"Well you still have legs don't you? Move!" Falk yelled as he sprinted up the path.

-
"Just saying magic would have made this easier!" He yelled as he sprinted behind Falk.
-
"Ya! So would a jet pack! Maybe one less meal! Keep running!" Falk yelled as Zane felt the cold nip at his feet.
-
"Il have you know I practically ate nothing today thank you very much!" He yelled as he sped up, and started to pass his friend.
-
The two continued their mad dash up, but the mist was gaining on them. It bit at their feet like a pack of wild animals as they sprinted up the slope. Eventually they reached the top, where they were met with a long cavernous hallway. But, the mist was still on their tail. "This way!" Falk declared as he ran down the hall.
-
"This better not lead to a dead end!" He exclaimed as he sprinted behind.
-
"You and me both Zane!" Falk agreed as he sprinted with him. The two ran down the hall where they found themselves In a stone built room coated with ice. It was square in shape, and there was a door at the end of the room. The room itself seemed to look like a living quarters of some sort. It had old wood tables and chairs and desks for writing at. That being said the wood was frosted and frozen. Falk ran to the door, and reached for the knob. He turned it and pulled, but the door jammed and did not open. "Shit! It's frozen shut!"
-
"Move aside, il break it down!" He said as he readied a shoulder charge.
-
Falk moved out of the way, about five steps back from the door. He gestured for Zane to go for it.
-
He sprinted at the door and slammed into it with his shoulder with the force of his entire body.
-
The ice on the door shattered as he hit it, but the door itself hardly budged. "Oh shit. Hurry it up Zane!" Falk said as e pointed to the hallway behind them which had begun to fill with the mist.
-
He focused his aura around his fist and punched the door with a heavy blow.
-
The door shattered wide with his blow, and the splinters of wood flew around him as he removed the barricade from existence. As he looked ahead, he saw stone steps lead up to a smaller cavern.
-
"Common, we gotta keep moving. Pretty sure we're close now!"
-
Falk and Zane sprinted through the hall as the mist began to fill the room behind them. They found themselves spinrtimg up a curled staircase that went up to a larger platform. There, they saw a white orb. It looked like it was on fire but as they were in its presence they felt the chill of its temperature upon their skin. "That...that's it I guess." Falk said as he walked towards it. There seemed to be a collapsed box around the Orb which Zane spotted.
-
"That box, what do you think knocked it over?" He asked as he walked over to the object.
-
"I think.....Alex did." Falk told Zane as the twilight king reached for one side of the box and lifted it up. It was made of some form of seal, and Falk held it up against the Orb.
-
"Looks like it was made to contain something. Think that might just be that orb?"
-
The mist began to pour slowly into the room, and with that, Falk looked to Zane. "Well, let's close this thing up and see! Sooner rather then later!"
-
He went to close the sides of the massive box, the cold starting to affect him.
-
However as he and Falk closed the sides of the box, they found that the cold had subsided with each raise of a panel. The sides latched together suddenly, and then Falk reached for the lid and put it over the Orb. It latched as well, and suddenly the cold was gone. As the two looked to the doorway, they saw that the mist began to retract and subside until it dissipated completely. Falk raised his hand to his ear. "Hey! Distraction team! What's the-" Falk winced as Zane heard a series of voices bellow through Falk's ear drum. Falk turned off his earpiece when this happened. "Yep. It worked that's for sure. The blizzard is down!"
-
"Fantastic, what's our next step?"
-
"Your demise, you pathetic worms." A voice echoed through the caverns. It was all too familiar, and it's low gruff tone made Falk's blue skin turn red with anger. It was Tywin Coldbourne. [spoiler]end of chapter [/spoiler]
