n purred.

”Oh, so it ’s Onyx! ” she exclaimed.
She never thought she would actually guess it right! But was she the one who actually guessed it? She was certain she had not thought about Onyx…

The dragon purred again, and Evie could only smile in gladness.
She was happy to actually discover the dragon ’s name!

After that, when Evie saw that her men were ready, she began to tell Onyx about the journey.
The dragon seemed to be listening to her, and it rose when she told him where she wanted to go beyond the dragon ’s gate and that she wanted it to show them the way.

It lowered its head right before Evie and she immediately realized it wanted her to climb up its back.

Without wasting a moment, Evie carefully climbed on the dragon and settled herself on its back.
She looked at her men and nodded at them before they too, all lightly jumped and carefully landed on the back of the dragon too.

Evie had thought that the dragon would fly off immediately, but it did not.
It only walked slowly towards that dark path she had run into and where she had previously met the dragon.

The vampires were quiet.
This was the place they had encountered the two dragons before with prince Gavriel but now, they could not see any other dragons apart from this large one they were with.
Could it be that those dragons were scared of this black one?

As Onyx moved forward, they could now see darkness before them.
This was the darkness no one had ever crossed before.

The darkness was so deep that it felt almost solid – like a thick wall that was there to prevent entry.
But entry to what, exactly?? When the dragon finally stepped through it, the vampires could not see anything even with their enhanced eyesight.
It was as if the power of their eyes to see in the dark were being disabled in here.
They were shocked.

But then they saw a single glow of light before them, it was the princess.
She was literally glowing like a beacon!

Her light began to illuminate their surroundings and the vampires realized that they were inside a cave-like path.
The dragon continued on this path, walking fluidly ahead.

Everyone, including Evie were brimming over in anticipation as the dragon moved deeper and deeper into this cave.
The little they could see from the path seemed winding and it was as if they were entering into a large labyrinth.

The path that does not reflect any sound or light, it only gave anyone going through it the feeling of despondency and despair.
Even the light emitted by their princess could not light up the area around them but seemed to have been supressed, only allowing them to see within a radius of a couple of feet.

The dragon continued walking on in the darkness, with only their princess as their lone source of light.
It was not until at long last that they saw another source of light ahead.
Their eyes were all fixed ahead as they knew they were finally coming out of that all-encompassing darkness.
What was it that lie ahead?

They swallowed in both expectation and apprehension as the dragon finally stepped out of the darkness along with them.
