The King's Chosen One

"I'll kill you..." John muttered 

It was just for a moment, but the boy felt a shiver go past his spine. Not because of John's threat, but because of the presence within his words. 

For just a single moment, the boy could feel a different presence aside from John's and it was that of the man he feared. 

"The king..." He muttered 

Just as he said that, the magic circle had finished it's activation, and the ground beneath John quickly broke down. Causing the floor and everything in the room, including John and Serena to drop into a dark abyss which had formed beneath them 

As The two began to fall into the abyss, John got under the crystal where Serena was trapped inside, before holding it above his head. 

Once it was balanced, they quickly stopped falling, before heading back up. 

However as this happened, the light which came from the top where they had originally fallen from, began to disappear as darkness began to cover it.
