The Umbra's Odyssey - The Hidden Path

Instructions

Chapter 7 - The Hidden Path ---- Umbra and Fortuna walked through the forest with Ninja and Vine. Ninja was ahead, crouching and inspecting some dirt. "What's he doing?" asked Fortuna. Vine grinned. "He's looking for Serpent and Cavern. They went ahead to look for the Path today." Fortuna nodded. "What's the path?" Vine walked up to Ninja. "The Path is a passage to the kits in development. We like to try and see them." Umbra inspected the are in front of Ninja. It held a cold. Ninja stood up. "Once we cross, we can't use our powers. Come on. Serpent and Cavern are waiting for us." Ninja stepped seemily into more forest, and he vanished. The rest followed. The ground suddenly dropped out below Umbra and he was falling into a dark abyss. Umbra bit his tounge to stop himself from screaming, while Fortuna was screaming his head off. Finally, they hit the floor. Fortuna face planted besides Umbrainto the dark floor. Umbra shuddered. He felt disconnected entirely from the rest of the land. It was a dark, scarcly lit path, with many paths reaching onward. Umbra blinked. Serpent and Cavern stood in front of him. "Get up." Serpent ordered. Fortuna slowly got up beside Umbra. Fortuna was shaking. "Umbra-" "Come on!" snapped Serpent. Everyone followed. Serpent lifted his staff onto a single part of the wall. A ripple followed where the staff had hit. Fortuna gasped, inching backwards. Serpent stabbed his staff into the wall. a bright white sheet had opened where Serpent had stabbed it. Fresh air flowed in, Serpent jabbed Fortuna and Umbra. "New kits first." Fortuna shook again. Umbra dragged Fortuna into the white sheet. "Come on!" Ninja, Vine, and Cavern followed. Umbra stepped out into a jungle, but different from the island's jungle. Unlike the Island's jungle, it was brown and dying. The flowers and plants were wilting. The only thing that seemed to be green were the dark green vines encircling surrounding statues. Even though it was a sorry sight, Umbra felt his power returning strong, and the void that Umbra felt was gone. He took a deep breath. Serpent hopped out. "Go, take a look." He gestured to the statues. Umbra walked up to a statue. It moved. It turned to face him. This was not a statue.
