*Saoirse*
Darkness was pressing in around me as we fell through whatever portal Pyroth had conjured. I couldn't see anything. I only felt the sensation of falling endlessly. Fear gripped me as I tried to focus on keeping myself calm. Suddenly, a blinding light pierced through the darkness.
My fingers scraped against the cold, hard ground as we landed with a thud. Blinking rapidly to adjust to the sudden dimness, I could make out the massive silhouette of Pyroth looming over me.
Squinting against the sudden brightness, I saw that we were in an open field. Although, I doubted it had always been such.
"Welcome to my domain, girl.”
Was this… the Dragon Realm? This wasn’t at all like Axureon had described. Left unchecked, Pyroth had turned a beautiful realm filled with wondrous magic into a wasteland. He had destroyed it, leaving nothing but devastation in his wake.
I shouldn’t have been surprised. It was how he was handling his campaign in Egoren as well.
