You were sitting in the parlor of the palace with Nadia, Lucio, Portia, and Julian. You were all waiting for Asra to come back from Their most recent trip and they were supposed to tell you all about it. You were all sitting in the parlor drinking tea, then Asra walks into the room. Asra sits across from you and grabbed a cup of tea.
"So Asra, how was your trip?" Nadia asked, and Asra set down Their cup and answered.
"Oh it was absolutely amazing, I saw so many things, Though I did miss you guys." They said as They picked Their cup back up and took a sip of tea. You put your cup down and asked Asra a question.
"Did you get anything interesting on your trip?" You asked. Asra. Asra made an Audible 'oh' and then pulled something out of their pocket. It was a small, gold pocket watch on a gold chain, It had a slight purple glow to it. You looked at the watch and smiled.
"Wow, that's so pretty." You said as you put down your cup.
"Yeah, that must have cost a fortune!" Julian said. Asra laughed a bit.
"It didn't cost a penny, A friend gave it to me." Asra said. You were about to ask another question when the pocket watch started to go off. Asra looked at the time on the watch, Asra then put the watch back in their pocket and stood up.
"What are you doing?" You asked while Asra was walking towards the door leading to the courtyard.
"I'm sorry for the short visit, But I'm afraid I'm late, yes very late. I must get going." Asra said before they rushed out the door. You stood up and followed after them. As you were walking out you heard all of your friends calling after you.
"Y/N! Where are you going?! Come back!" You heard a mixture of voices say, You caught up to Asra at the fountain in the courtyard. You grabbed Asra's arm to stop them from going any further.
"You just got here, where are you going?" Asra just looked at you and then towards the fountain.
"Y/n, I really have to go, I'm late." Asra got out of your grip and stepped into the fountain and just like magic he disappeared. You were upset that Asra had left right after they got back and didn't even give you a reason why, so you decided to follow Asra. You stepped into the fountain and before you knew it everything around you had went black.
A few minutes later a little bit of light had started to shine through. Soon enough you were submerged in light and saw the place around you. It was grey, a grey brick room. The room kept going on forever. You looked down and noticed you were falling.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHH!" You screamed once you realized you were falling. After a while you finally landed on the ground. You looked around and saw that you were in a grey brick tower, there were stairs going up and down, you stood up and walked towards the stairs. You started to walk down the stairs to hopefully find a way out. You were walking, and walking and walking and walking, soon you stopped. You were frustrated.
"AHHH! Why is this taking so long?! You huffed and plopped down on the ground. Each floor of the tower looked the same to you, it was a tower made out of grey bricks. You walked over to the window and saw a plain light blue sky, no clouds or anything. You were standing at the window when you saw a broken piece of brick, you picked it up and looked at it, out of boredom you threw it out the window. A few seconds later there was a crash that came from behind you. You turned around and saw the part of the brick you threw out the window was laying in the middle of the floor. You walked over and picked it up and threw it out the window again but with more force. A few seconds go by and the rock comes crashing down and hits you on the head.
