Plunged in darkness, Josias had slipped to his belly protecting his head. There was a split second before the lights flickered on for a second, and he peeked up to see the destruction, and then suddenly the lights burst off with a final and deafening scream, telling everyone they were doomed—or worse. Glass sprayed Josias over the head. Was this an earthquake? It had every possible reason to be, but it felt—off. Shouldn’t there be more… rumbling? Things falling? But what did Josias know about earthquakes anyways. Maybe his adrenaline was too strong to feel any of it. People in the underground exhibit started screaming, others harshly chanting. “Sh-t, sh-t, sh-t”. Oh. It hit him, “Halia?” Josias croaked, somehow his voice nothing but the old, scorching sands of Egypt in his lungs. Someone else in the background had said something, but Josias was too out of it to hear properly, and—then he was alone. Halia had left and Hayden had disappeared at one point. At this point most were rushing to the door that seemed like the light at the end of this hellish tunnel. But everything felt… off. An evil entity amongst the group. Josias could sense a looming presence, something dark and malevolent lurking in the shadows. His heart racing, he tried to make sense of what was happening around him, but it was all too chaotic.
Struggling to his feet, he shuffled towards the group, dodging falling debris along the way. When he reached the door, he was relieved to see several people together… by a man who lay on the ground, seemingly unconscious.
As Josias approached the group, his heart sank when he recognized the guy. Erek King. Josias pushed his way through the crowd and dropped to his knees beside Erek. “What happened?” Josias asked, frantically checking for a pulse. “What happened,” he whispered to himself. Trembling with fear and desperation, he closed his eyes and began to recite a prayer, hoping it would offer some protection.
