As they made their way deeper and deeper into the underwater
cave, a small glow of light began to become visible in the distance. As
they approached closer, it looked to be a pool of water above them.
"This must be the entrance to the cave that Formeathan
talked about," Greylen whispered.
"It certainly looks like it," Garalt replied in a low
voice, "It doesn't look too bright in there, I hope we'll be able to see
if we have to defend ourselves."
"Well, you have your new shield at least," Greylen said,
looking up at the almost totally still water's surface above them.
"So you think you can get us through there?"
"The magic here seems to be actually very simple. I
don't know if such a great dragon such as Formeathan described would have
ANY problems getting through. In fact, I think we'd be able to pass
right through the magical barrier."
"Well, uhh... I guess... take us up, Greylen," Garalt
sighed uneasily. Greylen nodded.
The bubble began to rise, and as it broke the water's
surface above them, it began to disappear, until the two men were standing
on the edge of the pool in the darkness.
Suddenly a light shown down upon the
two knights, blinding them. Garalt raised his shield quickly and readied
his sword, trying to shield his eyes enough from the light to see it's source.
Garalt's eyes burned from the strength of the light, even with his
eyes shut, it was if they were open.
