the fire crept up against our legs, as i further reached for pegs spread about the king sized bed but fail once again. The gem is what it held adjacent to the peg, the gem that would stop the fire that slowly wept from the dresser head. She whimpered with fear, my own i held within. This was one of the many riddles we had faced in order to evade. The mere brave facade having been kept up, while ones own fears lay pent up.

We had failed and this was it. All the rooms we managed to escape, only to be met by a worse fate. Trapped between a huddle of blaze and the sight of the peg i could not reach. waddled in each others embrace we leaned up against the wall, and i had no idea what was coming next.
