Crystal: So this is the place?

Camilla: Yep. Trust me. She will help you find out why you joined forces with my former boyfriend. Anyways, see you soon.

Camilla then left leaving Crystal alone by herself. She then opened the door and head in the lab.

Inside the lab was pitch black.

Crystal: Hello? Is there anyone there?

Crystal looked around in the dark lab to see if someone or anyone was there. Then all of a sudden, a pair of lavender eyes and a glowing sky blue circle started staring at her which caused her to be both shocked and scared.

Crystal; (Shocked and Scared): AAAAAAHHHHHH!

She then took some steps back only to trip on a potion bottle and fell backwards on her back.

???: Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you.

Crystal: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!

???: No need to be hostile. Let me turn on the light so you can see me better.
