Immortal Darkness: Shadow Across the Land Read Online Free PDF

he
sauntered his way in.
    At first Yofel was only able to make out
pitch darkness. Is there any light in here? Such a question
was drawn away from his mind when he slammed into a wall, his nose
pressing up against a cold, flat surface. Ow! What’s going on
here? he asked himself while rubbing his sore nose.
    Now a total of two questions ran
through Yofel’s mind—none of which he’d expected to answer anytime
soon. With only a heartbeat to think about why any of these events
were happening, he took notice of a peculiar scent overwhelming his
bruised nose.
    This foreign scent seemed to grow worse and
worse within time. The increase in the scent continued until Yofel
noticed something wrong with his blade.
    Unsure whether or not the new scent had
anything to do with his blade, Yofel took a glance over to his
blade and noticed how his blade glowed with a vibrant blue flame
attached to it once again. How did this come back? he
wondered with a spark of confusion blowing his mind away.
    While completely and utterly confused by this
occurrence, the flame his sword emanated gave a bright enough light
to liven up the inside of the entire temple. Oh—I get it! he
thought while wrinkling his nose. That smell is causing
this!
    Despite having been earlier flabbergasted by
the temple’s inside scent, Yofel brought himself out of a small
trance before actually taking any notice of the area around him.
The images before him brought a hint of wonder to flare up in his
mind.
    A damp, dark area surrounded the Easi—full of
nothing but slippery walls and a slightly wet floor, all of which
was made from stone. Upon realizing this place’s wet atmosphere,
Yofel allowed a speck of caution to enter his mind. One foul move
could spell an injury—or even death, for that matter.
    Wonder was brought up to Yofel’s mind when a
cage-like door with a lock stood in front of his gaze. Such was
strange to see after finding nothing else but wet stone. Turning
around, he noticed two floor-based levers—both of which sat left
and right of the door—and another riddle on the wall, this riddle
slightly shorter than the last two he’d come in contact with.
    After seeing this strange puzzle, Yofel
turned his head toward a lever to the left of the door. Does the
riddle have anything to do with the levers? On the handle of a
lever left of the door read a hieroglyphic in the form of a
crescent. When he pulled this lever down, he heard a strange click
spreading through the air.
    Twitching with surprise, Yofel’s ears took in
the click as it echoed throughout the temple. It was at this moment
when an idea popped into his head. Such an idea was put into action
when he wrapped his one open hand around the opening of the door
and gave it a small tug. The result was the entrance to a new area. The lever unlocked the door?
    To begin what would become a puzzling series
of events, Yofel stuck his blazing sword out as far away from his
body as possible. The result of doing so caused him to realize
there were sixteen other levers in the room. Sitting right by his
side was a third lever—and in front of him was another barred
door.
    In an attempt to figure out exactly would
this lever could have done, Yofel gave it a tug and took hearing of
another click. He had, however, expected the door in front of him
to click open. Unfortunately for him, tugging the door didn’t cause
anything to happen; the door wouldn’t budge. What’s going on
here?
    Scratching the back of his head, Yofel began
to wonder exactly why the lever caused a click without
unlocking the door in front of him. It was at this moment, however,
when an idea lit up in his mind: What about that other
lever?
    A rush coming to his feet, Yofel backed up to
the two levers at the start of the maze. Taking a look to the
right, he took notice of the one lever he hadn’t pulled. “Hmm—” he
mumbled. His left hand holding his glowing sword, and his right
hand gripping onto the lever, Yofel pulled his right
