It was a dark place with nothing but the light of the lantern to guide them to they're path..

Men in white robes was seen crossing the path to a old wooden bridge.

" High Priest, i dont think the bridge is stable enough to support multiple people at a time.

The high priest was an old man in his eightties

He is none other than the leader of this group of people in white robes and was the very same people that helped summoned the heroes to this world.

" Cross the bridge with two people at a time "

The high priest ordered.

Following his instructions two of the white robes people slowly crossed the old bridge .

They balanced they're movements as the bridge wiggled and jiggled like your mothers ass.

" Woa " one of the white robe people crossing the bridge was suddenly out of balanced as he hold on the the ropes of the old bridge while his upper body was face into whats beneath the old bridge .

" Careful " his companion said.

On the other hand the man who lost his balanced seemed to noticed something from bellow.

" Something shiny is down there. " He commented.

" What shin- "

BANG*

Suddenly the head of his companion who lost his balanced exploded to oblibvion as his headless body fell beneath the old bridge.

" Ah.. AUHHH! " He screamed as the rest of the group wondered what happene.

Due to the lack of light they were not able of see anything but only a flash of light.

" Were under attack.. WERE AMBUSHED " The high priest shouted.

As the remaining men in white robes circled around the high priest preparing to defend him with they're lives.

" Protect the high priest at all cost " a young man said.

This was none other than the right hand of the highpriest.
