Trapped In A Dark Tower III
The long bricked corridor which led to another door with a strong, dark aura surrounding it. A loud eerie creek pierced through the silence as the door moved open by itself. The other side of the opening was an unsightly trail of bones and skeletons lying along the ancient staircase. The absence of sound showed no life in this place and the air around me was nothing but the smell of death.
"These are caused by Shades. They suck the life out of you to amplify their dark powers and lengthen their lives. It looks like there are many of them here... The light will attract them." My partner, the man who freed me from the Thousand-Year Seal put out the flame torch as he spoke. Until now I till don't know his name, he wouldn't tell me.
We went up the steep steps quietly and carefully in the dense darkness, hoping not to bump into one of those Shades that he spoke about. Not a sound was heard in this place, our breaths and footsteps are the only noises echoing through this endless passage of steps. Suddenly, I felt an evil presence behind me, it was hungry and I could feel my heart beat faster by the second. I turned around quickly, but there was nothing there.
"Whats wrong?" he asked softly as I stared into the darkness, trying to see if it was a monster. Then, a skull of an animal rolled down the steps from the far top end of the staircase. My partner quickly lit up the flame torch with his power and shouted, "Run! They're coming for us!" A dark spirit with a black hood covering its face appeared. It was the same presence I felt before, the dark trail of aura followed its back as it drifted towards me.
It reached out its old scrawny looking, translucent hand towards my face as my heart pumped faster. I could feel my life force slowly weakening as it neared me. My legs were still, they wouldn't move at all, it was as if they are rooted in the ground by a spell. Desperate to escape, my partner waved the torch in its face and it backed off a little, giving me a chance to make a dash.
The Shade was furious and summoned more of those spirits as we ran up the impossibly long stairway. The shades were fast, they constantly caught up to us but the only thing that was separating them from us is the little torch that my partner was holding. Finally we reached the top end, and it was yet another old antic door.
He went up first and kicked the door open that led us to an empty room with another yet another door to break. The flame of the torch became smaller and the light became dimmer as we scrambled across the room. The number of shades increased dramatically, and they were all thirsty for our souls. It was hard to break the door now, since there was a magic talisman embedded on the hard wood.
"Hurry, draw your sword and destroy that door!" I screamed as the dark shades floated nearer to us. "I'm not powerful enough to break this curse, it's all up to you now, only you can break this door!" His voice was firm and his unwavering eyes were looking into mine as if he was telling me that he trusts me. Some how, I have seen them before, those beautiful eyes that could see right through my heart. "I believe in you!"
My memories were still locked away, but nevertheless I faced the door and drew my sword. I closed my eyes and everything became black. I could hear my own heart beating and a single voice mumbling something in my head. I tried to catch what it was saying, but it was soft and gentle. It felt almost like it was my own sword who was talking. I focused more on my sword, and the low murmurs grew louder slowly.
A single white light appeared in my head, and it shown brightly just like the sun. The light grew larger as the murmurs became louder, the strange power within me burst forth as my eyes opened. A blindingly bright, white aura emitting from my sword lightened up the entire room. the shades backed off and merged themselves into the shadows to avoid the beaming glow.
The sound of my sword rang inside me, "Fight!" as I charged forth. I raised the sword and slashed the cursed talisman apart, followed by a huge force of wind and light shattering the door into uncountable pieces. The glow faded as I fell on my knees, with my body exhausted from that attack. Across the doorway I could see the light of the dawning sun shining through a window.
The shades reappeared behind as soon as I sheathed my sword. They flew towards us quickly, attempting to devour our vital force, but my partner grabbed my arm and sprinted to the opening. "Do you believe in me?" He asked calmly and held me in his arms as he leaped out of the window. "You are free now and I will be your proctor forever... My name is... ..."

Alright so this is my first journal entry in this website.. HURRAY! Well I'm just gonna make this quick and simple.. Cause I just returned from camp, more like i fell sick cause I couldn't sleep for a night so I ran home. LOL! But well I'm not all that evil so I decided that I'll return tomorrow (if I recover).
About the stories that I wrote, well.. It may seem like I don't have anymore to write but thats not it. I do have a hell lot of stuff to write, and they are all long stories.. Cause the dreams were long.. (12 hours of sleep since it's the holiday so yeah.. LOL) And I'm on holiday mode so I'm feel damn lazy and thats why I take a LONG time to write those out. Plus, I only write when I'm in the mood.
Well, just hopefully I get the awesome urge to write them out soon, and I shall work on finishing 'Trap In The Dark Tower lll'. Please wait for that, cause it's the juicy part of the story HAHA! Thanks for reading~

Trapped In A Dark Tower II
Awaken by strange voices of creatures, I opened my eyes and saw him staring down at me. "Are you alright?" He whispered to me softly. The dim light from the small flame torch could hardly show me his face which was half covered by the dark shadows. "Where am I...?" I looked around anxiously, not knowing anything about the outside world, for this is my first time outside the chamber where I was sealed for about a few hundred years. He was the one who released me, the mysterious man with me right now. "We have to go, I will set you free from here."
The voices of those beasts grew louder, he held my hand and dashed towards the bricked stairs. From the dim light I could see his long golden hair swayed from side to side with his movements. He was tall and well-build, and wore a black coat that made him seem even more secretive.
The deep low voices from those 'things' sounded as if they were moans of human beings. Out of curiosity, I turned head head and stole a glance of those monsters from the corner of my eye. I was horrified and stunned, for they were like human corpses dragging their bodies painfully towards us. They had purplish red decaying flesh, and some just lost their body parts. Others was so terrifying that they had their organs hanging out from their bodies, and all of them left trails of blood behind.
My hands began to tremble as I hasten my feet to get away from them quickly. He knew that I was scared as he felt my hand throb, and again, with his calm voice he told me to be strong. For the first time, I saw something that made me feel rather peaceful inside. It was his delicate smile.
We ended up at the top of the long ancient staircase, and stumbled upon a huge door with ancient letters embedded on it. He tried to force it open, but it just wouldn't budge. "They are coming! Hurry!" I screamed as the horde of zombies came closer to us. "Step aside, I'm going to release my sword." He grabbed the handle firmly and pulled out the blade from its sheath. The sword he had was completely different from mine, the sharp silver blade that glowed bright red at its edges and summoned a force of wild, uncontrollable energy.
The crimson glow then turned into flames that were almost as bright as the sun. He held up the blade and slashed the large door with an incredible strength, the flames became gigantic and devoured the door in an instant. The force of the powerful blow caused the zombies behind us to disintegrate into ashes immediately. The great door broke into an even half and collapsed with the raging flame.
The fire of the blade disappeared as he slide his sword into the sheath smoothly. He turned to me as I stared at him in awe, wondering where did he get that sort of power. Suddenly there was a flash back played in my mind, as if it was a memory from a long time ago. I was stunned for a while but his voice brought me back to reality. "We need to hurry, there are more of those things from where they came from." He grabbed my hand once again and made another run through the long corridor.
