The thing above is a crucible. Also, some of this of this chapter will be inspired off of a comment made by VibeChan 

POV: Leo 

I kept on pushing forward. Since I didn't know which way was back, did I really have a choice? I've gone through Satan knows how many doors at this point. All of them have led into hallways with MORE DOORS!! "If I see one more hallway filled with doors I swear." I opened another door. I do have one thing to say about what happened in there, I almost shit my pants. 

There were no doors in this hallway. It wasn't even a hallway. It was a room. At the back wall there was a crucible. It was glowing blue with white flames rising from it. Pulled to it in a way, I walked over to it. With out thinking, I plunged my hand into the white flames.

What I saw next wasn't a vision, but wasn't complete nonsense either. I saw flashes for images and words that weren't my own flowed though my brain. As I watched the flashes the same words echoed over and over again, invading my mind and mouth as I spoke them, committing them to memory:

Septem from the low 

 Septem that are hallowed 

 Will rise to defeat a shadow

The last will look upon the Abyss 

 There she shall go amiss

It shall be on the day that the sky burns with fire 

 The child of darkness shall set sexa years afire

When the day comes that the sky burns with fire, 

 A broken heart shall cause sexa years of war. 

 When what is blue turns red, 

 A contract shall usher forth an eternal dread.

What seems good is not, 

But not all bad is evil.

  The voice stopped. The flashes stopped. The words stopped. I still managed to remember them all. One line cought my eye especially: When what is blue turns red. What in the Spiritual realms could that even mean? Well, that's a good question, what does ANY of it mean? I thought to myself, "I have got to go and find the others." With that I went back into the hallway filled with doors that lead to more hallways.

•••••••••••••

I had been opening doors for what's felt like forever. I couldn't find any sign of the others. I opened another door. It was another hallway, but there were no doors. I looked in it. At the end of the hallway there were two figures. Two girls by the looks of it. I walked closer to see if it was someone I knew. 

It wasn't.

They both had green bushy hair, yellow eyes, and their wings weren't Demon or Angel. They looked like a parrot's wings. They were twins. I stepped a bit closer, maybe they knew the way out? I asked them, "Do you guys know where I am?" When they spoke they did so at the same time, "You have lost your friends?" I took a step back, "Well I wouldn't quite call Scorpio a friend, but yes." They stepped closer, "Are you looking for a Gemstone Twin?" I wasn't sure who they meant. They slowly started walking closer to me saying over and over again, "The Gemstone Twins may be here now, but we were here before and we'll be here last. Gem And Nye will finish on top." 

They had almost reached me when I bolted for the door. I kept on running. I didn't bother to look if they were following. I was running when I found another figure. I kept a safe distance. This one had red hair that looked like a lions mane, a cat tail, and cat ears. When he turned I gasped. 

It was me.

I was paralyzed where I was. He walked closer. His eyes were the same color as mine, only like a cat's. When he spoke, it sounded like my voice, but with more of a rumble to it, "Lion, they call you. Ha! More of a kitten. A coward, a follower, weak. All the things that are expected of you in the stars have fallen short. You may be here now, but I was here first and I will be here after." He whispered the last thing in my ear. He walked the the end of the hallway, "Oh, and you and I now look nothing alike." With a flick of his hand, I was pulled to a door.

I opened it. I almost fell to the floor with relief. It was Sagi and Scorpio. I ran to them and hugged them. Sag hugged me back, surprised. And Scorpio tried to pull away, hitting the back of my head several times.

When I let them go, they had confused looks on their faces. "Leo?", they both said at the same time. I nodded my head slowly, "Yeah! It's me! Why do you guys look so confused?"

They led me to a mirror on the wall.

Oh.

That explains it.

This one is shorter than the others but I think it's a perfect place to stop. Bye!
