The sky seem to grew dark as they pushed forward. The maze slowly still sucking the energy from them. They were so close to the end, and yet so far away. Thunder filled the air as flashes from lightning lite the dark maze. Heavy breathing could be heard from the two as they fought to keep going.

Damien’s legs grew heavy as he leaned against Lorette. His blood still flowing from the wound in his chest, his clothes becoming more and more soaked. Lorette’s teeth dug into her bottom lip as she held back tears. She knew Damien was trying to stay strong for her, and she had to stay strong for him. Her shoulder starting to grow numb as Damien applied more and more weight to it. The longer they walked, the worse he grew.

Ren wasn’t fairing to well herself. While they were separated Damien had taken a major hit for Lorette, and Ren had become deathly ill. Lorette’s mental state was wavering from the worry and panic she was trying to hold in. Izuor, no one could tell what was going on with him. He didn’t seemed worried in the slightest.

“Just a little farther.” Lorette said softly as her blue eyes looked worryingly into Damien’s.

A small smile slipped onto his lips as he nodded towards her. Lorette continued to try and keep Damien’s hopes up. Telling him just a little longer, they’re almost out. She would also look over to Ren, who was slowly walking beside Izuor, her silver eyes looking glazed over some.

The closer they got to the end of the maze the worse Damien and Ren seemed to get. Lorette only grew more and more worried. She was still holding tears back as she heard a small whimper come from Ren. Her blue eyes looked over as she watched Ren stumble forward some, one of her hands grabbing onto Izuor’s arms as she fell to her knees. She then began to cough, some blood appearing on her hand.

Izuor swiftly picked Ren up into his arms as he continued to make his way forward. “Don’t let you guard down, the exit is close.” he’s say to Ren, his deep voice sounding softly than it usually would.

“They can’t take it anymore…” Lorette almost cried out as she continued to help Damien along, now lagging behind Izuor some.

“You talk as it we’re not here.” Damien joked, though pain was clearly heard in his voice. At the same time Izuor only replied, “They have too.”

Lorette looked to Damien and softly whispered his name, knowing he was still trying to stay strong for her. Even when he is in this condition, he’s still trying to make sure Lorette stays okay. Still trying to stay calm Lorette’s eyes would look from Damien, to Ren, to the maze ahead. And as soon as she saw the opening to the end of the maze, she almost felt hope, but that’s when something horrible happened. Damien had already lost to much blood and before they could reach the end of the maze, he becomes unconscious and falls to the ground. Lorette barely catching him, and with all the strength she had left pulling him to the end of the maze.

Ren’s breathing had gotten worse as she entered into a coma like state. Though one of her hands held tightly onto Izuor’s cloak as they walked out of the maze.

Finally being out of that horrid place, the two would no longer really grow worse, but neither would they heal.

Reaching the end Lorette fell to her knees and held Damien close to her, no longer being able to hold back her tears. She was to scared. Her best friend wasn’t waking and her lover was bleeding to death.

“So, did you have fun in my beloved maze?” mocked the illusionist as she floated a few feet above the small group.

Gently placing Ren down, Izuor softly took her hand releasing it from his cloak and placing it on her stomach. He then turned back to the illusionist who only smirked down towards him more.

“How can we heal them. Tell me and I shall make your suffering shorter, cause you aren’t getting out of here anymore.” Izuor spoke deeply as his eyes began to glow a toxic green. The ground slowly starting to shake around them like a earthquake.

Lorette pulled Ren to her as well as she watched Izuor and the illusionist, hoping it would all be over soon.

“Oh, you think I’ll just tell you the answers to my tricks? No, no, no.” the illusionist would giggle as she’d move around some.

“You know there is no way out, now. The magic walls and the maze was really entertaining but it’s all over now.” Izuor would spoke darkly again. His glowing eyes staying on the illusionist as he began to cast a spell.  Darkness would slowly engulf the area around the illusionist, like a black fog. Soon all they could hear was the echoing of her voice as she tried to fight the nightmares within the darkness. Summoning his scythe, the blade began to glow a toxic green like his eyes. Moving forward he too disappeared into the darkness.

Lorette looked away as she hugged Damien and Ren closely to herself. She could hear the illusionist scream, and then just stop. The darkness vanishing as blood now could be seen covering everything in the area. Lorette sat shocked and in slight terror as Ren’s eyes slowly fluttered open.

Izuor looked the illusionist body over for any scrolls or healing potions. Finding nothing he makes his way back over to the small group, and taking Ren up into his arms once again.

Lorette would slowly stand, pulling Damien up with her. His arm around her shoulder as she tried to hold his weight once again.

“You need medical treatment.” Izuor would say towards Ren, who would be looking towards Lorette and Damien.

“P-please, help Damien.” Lorette would ask softly, her worry taking over her.

Izuor would already be making his way away from the area, now ignoring the girl and her mate.

“Please!!! Just this once help him!” Lorette would scream, causing Izuor to stop walking.

“Please, Izuor…Help him.” Ren would whisper softly as she looked up to Izuor.

“Fine…Follow me.” Izuor would speak deeply as Lorette would hurry over as fast as she could with Damien. Walking for a short while Izuor would finally teleport the four of them to his mansion…
This is just a preview, so when it comes to this part in the actual story it may be a little different.
But, I have been wanting to get more previews made, and really wanted to do on from the Dark Harvest, so I finally did.

I hope you guys enjoy! And hopefully I'll be able to makes some more previews.
