The townsfolk looked on in horror as the shadow forces grew in numbers around the town. They seemed to flow in from every direction. Suddenly a strange purple energy formed around Tou-Tou, completely surrounding the town. There was no escape now. Any false calm the townspeople had been showing was instantly washed away and replaced with massive fear.

“We must not panic,” Xao Fen told the few remaining people.

As the magical energy stretched up into the sky, Xao Fen turned to see fires being set ablaze around the edge of town. Shadowy clouds and purple haze then began to fill the air. The confusion and chaos was becoming over-whelming.

“Asheron will come. He will save us,” he reassured everyone.

Xao clutched his stomach. A pain was rising. Not just within Xao, but within all of the remaining townspeople. The agony was intense. Their world quickly darkened. As they looked around they could still see pieces of their town. The statue, the well, even the signs were still there. Everything else was simply a sea of black.

The pain continued to grow. It felt as if they were burning from the inside out. They wanted to run, to try and escape, but whatever was happening prevented them from even moving. They had no idea if anyone was out there, if they were all alone.

The Umbral Guard rushed toward Isin Dule with great urgency.

“Tou-Tou has been fully besieged. A vortex has opened up at the edge of town. It appears as if Tou-Tou is being pulled into the shadows,” the guard informed Isin Dule.

“Then they have begun. They are attempting to pull Bael’zharon back to the surface,” Isin Dule said. “Let us hope those souls who are still in Tou-Tou find mercy. Inform Asheron immediately that we can wait no longer. We must act.”

“At once,” replied the guard.

“I shall be gathering my forces outside of Tou-Tou. Have him meet me there,” Isin Dule ordered.

The Umbral Guard nodded before leaving the room quickly. Isin Dule turned to peer out of the window.

“The pain of corruption spreads quickly. We must act immediately or those people will become that which they fear most,” he said to himself.
