Darkness

The darkness sanctum was gloomy. It didn't help that it was next to the light sanctum.

To Atticus, it was as though he had left a place full of excitement and life for a place devoid of any. The darkness sanctum stood like a mass of blackness, absorbing all light from its surroundings.

Atticus walked forward and approached the gates of the darkness sanctum.

'Let's get this over with,'

This was all Atticus could think about. After learning the darkness element, he would finally be done with the seven elements and could face lightning. After that, it would be all about continuous training and improvement. He couldn't wait to be done.

Atticus stood in front of the gate and waited patiently. Unlike the other times, there was no one either waiting for him or arriving after a few seconds.

The whole area was silent.

"Should I go over the wall?"
