We walked down the thin path. I looked over the edge: the drop was deadly, I'd estimate it was at least two hundred feet. There was another bucket, this time reading 'he who wishes for certain death must place 24 sewer tokens in this bucket'. Adrian pulled another handful of sewer tokens out of his armour and plopped them in.
"You've made your choice. Now prepare to breathe your last!" Medusa's voice rang into the darkness. A panel in front of us opened, and we all walked through. The door we used to get in slammed shut, trapping us in the room. We stood on a round island of stone, surrounded by a moat of sewage. The room itself was a dome, a rotten chandelier made of wood swung from the ceiling, the candles on it shrunken and nearly gone. The smell of the moat was enough to kill me, even without the boss that was to come.
Suddenly, all the lights went out. An evil cackle sounded from the middle, where a faint light illuminated a black skeleton, wielding a bow. It pulled back the string, and fired.
It was a long battle (by long I mean Adrian one-hit KOed the boss) and we did not come out unharmed. The Witherhead (the skeleton thingy that has no friends) had shot me several times.
"Owieowieowie!" I yelled, sitting on my backside, slapping the floor with my hands.
"Calm down," Al said, handing me hyperheal balm. "We have worse things to worry about."
He was right. A tunnel had opened, as well as a bunch of vents at the other side of the room. Sewage spilled out thick and fast, trying to flush us down the road back to the surface. We held on tight, the room quickly filling up, attempting not to get washed away. The smell almost made me choke it was that bad, and the sewage was almost up to the ceiling. I held the chandelier tightly, while Alister was cocooned in with Addy in a chrysalis-like metal canister that was the same shape as an elongated bauble you'd hang on a Christmas tree.
The sewage was up to my neck. I took my last breath, as the gross brown liquid submerged my head in it's sickly, slimy grasp. I let go of the chandelier, and prayed for it to be over soon.
All of a sudden, I felt a strong flow. It sucked me downwards, but I held up against it and within seconds, there was no sewage left. A hole opened in the centre of the room, and a circle of vents poured treated water onto the floor and walls to clean the room. I stood under one of the vents, rinsing the sewage out of my hair and clothes.
"Eww..." I said, holding back my breakfast as I pulled a dead goldfish out of my hair.
The brothers emerged from their cocoon, Leo in there with them, and dropped to the floor. Adrian was clutching our bags, keeping them clean. We all showered.  Washing the smell off was the only thing that mattered at that point, because no-one wants to turn up at their cousin's house smelling like a bog.
After a while, the tunnel behind us closed, and a panel on the wall slid back to reveal a heavy oak door. The flow of clean water stopped, the hole in the middle disappeared and we were all left wet and cold.
"Rinire?" Adrian said, standing behind me, hugging me around the neck loosely. "Please?"
I groaned, "Fine... but I get to use your crystal. Mine's run out."
He dug his hand into his armour, fished around for a bit, and came out with a magic crystal. It was round and flat, customized so that it would fit into his chest plate, and a mossy green colour. Curse specific, made especially for charging curses. They limit the flow of magic and stabilize it, meaning you can use them more often as they don't let you use much energy. I sighed. Unfortunately, they don't suit my curse as most of my spells are high-energy, overpowered and damage my surroundings rather considerably.
I balanced the crystal on my tail, and tried to connect to it. Opening one of my soul shards, I searched for its magic presence (which wasn't hard to find as it was close to my heart, where soul shards are located) but something was blocking me out.
"Adrian," I said, face-palming. "By any chance, is Alister connected to this crystal?"
Adrian nodded, chewing on an apple. He must have taken it out the bag while I was busy connecting.
I shot a stern look at Al.
"Fine, fine, I'll unblock it," he said, raising his arms. "But only if you dry me too."
"Okay..." I whined. I hated helping that racist jerk.
Opening my soul shard yet again, I tried to connect. Still blocking me. Alister giggled, so I looked at him with my normal 'I wish you were on the end of my scythe' death stare. 
"I unblocked it," he said. I raised an eyebrow, 'die' still written all over my face, and tried one last time.
Connection established. 
I quickly withdrew some magic, my glow flickering to life as my vision improved. My hands felt warm in the best possible way, making me instantly happy. This feels so darn good!
"Erm, Rinire?" Adrian asked, watching as a drop of drool ran down my chin. "You're gonna dry us off, right? You know I can get hypothermia."
"Huh? What?" I stuttered, snapping out of my daydream. "Oh yeah! Of course!"
I wiped Addy down with my glowing hands. The 178-degree heat of my normal all-purpose spell wasn't enough to penetrate his armour, it only evaporated the water on the outside. Not that there's any reason to worry about the inside: it's completely watertight.
Then I walked over to Al. I waved the air in front of him, washing an invisible window, gestured for him to turn around and did the same on his back.
"Toasty," he said, a relaxed expression on his face. "You're getting better."
"I used you to practice so I don't burn Leo," I said, beckoning Leonard over.
Al started talking to Adrian, and I finished drying Leo off. We all gathered in front of the heavy oak door, waiting for someone to prove their bravery.
I gulped. Now we had to knock.

Hi there! Turns out, my grandma has a laptop (that was there last year- honestly, I have the memory of a goldfish) so if I have any spare time where the neighbor's children (there are too many of them in a block of flats!) aren't busy making me play outside or when I'm back from torturing my poor cousins, I'll upload. I won't upload too often as annoying your cousins and mother with 'never gonna give you up' on loop is too much fun >:) MUAHAHA!

You should try it sometime. 

(A.N- nyan cat is even more effective)
