jerk screaming. Ayrden rushed toward me and tried to calm me down. My heart was racing and I was drenched in my sweat. I looked at my surroundings in panic. Everything seemed normal, with no monsters or weird faces.
"Are you alright?" Ayrden asked me in a concerned voice. "Yes, it was just a nightmare." I tried to reassure her. "Do you always get nightmares?"
