wait

you do realize that the dark lord isn't in the volcano anymore? he ran up the steps and into a slightly hidden narrow tunnel with no guards that went almost directly down and into a large cavern filled with guards. sorry if i didn't make that clear......

The Dark Lord ran to another exit in the cave. stalactites on the top and bottom made it look like they were walking into the mouth of a fanged beast. This tunnel was almost as dark as the other one, but small, orange, glowing mushrooms lighted their path. This tunnel was also much larger than the other one they had taken to get to the cavern.

The Dark Lord clutched Akurle in his claws, holding her still. He ran through the tunnel, which was much longer than the other one. Akurle tried to twist her head around and blow that frost breath Buttons had talked about at the Dark Lord, but he carried her in a way that didn't allow her to move her head.

Suddenly, the Dark Lord stopped. They were in the darkest part of the tunnels, where there were no glowing mushrooms. Akurle squinted and noticed that there were holes in rocks where mushrooms might have been growing, but ripped out.

The Dark Lord pressed his palm of the wall of tunnel. "Shaylah dent roe kytrikk." He said. His palm glowed purple for a split second, then faded. Moments later, Akurle heard a low, grinding noise. Above her, a hole appeared in the ceiling. The Dark Lord jumped up ang grabbed into the edge of the hole with one hand. He hauled himself up with difficulty and put his other elbo on the edge, which was the arm that was holding Akurle. The Dark Lord finally pulled himself up and got his legs in. The hole was just the right size for the Dark Lord, which Akurle guessed was no coincidence.

Akurle looked around and found herself in another tunnel, a bit smaller than the other one and much darker. The tunnel was smooth and straight, which was defenditely not natural. The Dark Lord hunched over and walked carefully through the tunnel. Only a few mintes later, the tunnel turned left. Ahead of them was another cave glowing with errie blue light.

The Dark Lord walked into the cave. It was very large and round, and the whole place was lit up with a blue glow. At the back of the cave was a small waterfall pouring from a hole in the wall. The water poured into a small pond in the ground, and what looked like a podium was sticking out of the water in the center of the pond. At the top of the podium was a clear orb that looked like it was made of glass. After a few moments, Akurle realized that the water was creating the blue glow.

"Wha..." Akurle stammered.

"You've heard of Calypso's key, right?" The Dark Lord asked.

Akurle, who was dumbstruck by awe, shook her head, even though she knew what Calypo's key was.

"Calypso's key can open a portal to your world. And I'm sure you've heard of Calypso. But her key can only be used by an animal like yourself. And that animal must have the powers of Calypso. Not all, but some. Not many know, but Calypso could transform into a shimmering white and blue bird. You have those very shapeshifting powers." He threw Akurle to the ground and held her down.

(no one go into the cave yet, and i will have a picture of the cave by tomorrow. for now, just have your characters wander around or fight)
