As Axel's fire raged, the letters within the rings began to float off of the ground and swirl around him.
This seems familiar...He thought.
Iris stood back as she couldn't reach him due to the flames kicking up within the circles. "Axel! Get out of there!" She yelled. She could sense the energy wrapping around him and knew something bad was about to happen.
Suddenly Axel felt himself being yanked off into a distant void, leaving the room and Iris far behind. The all too familiar trippy feeling of dimensional travel washed over him as he was transported through a vortex of energy to parts unknown.
He opened his eyes again as the world tried to decide which orientation it wanted to be for him. He fell over backwards from dizziness and gave his body a chance to catch up. Axel looked around and was struck with a very odd sensation of dejavu.
He found himself laying in the middle of a stone ravine and the smell of blood was thick in the air.
