Kim and I were in my room when everything went down. We were unaware that anything was happening until the walls started to collapse around us. "What's happening?" She screamed as the only exit was blocked.

"I don't know, but we need to move." I grabbed her shoulders and moved her just as a large boulder was falling where she had been. The situation seemed hopeless, but as a last resort, I decided to put my magic to the test.

I built a fortress of vines around us, so thick and tight that nothing could fall through. Then I sent a few vines upward to the surface so that we would have oxygen.

There were a few loud crashes before everything went deathly silent. We just sat there holding each other waiting for something, anything to happen. Without sufficient sunlight or water, my vines could not hold forever. Eventually they would dry up and crack. We didn't know how long that would be, but we knew it would at least be a few days.
