Embers mouth nearly dropped open when she heard the beast talk. Se looked down at the canopy that the had arrived at, and dropped down to it. "T-thank you." She said shakily, looking up at it with confused eyes.

The beast nodded "there will be 7 other guardians, each reacting to you in different ways" it began moving back down "I shall bring up your friend" it said dropping to the bottom

Chris looked at this thing in awe then heard what it said "That would be nice thank you very much" He said giving an Innocent smile

The beast grabbed Chris and started back up the side "You have something unique about you, don't you?" It asked placing Chris on top of its head and used both arms to climb quickly reaching the canopy

Ember gazed down from the side of the volcano, watching as the beast brought Chris up. She frowned a little, wondering what she had gotten herself into by doing this.

"Yep! I have special blood that can heal anything and anyone!" he then frowned "people think it makes me insane, But really they just use that to cover up the fact that I know every truth and lie about the world that the voices tell me!" He said smiling

The beast reached the top and set Chris down on the canopy with Ember "There are many like you Chris, but not with the same scenario" it said the color on its skin began changing back to the purplish color "your next challenge inside deals with anger, the boy can relate to it well" it said as it literally dropped down to the ground and embedded itself to hide with the wall color fading

Ember frowned. "Anger?" She echoed his words. "I think you need to deal with that one. My patients isn't as good as yours." She admitted to Chris.

He smiled "My patients is sooooo good because I have to deal with..." he cleared his throat "Idiots, Guards, Tratiors, random beasts that want me flesh, People who want my blood, Vampires who want my blood in a different way, And the worse of all myself" he took in some deep breaths then continued on

in the wall along the volcano on top of the canopy looked like a hatch the lead down to a cellar of a barn but it was matched with the dark grey color of the volcano

Ember noticed the hatch and walked over to it. She reached out for the handle, but hesitated. "Maybe... you should go in first." She said, glancing back at Chris.

He smiled "Okay!" he said putting his thumb up and then opening the hatch and jumping down, Landing on his feet

The hatch led to a dark chamber, pitch black there was an old torch sitting at Chris's feet when he landed all that was needed was something to light it. A faint stomping was heard circling Chris and a faint glow seen in the distance of the dark chamber as well

Chris felt for some rocks, he then started smacking and rubbing them on each other to create a spark and then hoped it would light

The faint light grew closer to Chris and so did the stomping and after a few steps a clicking noise started and became constant as it grew louder

Chris turned to the sound of the foot steps "Ok ok you don't need to try and scare me" He then lit the torch to see what he was facing

The beast looked like a Scorpion with a double ended tail, the pincers twice the size of its head and the stinger was equally so it was one fourth the size of the room and its tail seemed to be where most of its glow was not to mention the glow was an orange red color

Ember had followed Chris down the hatch, staying close behind him as he walked. Her ears were straight up on her head, trying to detect any noise. When the foot steps sounded, she started to look around wildly, then when the creature emerged, her breath hitched and she took a step back.

The large scorpion like beast began approaching the two slowly its pincers opened and the tail moved side to side deciding which of the two to sting first

He could tell their was aggression in this thing, He then took a deep breath and began to approach the Scorpion thing and stood up straight to make himself look bigger, And to show he was not afraid "Im not here to fight, We are not here to harm you"
