Lisa was sitting on bed, her expression dead serious, awe dread by her widen crimson eyes. Her hair scattered over her face as she adjusted it. The silver mirror stand which was resting at the corner, meet her glaze as for moment her eyes sparkle when she blinked, with that the mirror shattered to pieces..
She titled her head to front, sighing..
"Are we this cruel?."
The thought of Leon killing those innocent children was still rushing on her head. As she heard a voice within her.
– These worlds have same rule.. Kill or be killed.. There's no another way, and there's no other way which we can transcend out our fate..
The shon which bound astrans to their neverending fate. Her inner voice words made her get up from the bed, adjusted herself before going out from the room, the shards of mirror which were scattered over the floor, resting on it..

"So we can break those locks up?."
Ender asked Azon who was sitting on sofa, Zack and Ruis were leaning on the door's frame. The same room where they're discussing earlier, waiting for Azon to declare and let them explore those two looked doors.. When they heard footsteps approaching towards them from upstairs..
Ruis didn't mind it looking at who was coming, neither Ender and Azon as Azon was busy pondering while Ender was looking at him with his jet-dark pleaded eyes. But Zack with curiosity over his face looked to saw Lisa standing beside them, she had a unusual blank face. Zack was surprised to see her, he thought that she would take more time, but no unfortunately that wasn't the case.
"You came faster than expected. I thought you needed our help to escape that mirror.."
He said with his usual teasing smirked. As Lisa cleared up her throat.
"Hmm... Do you think someone who has live ten times more than your life will find these things challenging?."
She replied with her cheeks curved to a quite macilious smile, just to scared him off..
As Zack giggles nervously. As Lisa's glaze stumbled over Azon who was still thinking, as she had just came here, didn't knew what banter was going on, she asked Ruis this time as if she knew Zack didn't give a shit about it..
"What's the matter?."
Her tone was polite and formal manner. Ruis sighs, not looking at her as his glaze was still fixed over Ender who was glaring at Azon like a child..
"The upstairs doors which are locked. We need to see what's happening there. Maybe it's connected to the case."
"Oh, but from what I heard from this case.. These doors were locked way before the murder. There are rumors that only Mr Warner had access to these doors.."
Her words made Ruis wondered for a moment, he didn't reply back.. As Azon lips quivered when he declared. His tone low but resolute..
"I have a talk with captain. He ordered that you all can break those locks up, but be careful, anything is possible.."
He continues without a pause..
"I'm going with you as well.."
As he gets up before Ender, moving his steps towards the door as the others take a side for him to go upstairs. With that, others followed him up. Now they were standing before the locked doors, as Azon extended his arm's muscles towards one of the locks.
As his palm came in contact with the lock, it burned on impact but Azon somehow beared the pain and with all his strength, he swings his hand down with end up shattering the lock, even breaking the door's handle. Then he kicked the door so hard that it broke from bottom, opened now, as Azon hand regenerate as before within this moment..
As soon as they entered the room, a weird feeling as if something is about to happen, it was a room fill with special seals concealed within the astomphere, so much that their dimensionality end here, only spirituality was lingering in them.
This room had polished stone floor with cobblestone bricks, it was quite unusual and unique than others, unlike any normal bedroom, dining room or guest room. It had no decorations nor any thing here, just a plain room with only a huge rock, more like a boulder in the center enough leading and resting on the center.
Everyone were surprised even Azon was puzzled as Zack sighs, scratching his hair, he didn't want to be here.. As usual this is Zack..
~ When we'll go for eating Sauerbraten?.
Sauerbraten is pot roast of beef or venison that is marinated in a sour liquid, such as vinegar or wine, before being slow-cooked. It's considered a national German dish and often features a sweet and sour sauce. He had German nationality as he was born one, wondering with his dizzy eyes.
Ender scratches his chin, looking at Zack who was busy in himself, even he thought..
~ It been a while since I tasted Doner kebab.. LoL.. Why I'm thinking about this right now?.
– Because you're a verified idiot.. Bitch.
His inner voice words made him reply.
~ ...
Ruis was also thinking about tasting a cuisine. Lisa was thinking about Blini. Blink is a thin, round pancakes made from wheat or buckwheat flour. They are a staple of Russian cuisine and can be served sweet or savory. It was quite fishy that all of them were thinking about their favorite dishes as soon as they entered here. Why was this?. Because of the seals or the mysterious rock..
Azon sighs before saying.
"Lisa check this rock up then if it's good, take it to agency you three, Lisa and I then will check the other room.. Tomorrow.."
The three glared at him going outside with blank expressions as if he was escaping work.. LoL.. As Lisa extended her arm towards the rock, closing her eyes as a red aura began to emerged from her, slightly lifting her straight hairs up.
The rock began to vibrate for a moment as she relaxed her arm and the aura disappeared. She sighs before opening her eyes again, declared by mumbling..
"It's all good.."
She turned her footsteps behind towards the door as the others stepped forward, Zack first touched the rock from behind, it was unusually warm, hot rock, strange as Ender lifted it from front with Ruis. They slightly lifted but it was so heavy that it drop.
"Damn!. My back!."
Zack grasped for air as he leaned to the wall aside the rock. Ender whispered to Ruis while sighing.
"Can't you use water to Flow it to our agency?."
As Ruis wondered for a moment, declaring..
"Yeah.."
BANG!
Zack rushed towards him, hitting him with a punch in his face, so hard it cause a bruise which regenerate in moments.
"You jerk!. My back pain always happens because of you!."
This wasn't the first time it had happened between them, once in college they had to lift an entire cupboard towards downstairs. Ruis couldn't hold it as all weight pushed towards Zack. He fell down with the cupboard while moving downstairs.. Luckily he didn't broke any bones like why would he..
In present Ender clapped as their attention drawns towards him, he said politely..
"Ruis, do it.."
He said with his lips curved to a warm smile. As Ruis sighs and water began to firm around the rock, covering it like a bubble as Ruis lifted it up telekinesisly because of spirituality.
"Let's go then. I'll teleported it once we get out of this room.."
As they turned their steps and glazes behind to the exit.. Everything was going as calculated.. But suddenly the water around the rock began to be absorbed by it until it fell down, the impact causes the polished stone floor to cracked. Which causes a rock to be cracked as well..
This shifted the attention of them as they turned behind to saw the blue light emerging from many areas between the cracks in the rock. The cracks were spreading as if something was rising beneath it..
Hearing the sounds Azon and Lisa who were at ground floor, feel something wasn't right as they both rushed upstairs with great speed. Using zon precisely they came upstairs within an instant, faster than light itself..
Lisa first came near the door as her eyes widen seeing the scenario infront of her, Azon came aside and was quite surprised as well..
"-2. 436.. The dungeon.."
He mumbled as if it was lost artifact.. The room shrouded in blue light as the rock exploded. It's explosion made a weird blue sucking portal, it try to suck the boys as their bodies began to crumbled in dust which goes in the portal. As Zack who was half crumbled with his half lower and upper body gone.
He extended his arm towards her so that she can catch her, she came in, tried to grabbed him as well.. But.. Azon moved her gently out of the way.. As the last part of Zack, his eye left seeing Lisa who was concerned, a tear shred from one eye.. As this eye crumbled to dust and goes to portal.
It scintillated in that moment, shining brightly, Azon looked at Lisa who was frowned.. She just said one thing..
"Why are we so cruel?. So much that we can't help our own kind.."
Azon sighs and whispered.
"Let them go through it.. This is the only way to survive in this world.. Lisa.. You don't understand it yet, but you'll one day.."
"It's better if I had died there.. It's better if I die as a fool.."
"See through the portal.."
Azon clenched his teeth before ordering her, shifting the topic.. As Lisa goes to the room, standing infront of the portal which was humming in an unknown language..
***
It was dark here, it felt like everywhere were rocks, seals that sealed their dimensionality.. As one of them ignited a fire which was none other than Zack..
This place looked like another dimension which looked like a dungeon. Ender and Ruis adjusted themselves, as dust was resting on their coats, brushing it off..
As a red screen appeared in front of them which grabbed their attention.. it was Azon in the screen who said firmly, while Lisa was standing in the corner..
"You need to kill an entity lingering in this area. That's how it's works, sometimes it's a swarm of groups, sometimes it's only one.. Be careful if it's only one.."
The screen ended, within that moment the whole place ignited like if rocks were emitting light itself. The whole place lighted and they could see properly..
It was a huge rocky place with drip stones, things that are usual in a cave..
Aragh!
A voice echoed everywhere, as it came from depths of hell itself.. As a shadow began to emerged from front between two big rocks.
It had a face of a distorted human, so much that one eye was in mouth while other at ear, continuously shifting to other sides of face. It had a tall gray slim body like 8 feet. One hand with sharp burning claws while other short but filled with slippery tentacles..
Arugh!
It roared at them as if it was angry, furious as they rememberd Azon saying. Be careful if it's only one..
"Oh fu*k.."
Ender mumbled, his eyes widened, starring at the creature..
"We are fu*king cooked."
Ruis sharp gray eyes widened, is this the end?.
"Fu*k it."
Zack expression became serious. Only he was the one who had some courage here..
