Taivas and his friends started walking down the musky and dark corridors of the catacombs. Adian was at the front holding the torch in one hand and his weapon in the other. Xera was in the middle, and Taivas was at the rear. Taivas thought they would soon run into a patrol. Or at the very least, some heartless.  Further moving down the hallways, the group were inside a large room. One end of the wall had a door in the middle. Another wall had a set of stairs that led into another level of the catacombs. All around them were walls filled with the coffins of the dead. Adrian tried opening the door, but it wouldn't budge. 

 [color=00aeef]” Great, now what?” [/color] Taivas said, looking quite annoyed at their predicament. Adian said nothing but started thinking of how they could get through the door. An idea occurred to him, and he handed the torch to Taivas. With a quick swing of his weapon, the door was smashed open, allowing them to pass through.  Xera looked at Taivas, who was a little confused by Adian’s unorthodox solution. But he couldn’t critique him since it solved their little door problem. 


The group carefully moved through the door and walked up a flight of stairs. The stairs led to what appeared to be a dungeon. “[i]This must be where Maleficent tortures any poor soul that crosses her.[/i]” Xera shuddered at the thought of what kind of things she would do down here.  For the time being, they could not ponder long what sinister things Maleficent does here. They had bigger things to deal with. The group moved down the hallways when Adian stopped and motioned for them to stop. 

“[b]Someone is coming.[/b]” Adian guided the group into the nearby cell. Xera put out the torch as they were crowded together. A pair of heartless in suits of armour and armed with long spears. Taivas thought they could easily take out these two. It would probably be better than waiting for them to pass. After the heartless guards left, they walked out of the cell and started making their way down the hallway. Adian was given the torch back and once again lit it. There was a chance there could be more guards patrolling the dungeons. But this was a risk Taivas was willing to take. If they were quick enough, they could make any encounter with a guard without raising any alarms. 


The group of friends moved down the hallway with Adian stopping and pointing to something of interest. “[b]Hold up guys. I heard Maleficent was holding some fairies down here. I wonder if they left anything we could use.[/b]” He started making his way inside an empty cell. Taivas and Xera followed him inside. Taivas noticed it was empty except for a pair of discarded weapons on the floor. 

“[b]Looks like a shield and sword. I wonder if they created this to use it against Maleficent. If you take it, then you’ll probably have a better chance beating her.[/b]” Adian said, standing over the discarded weapons. 

He wanted to interject to mention that he could just use his keyblade. However, he trusted his friends and assumed they knew this weapon could be pretty valuable. Joining Adian, he picked up the sword and shield. Feeling a sudden urge that filled his body and mind. Like a switch being flipped he wanted to abandon his current goal and start helping Maleficent.
