Note: {this is the Twist}, On a Haunted Museum's tour, {Raven-Wind,} and the {Shaman Rastlin} friends awaken an ancient evil and threaten to Keep them on the "Road to Nowhere."

It was a dark stormy night in the middle of {Castle Rock,} sitting at my desk in my dorm room and studying for my criminalize/journalist test.

When I {Raven-Wind} was suddenly looking through the universal portal door, my curiosity got the better of me; I {Raven-Wind} walked through regardless of my subconscious warning signs.

Surrounded by traps and mythological creatures, further in I {Raven-Wind}, walked for miles it felt and came to a clearing surrounded by dark Elves; startled, the head of the pack led me to a hidden cloth door that was another portal.

This portal had a creepy vibe; all you hear in the background was soft groans and a low growl, looking up at an owl pierced down with his beady eyes just looking at me.

Sitting around a fireplace, everyone looked at me with less curiosity, and some people had fears.

Silence filled the room when the head “Dark-Elf” spoke; some were in tongues, and others hurt with curiosity.

Head of the “Dark-Elves placed in my hands a scroll, I {Raven-Wind} as read in this little light from the fire, the other “Dark-Elves” couldn’t keep their eyes off me for fear, and just then the floor opened up.

My instincts kicked in. I {Raven-Wind} started floating up, and then the whole room went dark; a thing appeared from the smoke and was everywhere.

Once the smoke cleared, I {Raven-Wind} was trying to get my thoughts in order, looking around the room for a switch or a candle and finding nothing.

Pages after pages, from miles around, just stood there looking out into space. Just then, a hand pulled me out of a suspicious portal, and now I {Raven-Wind} was in my dorm room.

Pages after pages, from miles around, just stood there looking out into space. Just then, a hand pulled me out of a suspicious portal, and now I {Raven-Wind} was in my dorm room sitting across from an old friend, "Rastlin {Shaman}."

I {Raven-Wind}, didn’t care about the dorm rules then; a friend just saved me, staying up the whole night with the constant thank you and reminiscing about the good old days.

I woke up early and left a note for "Rastlin {Shaman}," asking for an extension on my essay. After approval, I quietly entered my room, trying not to wake "Rastlin {Shaman}," but it was too late. I noticed a spacious feeling and saw a smoky grey cloud filling the room.

Make sense of the situation; a whisper came out of the shadows to get my attention. I {Raven-Wind} was about to move close to the shadows when something grabbed my shoulder and pulled me into the shadows, just missing a clue of what that cloud of smoke was.

Now that I {Raven-Wind} was in the shadows, a question comes to mind and says, “Who is there?”

Searching for a light switch, I {Raven-Wind}, found an owl parched in the rough top and surrounded by mythological creatures.

Using the gifts that I, Raven-Wind, was born with, I reach out to communicate with one or more creatures. Just then, the back of my neck crawls with chills. Once again, Rastlin, the Shaman, calls and says my name. Raven-Wind, answer!

Pushing my way through, trying to reach my friend, but the more I {Raven-Wind} tried to move, the space closed, and somebody cast a spell to free me.

The spell malfunctioned and transported Raven-Wind into a book surrounded by scrolls. Every time Raven-Wind tried to run, the pages would turn blank.

Only scrolls filled my view as I walked through the pages. Saying "Raven-Wind," trying everything to get you out!

Well, since I’m {Raven-Wind} going to be here for some time, I might as well make the most of it and start picking up the ‘scrolls, and nothing unusual happens. Just then, a shiny glow appeared out of nowhere and stopped my tracks.

Sitting in the center of the floor, a wave of power came across me. Raven Wind was channelling "Rastlin, the Shaman," and asking for the spirits to come.

If anyone can do that, it will be him. Any back to me sitting on the floor with the guidance of the spirits. Don’t get me wrong, born with the “Gift,” it doesn’t hurt to double the power and get out of here!

Another flash of blue fireball with a message read, “How are you making out?” No way to tell him, I {Raven-Wind} found one of the blank scrolls, used a feather ink pen and wrote: {there is still some glow on some scrolls, but “PLEASE” gets me out of here!}

Still thumbing through the scrolls, this one stood out; frantically opened, words magically appeared and said; {the way to escape from the book of forbidden scrolls follows this riddle to the letter!}

The puzzle goes: {What can travel worldwide without leaving its corner? About to answer out loud, the answer is a stamp.} A cloud of smoke appeared and was magical in my dorm with “Rastlin {the Shaman} standing there with his mouth wide open, catching flies.” A cloud appeared, and I was in my dorm room.

I talked with Rastlin, the Shaman, about this "road to nowhere" thing, and we both concluded that misleading portals keep appearing. The mystery is afoot, and it's trying to be funny. Rastlin the Shaman said, "This is not the time or place to make jokes."

Suddenly, the lights went; looking for a flashlight or a candle, finding one, I {Raven-Wind} went to see if the whole campus was in darkness; it was, you would think that would stop us, nope, and a road appeared out of nowhere.

We had nothing to lose, so we started walking.

Walking for hours, a trail off the path, looking at each and said {“Why Not!”}

A portal appeared, forming an enormous cloud of smoke, standing in a line full of people. Confused, we just went with the flow and are now on a tour bus.

Once the bus stopped, the conductor said, “Everyone off.”

On a Haunted Museum’s tour, {Raven-Wind,} and the {Shaman Rastlin} friends awaken an ancient evil and threaten to lead them on a continuous {Road to Nowhere!}
