The Umbra's Odyssey - The Stringpuller

Instructions

Chapter 14 - The Stringpuller -- As the group of three made their way out of the Dark cave, Phantasm watched. Not many could do what these three have done, it seems. She's thrown everything at them: Poems, Monsters and questionable dangers, Illusions, and even the Jester one, Fortuna's fear: The Dark. If they get past the last one, another questionable danger, prehaps she will meet them. After a long time,it would be nice to see a few faces. -- Umbra was the first to step out of the Dark cave. The moment he stepped out, the light returned. He looked over at Fortuna and Crypt. Fortuna looked very relieved. Umbra sensed Crypt was content. "It's over." Fortuna said, relief thick in his voice. Just a head of Umbra, an opening into light shone. Both Fortuna and Umbra sprinted, Crypt gliding a little slower. prehaps he was cautous. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a rop e appred and grabbed Fortuna. Umbra yelped as he was followed with a rope, and he was suddley flipped upside down. A large,kitiod,all white, was glowering down at him and Fortuna. He heard the sound of Crypt's sketeions being summoned, and he craned his head to see a small army charging at the White Kitiod. It merely moved a hand and sent them the sketions flying to piles of bones. Crypt watched this and tensed, giving a little flinch as his Skeletions hit the wall. "Choose one, kit. The one you chose will be saved, and the other one will meet a demise." The white kitiod shook both Fortuna and Umbra, causing Fortuna to yelp "WoAh WOah wAOH!" Umbra looked at Crypt in dispair. They came here twogether, they would have to get out twogether. Crypt, however, was but more willing than Umbra would like about d3ath. "I chose both." Crypt said calmly. This was followed by him and Fortuna being Shaked violently again. Umbra went to grab his hat, but it was already gone. Fortuna, who had no idea what was going on, was even paler than before. The shaking stopped. After a long pause, Crypt pointed to Fortuna. "I choose him." this was then followed by Fortuna screaming "Wait! no!" and being thrown to Crypt. Umbra looked at Crypt in shock. But then again,he wasn't really surprised, not really. He would sacrifice, he saw it as needed. Prehaps Umbra wasn't needed anymore... As the WHite Kitiod stepped by to let them leave, Crypt hesitated a mere moment before leaving. He took something from his pouch, Umbra just barely covered up his gasp. He watched as Crypt put on Umbra's hat. They then left, leaving him and the white Kitiod alone. "It's just you and-" The Kitoid said,but Umbra didn't hear the rest of it as he pushed and teleported. He landed at Crypt feet. Fortuna immedalty ran up and hugged him. Crypt nodded in approval. Before Umbra could thank him, a Bright white flash overtook Umbra, and he rapidly blinked his eyes in sudden pain from the flash. When he opened them again, he found him, Crypt, and Fortuna, who was cowering a little in a White with dashes of black that made it look like paint marks; He looked again, and realized they were in a box. And, they were not alone. --
