As you depart from the the lake, the beam of light erupting from the deep water in the middle of the four islands just keeps growing stronger. Walking across the beach, up the cliffs, and now along the hard rocky landscape that stretches out in front of you, your destination has been set. And finally, your eyes lock on your new destination, piercing high thorough the sky;
The Spire
It is not without caution that you approach the tall towers piercing through the sky.
Not only is these structures intimidating in themselves, but around them circles creatures; you want to say birds, but despite the distance being too far to tell, something tells you these are something much much bigger…
As you start getting closer and closer, your nose is filled with a burning stench. All around you, smoke rises from holes and crevices in the rocks, and it is not hard to notice that the air around you has become warmer as well. Your guide still leads the way, but with a much more tense expression than ever before.
You keep walking close and closer, when you suddenly hear a sound. Both looking down to your right, you see something moving under some rubble. Carefully, you walk closer and just as you reach out your hand…
…something grabs hold of your back, and propells you up through the air!
You are filled with horror as the ground below gets smaller and smaller. Still not knowing what is lifting you up, you think to yourself;
This can’t be the end of this journey.

And then, just as abruptly as it started, you are dropped down.
It takes several seconds before you dare open your eyes, but as you do, you see tiny winged figures scattered all around you. The beast you invisioned is nowhere to be seen, but despite this, your first instinct is to run away! But, as you push yourself back towards the wall, you see that your guide stands among them…
And… They all look happy!
