Flipping the pages of the diary to the first page Amalia reads

"Reminder to self"

"They hide in the shadows"

"Gods in the darkness, Mortals at light"

"The light is your saviour"

"Let it go and death shall arrive"

Closing the the diary, Amalia looks up gazes at the towering walls of the City of Viscaris.

The moonlight making her flowing silver hair glimmer in the night.

Looking back the pathway to the city behind she sees spot a solid void of pitch black, gripping the lantern she carries tightly she stops walking to the city.

"Fireball"

She chants before a small ball of fire forms in her hand before throwing it to the darkness.

BOOM!

The fireball explodes on the void of darkness revealing the void creatures hiding within it, the fire spreading light around the area.

RAAAUGHH

The creatures scream out in pain, being hit with the fire and light.

The darkness scatters.

The monsters retreat.

Amalia looks around her surroundings one last time before continuing her way to the gates of the City of Vidcaris
