[i]"Without a doubt. If a Guardian can wield it, then no enemy of the Light can." The ground shook violently then, forcing the both of them to their knees. Polaris grabbed his Bad Juju just before it fell off the edge, and the Titan's corpse slipped off the side of the walkway. Suddenly a great, giant wave of brown suddenly started to arise from the pit in front of both Polaris and Phoebe, each foot it moved creating a grinding sound so powerfully loud that it forced the glass of his helm to shatter into thousands of tiny fragments. The creature awakened; The Knight was upon them. Hundreds of feet tall was an understatement for the Colossus, with giant tentacles of green wrapped around its impossibly thick plates, binding them like clasps to its armour. A single, glowing eye of green caustic energy stared out at them, seeping down its face in years bigger than even the platform they stood on. It grabbed it's blade, which was easily as tall as it, and effortlessly used it to knock the base of the platform. The walkway fell out between both Phoebe and Polaris, but it remained floating in the air; It was slowly descending, not fast enough to kill them but certainly enough to plunge both of them into darkness. [/i] [u]Some time later... [/u] [i]The platform reached the bottom of the pit just then. Darkness swept through it and cascaded them in a blanket of evil, the Light from their Ghosts easily suppressed. They could feel it in their bones, each step they took off the platform draining them slightly of their energy. In the distance was a rather large Shrine - The question is, did Phoebe wish to visit it, or try to find something else? [/i] [spoiler][i]"...Down the rabbit hole Alice went, never once thinking as to how she would get back up..." [/i][/spoiler]

She grasped her Dark-Drinker, tightly. "I'm scared," she admitted. She was terrified. What madness made her come here.

[i]"Don't be. We don't have time for fear." Polaris pushed onwards to the shrine. It was maybe fifteen feet tall, with a floating orb on top of a waist-high shrine. The catch - Only Phoebe saw the green glow of the orb. [/i]

She followed, she was terrified. She clutched her sword woth great fear.

[i]Polaris looked around, but the orb only called to Phoebe. It was like it was whispering her name, waiting to be touched. [/i]

She went to the orb. "What do you want from me?" She asked.

[i][b]"Be cautious, Guardian, for the Light can become easily corrupted otherwise." [/b] The orb spoke almost like it knew Phoebe - It had a familiarity about it, one that nobody could recognize. Another shrine was lit in the distance as this one faded out; [b]It called to her again[/b]. [/i]

She wanted to touch the orb, but she didn't. "My light..." She repeated, she stepped back from the orb."

[i]"What of it?" Polaris asked, as he started to approach the other orb. [/i]

She stepped away from the orb, "It's not something I'll let become corrupt. Only madmen do that."

[i]"Then don't? What sparked this?" [/i]

"I d-don't k-know," she would reply, shivering.

[i]"Let's just keep moving. That's the best way to both get out of here and get power." [/i]

She wandered away from the orb.

[i]...Which put her into more Darkness and away from Polaris. [/i]

She tried to summon a ball of fire to see.

[i]The fireball gave clarity to her surroundings, but not much. She would see runes upon the floor. [/i]
