The last thing he remembered was how he got drawn into some swirl. And now he was in this strange place with the rests of his team.<p>It seemed as if he was standing on the bottom of the sea. High above his head there were fish shoals and huge turtles swimming (or flying?). But it was not water all around. If it was water, he would not be able to breathe or move freely. As if the air around was viscous and humid like some extremely transparent liquid in which he could breathe.<p>There was a faded portal behind him. Somewhere on the other side of the portal there were [[Jeremy]], [[Tark]] and the cunning witch [[Casmetra]] with the Horn. Now [[Bidley]] realized – all of this was framed up by the witch so she could obtain the artifact! While [[Bidley]] was taken captive, he overheard [[Dargem]]. He got to know that [[Casmetra]] hired a {{hv\|mage\|MageArchMage}} to find the Horn but when he failed she threw him into a cavern. That is why he wanted to avenge himself on her and take the ancient relic. But [[Bidley]] should have thought about it earlier.</p>}}
