The conversation startled me. Knowing of their treachery' I turned in the old sewage pipe and scuttled back to the cool fresh air. Looking up at the old tower I noticed a small bird plummet to my feet. A tower raven. Legend says that when the ravens go the tower will also .A sudden thump near me startles a nearby watchman. I ducked behind a shrub and he leaves. Another plummeting bird near me thumped to the ground. Slowly a pitter-patter of dead birds eased its way into my ears and a large crack made me jump. I looked up and a humongous crack separated the top and the bottom of the tower .Falling rubble made me dart and weave away from the tower and a huge piece of mortar slammed into the Thames with so much force at least 10 square yards of the river jumped out of the rivers and onto the banks. The tower had fallen and a dusty shock wave pushed me into the dark unforgiving river, this however did not get the shock out of me, the tower of London gone. I realized I was sinking and started doing powerful breaststroke until I got to the shore, sadly I realized that I was on the side of the river with what was the tower of London. I went to turn back but a penetrating blue light kept me from moving. It was roughly door shaped yet extremely unnatural. I wanted to turn away but a strange magnetic force pulled me, almost impatiently towards it.without even thinking i walked towards it and entered the light.
