A mysterious dark force... Insane... Could that be the poison? If the Chimera was writing this... Could the Chimera be poisoned? ....Was this where the poison would hide if not sucked into the portal that the Cerberus was guarding? Oh no... I felt very worried about everything.

Echo and Lucy looked confused, but curious at the same time at me. "Can you understand that, Shadow?" Echo asked me.

"What's wrong? You seemed worried." Lucy asked, knowing that I was indeed, worried.

I decided that the only way to find out if it was the poison, or the Chimera, is if we looked for them.. There had to be a hidden area in such a big open space..

Without saying anything to Lucy or Echo, I began searching for the hidden area..

Somewhere... Somewhere... I thought.

I began looking on the ground.. Could there be some sort of lever? Was I missing something? While thinking these things, like the clumsy wolf I am, I crashed into one of the walls of the cave.. But, that lead to a good thing.. The wall that I crashed into, right next to it, bloomed a new opening to another part of the cave.

Echo and Lucy stated at me in disbelief, for they had seen nothing like it. They both rushed over to me, still in shock, but they were both happy at the same time.

"Hm. Me being clumsy actually lead to something good, this time." I said, in a happier tone. Was there an invisible lever? Who knows, I would come back to that later. I had to go with whatever was thrown at me for now.. I still had to save that creature.

I ran into the entrance to the new and darkened area, where my midnight form, was consumed with even more darkness.. But I felt something more than Lucy, Echo, and myself with me.. I felt a pair of eyes watching our every move.
