In the thicket of the immortal darkness, a small glow traveled slowly through its expanse. To its environment the little orange glow seemed microscopic.
Zooming closer to the scene, the microscopic orange dot was revealed to be a human sized flame ball. It was Calvin flying through the night endless abyss, below him was a similar sight.
Empowered by the yellow flames, Kyra ran towards the direction of the scream. It sounded human, Although Calvin dread anything human, he was curious to see what made such a sorrowful cry.
That curiosity began dieing when Calvin remembered the nature of his environment. Everything around him was dangerous. If time wasn't observed, even the entire chasm could be one huge abominable horror.
Lowering himself, he flew besides Kyra with equivalent velocity. " Are you sure about this. " He asked, " It could be one of my cohort's members, you'll never be sure. " She replied, " Didn't I tell you to waiting. "
" I don't listen to those type of orders, besides you are just my path finder nothing more. " For a subtle moment a change was found of Kyra's face before it immediately reverted.
" Well then, try to keep up. " She said accelerating instantly and leaving Calvin in a mist of thick dust. Unable to see, he crashed into a dead end; dropped to his face.
' Argh ' He groaned rising from the ground. Looking to his left and right, he meet nothing but darkness. Kyra herself was seen at a distance, only noticable because of her burning flame.
' How strong is that flame. ' he thought in awe.

Apart from Tactical Insight, the rest weren't useful to him at this point. The devil's whisper trait was just infinite forbidden knowledge packed in a single capability.
Problem was it meant more voices in his head.
Now he had chosen to listen to Azazel, Wrath itself. Unknown to him, his eyes glowed crimson. A surreal feeling coursed through his head, then the whisper came.
{ Azazel : Finally an audience, also my gate way out of this trap house. Ask you questions boy, and make it quick }
Flying after Kyra, he stated his demands. " Give me the species of flames and tell me the strongest. " He said dodging some standing debris.

Absorbing every drop of information , Calvin felt his mind slowly become drowsy. The more he listened, the more his mind slipped. ' Deactivate, Devil's Whisper. ' he thought and the trait went off.
' The purple flame is more powerful than the yellow, hmmm, enlightening.'
The voice of the devil faded and still returned to Calvin's mind. However something remained, something he despised with the very fiber of his being. His face contorted, slowly he declined in altitude.
He tumbled to the ground and rolled a few meters forward. His head pounding like a war drum. Lying still, he felt the headache fade. However it carried the aftermath of dizziness.
A wonder of what that meant dawned on him but in a place like this, he had to keep going. Particles of light weaved a dull rusty blade in a scabbard.
Hanging the blade across his shoulder he moved forward. Too disoriented to fly. Yet he dashed forward, running after the fading yellow light ahead.
As he ran after his new acquaintance, a few shadows were caught by his corner eye. He didn't waver, he increased his speed and activated the soul sense.
The air shook, a buzz rang through the depths of his ear.

His breath hitched and shuddered uncomfortably. A silent message. A constant reminder of what he had become.
Everything from that point, was open to his sight. The world became a velvet of blue and green. Then he saw it, an outline of yellow dashed past him.
' These creatures normally attack, why is it running about.'
He vanished from his spot, too fast for the horror to keep up. It fell, diced in pieces before it could even react. Calvin continued his forward surge, effortlessly dispatching all the horrors he encountered.
They we mostly of arachnid decent and surprisedly, weren't attacking. Just moving at a direction, Kyra's direction. ' Curses, another horde like that on her alone, I would lose my pathfinder.'
Utilizing bursts of fire, he drew closer to where he last saw Kyra's flame. However the strange occurrence were constant. This time their numbers were increasing.
He saw to his horror, horrified version of spiders flocking out of cracks and crevices. The human sized creatures flocked for a certain direction.
' She is in danger, I have to warn her. ' Calvin said in panic. With this realization dawning on him he had to use a trait, else he wouldn't be able to make it in time before anything that was supposed to happen happened.
Gritting his teeth, a familiar panel fabricated in front of him.
