I gave in. I completely let go of the force making me hover above the ground. Pain filled my head, my arms and my legs. I crashed on a ground covered in a kind of dirt and fog that is very peculiar looking. I'm lying flat on my back in the shroud of fog and dust and i sit up almost immediately to prevent an asthma attack.

The world around me is dark and very creepy looking. I'm sitting in the center of a circular wall encasing me with 4 exits at the north, south, east and west areas. The exits are tunnels, big wide tunnels with odd designs carved into the stone creating them. I put my hand on the ground below me and i'm sitting on something ridged. I feel it before i look down and i think it's writing. Cuneiform? No. Hieroglyphics? No. Chinese? No. 

I look at of the corner of my eyes and i'm sitting on what looks like a flat..........gravestone. I stand up without a second thought and read what it says. It turns out it's in English, but it's poorly written. The stone says:
