A Quest For Power

Shade and the others were led to a secret palace just beneath the ruined town. It had taken them a total of thirty minutes to get there. According to Madame Greece, this would be where Shade would undergo his test.

Shade calmly looked around, observing the palace. It was mostly bathed in darkness with a few black pillars extending towards the ceiling. The floor was covered in mossy green tiles and a subtle scent of smoke was present in the air.

"Kyro is the only one who will be allowed to go beyond this point," began Madame Greece. "He has to complete this quest with his own power."

"Will he be okay?" Asked Arora.

"That depends on his conviction. He has to complete a total of two tests if he wishes to succeed. If he fails, then there's a chance that he will never return."

A moment of silence then proceeded. It was evident that whatever Shade was about to do would be quite dangerous. However, Shade had no intention of backing down. He knew he needed to become stronger.
