After many hours of working on this, it's finally done, the next chapter in
my series. It takes off where Quest for the Crystals left off, where they
were just entering the Cave of Exile. If you haven't read that story yet,
or forgot how it went, I would suggest you read it before you read the new one.

Cave of Exile: Dark Secrets

Wow! This one took a long time to do. I finally finished it tonight after
many hours of hard work over the past few weeks. Not to mention all the
time I spent planning it out. The image editing took a long time, as I had
to manipulate almost every shot I took. Overall I am very pleased with the
way it turned out!
In the story, you will notice that I have introduced several new characters
and revamped some others. Most noticeably the elementals. I just didn't
think they looked evil enough and I think their new form reflects their
evilness better. I have changed my Elementals page to Supreme Beings in
order to include the Wizards and their henchmen.

You will also notice in the story that there was a lot of rock wall in the
shots. I accomplished the effect of a cave by using rock-wall sections that
connected with technic pins.

The large wall splits in half to form two long walls that can be used to
shoot corridor shots. It can also be split vertically to form three
sections, and those sections can be broken down to form six separate wall
sections. Some of the shots though, like the long corridor shot, had to be
manipulated on the computer to give it the effect of being a long hallway.
Well, I guess that's it! Hope you enjoy the updates!
