The Second Realm II

Watching the dark aura retreat back to where it came from, Regius turned to Alec.

"Bro, let's get out of here. I can't handle this dark aura anymore. I even learned to wield the law of darkness alongside you just so we could dispel it, but I think our knowledge is still not sufficient to confront it yet. Let's come back another time to break the seal."

Alec shook his head, his gaze serious. He had come here for one purpose and would not leave until it was accomplished.

He hadn't expected to find Regius in this dark, gloomy place that even the universe had forgotten about, but the elf's presence had been a great help to him.

"No, let's try one more time. We are very close to breaking the seal, and just now I sensed someone interfering with the aura following us. That presence felt familiar; I think it's someone we know."

His eyes widened, and he shouted.

"Kyle? Was it you? Answer!"
