I stood before the large iron door, my heart was pounding and I could feel myself sweating. I have to admit I was feeling a mix of fear and excitement standing before those doors. Mule ever I couldn't let myself be scared off now. I pushed the door open and walked into a empty room with no roof and old pots to the left and right. The room appeared to be quite old because the walls and the pillars supporting the building were crumbling. I could also hear the distant sound of footsteps slowly getting closer. Whatever it was had to be massive because I felt the ground tremble as the sound got louder. I drew my sword and readied my shield as the beast finally showed itself. It had jumped from the roof, it was massive and it was wielding what appeared to be a huge hammer. It was a sickly green and was quite the fat creature. It had two horns and teeth that bulged out of its head. It made a sudden charge for me, I rolled out of the way as it brought down its mighty hammer. As I was going to attack the creature from behind it brought its hammer around behind it. I quickly pulled up my shield and blocked the blow. However the force of its swing was so great that it sent me flying back towards one of the pillars. As I was recovering from the blow the beast proceeded to smash me with its hammer again. I dodged the attack however the force of it sent me dealing back. "How am I going to defeat such a strong creature." I looked around the room and saw a small ledge that would lead to the roof. I then had an idea, I charged towards the creature and stabbed my sword into its leg. It let out cries of pain as I proceeded to stab into the monster and climbed it. When I got to its head it started thrashing about and slamming into the walls as an attempt to shake me off. I held on tight until it headed towards the ledge. I leaped toward it and pulled myself up quickly. I looked back down to see the creature still thrashing about. I count inured across the roof and soon say a body with two keys around its waist. I tried to pull the keys off, but it was tightly strapped on. These keys seemed to open the cells of this asylum which this chosen undead could be held up in. I decided to lug the body around until I found a prisoner held up in a cell. Honestly I was completely unsure if this chosen undead was in one of these cells or not. I was moving entirely on a hunch, I slowly began to lose hope as I looked through the bars on the ceiling of each cell only to see it either empty or with a mindless hollow banging its head against the wall of its cell. However one cell I looked into had a figure sitting quietly in its cell. It had the armor of a standard low ranking knight on. Something told me this was who I was looking for. I pulled the body over and dropped it through a hole in the ceiling. The figure stood up and approached it. I stood up and began making my way back to the entrance to meet it. However I soon saw a shadow form over me. I quickly turned around only to see a massive hammer coming toward me. I was too late to react and it smashed me through the ceiling into a slightly flooded room. I could feel every bone in my body break as I hit the ground. I barely managed to pull myself up on a pile of rubble. I looked up at the hole I made in the ceiling and saw that monster slowly walking away. "Looks like it blindsided me huh. Was as I going to die here?" My thoughts were interrupted by a large metal ball that came crashing into the room I was in. I looked towards the hole it made and saw a person with the armor of a knight on. I knew who it was and in that moment realized what I had to do.
