“We’ve checked everywhere! The only places we haven’t is the cloud kingdom, the departed realm, and……..the cauldron of realms.” Nokt said. “Where should we check next?” Rox asked Nokt. “If anything……..it will be…….in the cauldron of realms……however I do not want to go there.” Nokt sighed. “Me neither, brother.” Rox said. “But what if it really is there? We could free the rest of the forbidden five!” She stated. Nokt shut his eyes tightly. “Fine, but we mustn’t draw attention to ourselves.” He whispered. “We’re here.” He said. They stood at the entrance. Rox smiled. “Let’s go, just check if anything is here, then we leave.” Nokt said. Rox nodded in understanding. They quietly stepped in, being extremely cautious. A shadow emerged behind Rox. “SISTER!” Nokt yelled. Rox turned around just in time to dodge a hammer. “Ras!” Nokt sneered. “And me!” Cinder walked up to Ras. “So I guess you did listen to me!” Ras grinned. “After all, you came to where I wanted you to be.” He laughed. “Not for what you want…….not at all.” Nokt said. “I know exactly what you want, and you will never get it.” Ras growled. Nokt looked at Rox. They both smirked as they stomped their feet twice, preparing for shatterspin. “Oh there’s no need for that.” A sly grin crossed Ras’ face. “My master is here.” Rox and Nokt stopped. They looked at each other. “Take him?” Rox asked. “Now.” Nokt smiled. They used shatterspin to knock Cinder out. Nokt grabbed him by the neck and started to drag him out to somewhere else. As Ras tried to follow, Rox pushed him back with shatterspin. She laughed at the sight of him being weak. “And as for you, Ras.” Rox said. “We have something far worse planned for you.” She laughed. Then Nokt and Rox vanished before Ras’ master could even awaken. “It’s time, brother.” Rox said. Nokt nodded enthusiastically. Cinder woke up to Nokt and Rox laughing at him. “You, will forever be loyal to us now.” They said. Cinder shrugged “What if I refuse?” He asked. “Hm…..then……we will force you.” Rox lifted up her hand. Her theroxion power started to gain control over Cinder. “You shattered your soul, remember? Now we can control you, just like we can to everyone else who has, including that one ninja.” Her terrifying and hollow laughter echoed throughout the pitch black darkness.
