Scene 1
We reached near the mountain range. DA said, "vehicle can't be useful onwards, let's walk."
Lia whispers to Carter, "Sir, why are we bringing him along?".
Carter replied, "How would I know? Ron said he has the cure for that ageing gas or something like that."
We reached our destination. We found a bag; it looked like someone entered. According to our information, the ageing gas starts after a few minutes.
We rushed inside. After a few minutes, we found someone lying on the ground. After seeing his wound. I was about to touch him, DA caught my hand and said,
"Here, monster a deadly and poisonous, his wounds look like he was bitten by a monster. This will soon turn him into a monster. Here monsters are like animals but they are cursed. And they can changer their sizes as well."
DA took out an injection out of nowhere and treated it to that guy.
We took him back and left him outside, while Lia called the department to take him. Carter said, "Let split into two groups to cover more ground."
I looked at Lia, it looked like she wanted to go with Carter. So, we split into two groups, Me aka Ron and DA, Carter and Lia.
From the entrance there were two ways, right and left. We found that wounded guy on the left way. So, I and DA headed to the left while Carter and Lia headed towards the right.
Before heading different ways, DA gave each of us three injections. We took it and began our journey.
Scene 2
Carter and Lia went the right way; on the way they found many monsters and killed them. They started to feel the ageing gas; Carter was focused and walking. While Lia was asking questions about his favorite food, drink etc.
Carter and Lia cleared the first floor easily. As the door to the next floor opened, they entered a circle on the floor, the circle teleported to the next floor. They started walking. They were again met by a few monsters, but they wiped the monsters easily. The monster were a lot stronger than the previous. They also encountered a dragon.
Lia thought that this might be their last meeting, she knew about the ageing gas, dangerous monsters and other traps. She remembered the day of their graduation. She wanted to tell Carter how she felt but couldn't say anything. Then Carter moved elsewhere after their graduation.
She gathered courage asked him, "Sir, do you have someone you like?"
"NO" Carter replied without a second thought." Lia felt happy from inside, Carter looked back at her and asked, "Do you have someone you like?"
"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked". Carter turned forward and started walking. Lia caught hold of his shirt from the back. Carter also stopped. She was trembling as she said,
"Yes, I have someone I like. I have known him since my childhood. Many girls in our school liked him; he was very popular and liked by everyone. Still, he'd talk to a loner like me. I wanted to tell him as soon as possible, I got a chance to tell him at our graduation, but I couldn't gather my courage. Then he left the country and moved somewhere else. I met him again recently a few years ago. And you know what, he still remembers me. We have gone on many missions together."
Carter's eyes widened. He was about to say something. But a large group of second floor monsters attacked them. They started to fight, but because of the ageing gas their movements were little out. And the monsters were stronger, more agile and more poisonous.
At the beginning, Carter and Lia were easily wiping them with their swords. But now both have started to use their powers. Evil thoughts started to haunt Lia. What if one of die here? What if Carter turns into a monster. What if...
She started to panic. Carter noticed it. He caught her from the hand and ran. After running for a while, they hid somewhere. Lia was still panicking. Carter was thinking that something wasn't right with her.
Carter noticed his "Mental Barrier" ability was in use. Then, Carter found the reason for her panic. Ageing gas isn't the only thing here, mind control gas and other types of gases are also here.
Scene 3
Ron and DA also wiped the first floor and reached floor no. 2. Ron thought he knew about all the risks and ageing gas, but he wasn't getting its effects. While the gas was affecting DA. But something was wrong here.
[FOURTH WALL HAS BLOCKED THE AGEING GAS AND MIND CONTROL GAS]
"Fourth Wall? Like in fiction. But we never heard about other gases here?" Ron thought.
DA said, "As we go to high levels this place becomes more dangerous. Ageing gas is in effect, the higher the floor stronger the ageing gas. But there are also other traps. You can sense it. Mind control gas was not on the first floor; it's on the second floor. As we go to higher floors the number of gases will increase, like on the next floor with ageing and mind control gas there'll be one more. I wonder, how are Carter and Lia doing."
While running from those monster, Carter found a cave headed downwards. Carter entered the cave, to escape from those monster, but he found a coffin. A coffin surrounded by many candles. It was like graves of Dracula in movies.
Carter and Lia hid themselves, Carter calmed Lia. Suddenly, they heard a sound, a sound of the coffin opening. Carter and Lia looked at the coffin, then they blacked out.
