Trial

Darius was filled with fear. He looked around to see that he was in a dungeon filled with Skeleton Warriors who could end him. 

"What in the world is going on here?!" Darius avoided all the attacks coming his way, he was trying to make sure he would not get hit. "I must be dreaming all this has to be a dream and I will wake up from it soon." 

Darius kept running. He dodged the skeleton warriors' attacks and noticed that they were trying to hit him down. 

'Wait a minute, I don't know how it was possible to get here. Is it because I ignored the screen?' Darius looked at the warriors, he dodged another swing from a warrior. 

Darius looked down to see a skeletal blade by the side, he didn't know what he was going to do but the screen left a message. It told him to make sure he survived. 

"Here goes nothing!" Darius picked up the blade and tried to block the warrior's blade, he noticed that once his blade hit theirs it shattered it. 

He was shocked that there was something that he could do with a blade. 

'What in the world is going on?' Darius was shocked to see what he was doing, he didn't know he had the strength to even shatter a blade. Another skeletal warrior came closer and Darius using the blade hurled it across the room. 

"Ha! in your face!" Darius yelled, feeling happy that he was able to do something with the blade in his hands. "I know with this I will be able to take down these monsters." 

But the skeleton warriors weren't some kind of pushovers, they were beasts that moved at a different speed and accuracy. But one problem was, that they were neither living nor dead. Their Skeletal form made it hard for warriors to even think of coming close to them, knowing that they would lose their lives once they thought of doing anything. 

Darius was trying his best to make sure he didn't fall into their blade, he was trying his best as he threw in the world did I end up here? So this means that the screen wasn't a joke and this means that.' Darius was about to put one and two together when a Skeleton warrior wanted to bash his head with a club. 

He dodged it, he began running to the walls as he had flashbacks of what happened after he had landed on the altar back in the Dungeon. A screen had appeared in front of him, he was not sure what it meant but it told him to be the host to something named Ashran and he would be healed. 

"That was what happened and I knew that I was not dreaming about it but then how in the world did that thing have the power to bring me here what is going on?!" Darius thought to himself as he kept trying his best to make sure that nothing was going to let the monsters get drop on him.

"I wish there was a way for me to able to see that screen or get a glimpse of what I am dealing with." Darius sighed as he tried to make sure that there was no way for him to understand what was going on around him.

"NOTICE, Host has around nine minutes for him to survive the penalty." A voice rang in Darius' head, he was not sure what or who it belonged to but he was sure that there was a good chance the voice was part of the screen he had been seeing.

"Hello, what is this? What are you and why are you in my head?!" Darius asked, he was not sure it would respond to him but he was going to give it a try to make sure that there was nothing going to confuse him further.

"NOTICE: two more minutes remaining." The Voice announced again. It was not going to talk to Darius, and it was a bit frustrating for Darius to know that there was nothing he could do to stop the voice from leaving.

"Damn it, this thing won't stop counting down." Darius was looking at the screen and he saw ten seconds remaining for his penalty. 'I don't know what is going on here, but I know this is connected to the light I saw at the dungeon after I almost passed out. I need to find out what this is and why it's in me.'

Darius stood there as the skeletal warriors closed up on him, he didn't move he stood there looking at them. It was like he wanted to make sure that they would hit them and he was not going to do anything about it.

"NOTICE: TIMES UP. Returning Host Back to his room." The voice said before a bright light lit up where Darius stood he was not even sure what was going to happen and the next thing he saw was himself being transported back to the hospital room.

Darius was sweating heavily and he had no idea how he was going to be able to explain what had happened. He was still a bit stunned that something like that happened to him just so out of the blue and there was no way he would be able to explain to anyone what had happened.

'There is something odd going on here and I don't understand what it is, but all this started when I saw that screen in front of me. I know that I am the only one who can see it and hear this voice in my head but there is something else to it.' Darius looked at his hand, he remembered how he was able to take down the skeletal warrior's attack and he was not even hurt much.

'It feels like I have gotten a boost and I don't know how far this is going to take me but I feel this is the start of something a bit different. I can use this power to make sure that nothing is going to happen to Lena.' Darius was not going to let anything happen to his sister and he was going to make sure that whatever it was that made him feel strong he would use it to his advantage and he would make sure that nothing would stop him from saving his sister.
