part in it
all, if things turned out like he imagined it that is.
    Bryson sensed something, and looked
over to where Mitchell ’ s eyes were staring furiously and saw debris
covering the ground ahead, away at the end of the tunnel, and while
their pace quickened he started to wonder what was going to happen
as Mitchell and the others started to react strangely and
viciously, and in horror of there being extreme danger, and he
waited observing their reactions and decided to react to what
happened.
    What could be so dangerous about the tunnel
being collapsed? The worst that could happen was that there was no
exit and that they would have to walk back, which would only put
them about half a day behind, and they could sleep in the safety of
the tunnel.
    On their approach there it became clear that
the ground had collapsed years before, through corrosion from water
and weight, and that there was a way out of it, to escape from the
tunnel there, and he started to realize what the problem was and
why they were reacting so much.
     

Chapter 10
     
    The Castle
     
    They had become trapped in the dark wood,
freezing in the deep snow, hiding behind trees, while the lights
and creatures shifted about violently smashing things around them,
while the amount of them and their powers grew, while Mitchell and
his men had their weapons ready.
    Bryson now knew why having the military
there could be a mistake, and he had realized it when they had
escaped from the tunnel into the dark wood and had witnessed
Mitchell and his men launching into shooting rounds of
ammunition.
    Thick snow
shrouded everything everywhere creating a mind-bending landscape,
and they were too exhausted to attempt to recognize anything. It
was shocking how they could have got lost!
    They should
have stuck to being in the tunnel! They could easily have entered
the other half of the tunnel in the morning!
    The blackness
and snow had turned to a nightmare!
    Their legs
sank deep into stinking vegetation that resembled quicksand in
places, but Mitchell insisted that it was not and continued to take
them on through it as if it were not there and only another
obstacle – and the further away from the tunnel entrance they went
the worse it got, and the fact that they would not be able to
return.
    Out of nowhere
a giant light emerged from the undergrowth, and it pulsated like a
living thing, magically illuminating the snow and trees
everywhere.
    The light
allowed them to see everything, and he wondered if it was a type
warning like a lion might warn them off.
    “ Look
over there!” one of the scientists suddenly hollered, from over at
their side, making them all jump and their adrenalin pump wildly
through their veins.
    Bryson was one
of the first to look and spot what it was, and saw a castle buried
away in the landscape and he stood astounded not only by its
immense size but because he had a sensation that it had colossal
power, and it eventually left him staggered! He sensed many strange
things and was sure all the paranormal energy was centered
there!
    The
castle was also blissful and they ignored the dangers around them
and watched it. It radiated through the wood like a
spellbinding ghost castle, and they forced their legs to move
faster.
    Its appearance as they moved there, out of
the night, amidst the jungle of vegetation, was staggering! The
treasure surely had to exist there! Bryson was amazed at the speed
that they were now moving away from the disturbances towards it at
and started to realize how enthusiastic they were to get to it now.
And he even sensed many of the others had known of the treasure for
longer than they should have, and were confident it existed.
    Mitchell even forgot about his battle and
made for the castle, and as Bryson watched him he realized that the
tunnel had gone in the direction of the castle, and had led there
all along.
    It was like a phantom castle glowing in snow
and shining from being in moonlight, like it were
