(k)<br/><br/>The Red Eyes were at the second floor when the explosion went off,blocking them from continuing down further. With the exception of the increased agitation they suffered from the noise and the staircase being destroyed none of them were harmed and would find another way around to get to Nikolai. In the meantime the Red Eye that had been pursuing Nikolai from the start continued after him. It's ticking told the others it was in pursuit and would continue after him while they find their way around.<br/><br/>The forest began to darken and the surroundings began to literally twist into more foreign like images. The light became blocked and covered by a fog overhead and that seemed to fill the sky. The ground held the same fog being cast over the ground like a blanket up to Jack's knees. It was subtle at first, the fog becoming thicker and forest becoming more closed, the branches of the trees twisting over each other and holes in them, shaping into more mouth like shapes. The branch ends sharpened to needle points and the bark became more rough and organic, teeth images to be seen by any eye. The once light browns and greens of the trees and grass became darker and the darkest of reds outlined them like spilled blood coming from the mouth like structures on the trees mid bark. The shrubs of grass became thorny and poison ivy found itself wrapped around everything. The creatures of the world began to make themselves known the howling and cawing of the clor,Drones,Usos, everything screeching into the night, the sound unavoidable and persistent, never ending into the ears of Jack as he went along the land that seemed to spiral around him. His sense would start to get slightly clouded and the sounds would seem to become louder as though everything on the planet was out for his blood, to feast upon his body, mind and very soul. The ground was beginning to soften and was turning into mud making it harder to walk. As he would continue walking, Jack would find himself in front of a monstrous tree. On every branch there stood an obstacle he had overcome during his time on Exalein.<br/><br/>"It's a dismal place isn't Jack? So full of a achievement and yet at the same time full of regret and loss. Of pain and pleasure. Of perseverance and cowardice." The voice from the tree up ahead, it's top seeing no end into the sky and clouds of fog that threatened to consume Jack in their dreaded heavy weight. Dradel stood atop one of the branches, standing from the same position they once had when Jack had first met Draco. "And yet here we are once again, in the midst of Exalein, lost to our memories and forever locked with fate."
