Zetho summoned his strength and activated the room's system. Everything suddenly went pitch black and Yinn yelped as everyone disappeared. "Now, each one of you are about to relive your most horrible experience in life. You must overcome it and not be lost in your pain. This will prove your will to live." Zetho's voice boomed throughout the void. "It will begin now."

Zeo looked around, not sure what would happen next. Suddenly he could see the face of his mother coming from the darkness. "Mom? Is it really you?" he asked, fear in his voice. The beautiful gryphon stepped in front of him and smiled warmly. "You were never my son. I have always hated you." she whispered to him and Zeo stepped back, ear tufts flat to his head, his eyes forming tears. "But mom, I am your son, it's me Zeo!" he said to her. "You're not my son! Give me back my baby!" she screamed and lashed out, her claws leaving painful rakes on Zeo's cheek. Zeo was a small gryphon once more, cowering in the corner of the cave that was once his home. His mother's insanity took hold once again, she didn't recognize him. He watched, terror rising, as she came closer and closer. "Mom, when are you going to stop doing this? When are you going to finally recognize me?!" he yelled at her. He looked to his side and recognized the sharp rock. Grabbing it, Zeo slid closer to his mother. A pure hatred of her arouse in him, hatred for her mental illness, hatred for the fact that she had tortured him throughout his childhood. He raised the rock into the air, ready to kill her. "No...this isn't right..." he thought and lowered it. He bolted past his mother, a full grown gryphon again and leaped from the cave. The darkness returned, only to disappear to the white nothingness again. He had past the test.
