(Welp heres the next page. Will say that I am not to happy with how this turned out the way I wanted. The lack of lighting is due to them close to the Well of Souls. Again not happy how it turned out but I did experiment more with adding shadows. Also for the creature I felt like adding one, because I feel like the world could use some creatures still.)

Start/Cover: Shadows-of-The-Past-Cover Previous: Shadows of The Past Pg.4 Next: Shadows of The Past Pg.6

*Cynder and the Elder Drake edge closer to the well as they walk. The light from the moons begin to fade as darkness begins to cover all, and covers more as they continue to walk closer to the well. They stop where they are at the foot of the mountain. Crags of rocks are more present as the fog thickens.*

Elder Drake: “We are here.”
Cynder: “So… what now?”
Elder Drake: “You must enter through the mouth of the well and into the darkness that is not touched by the light of day or night. In there you will confront your past”
Elder Drake: “Be warned… the shadows will more than likely be angered by your presence once you enter, and will swarm you once one sees you.”
Elder Drake: “I hope for the best for you Cynder, and hope for the ancestors to guide you.”
Cynder: “Thanks… for helping me though. Well off I go then.”
Elder Drake: “Wait… I have a better idea to get you to the top.”
Cynder: “But shouldn’t I go and fly up there?”
Elder Drake: “Yes, but my idea will be faster as it is very tall.”

*The Elder finds the nearest hollow rock around, and blows it as a horn. Noises begin to be heard from the mountain as the sounds of something descending is coming. The sounds then reveal itself to be a creature of dark blue color tones, as it continues to climb down to the ground to meet both of them. Cynder is shocked to see something around the place.*

Cynder: “You didn’t tell me that something else lived around here!?”
Elder Drake: “Well like I said I like to keep myself mysterious to people. Even the changes around here.”
Elder Drake: “Do not be afraid as I have befriended the creature and climbed on to it to enter the Well many times. To find any secrets that still lie in its history.”
Cynder: “Does it know what we're doing?”
Elder Drake: “Well it mostly knows me for what I asked mostly, but this time it is different.”
Elder Drake: “Climb on and it will take you to the mouth.”

*Cynder at first hesitantly climbs on, but then settles herself down as the creature does not show any aggression.*

Elder Drake: “Listen to me before I tell it to take you. Once you enter the mouth and into the darkness below there is no going back. You must face your shadows to only then find your peace. Again be warned… they will be angered by your presence.”
Elder Drake: “Good luck Cynder.”

*The Elder taps his staff on the ground three times to which the creature then begins to climb up the well. Cynder hangs onto the head of it as the creature hastily climbs the Well. Cynder grows more nervous as she ascends closer to the mouth. The creature reaches to the top and stops at the mouth to which Cynder has a flashback to what transpired in the well. The moment she and Spyro were entrapped in the crystal to save themselves as the inside of the Well collapsed.*

*Cynder prepares herself before jumping and descending into the darkness below, as well as the creature watches till she enters the darkness and leaves. She enters and the light is barely present within the mountain. Only darkness is present, and the presence of shadows.*

(By far the shortest page so far, in the story, but it will continue until the next one. Hopefully the next page turns out better.)
