Moonsong~What is this place?

I walked down...and down...and down. Finally i came to a place with lots of tubes and potions. In the center of the room was a giant hourglass. Some kind of light mist was flouting in the top half. Suddenly the hourglass widened and then squeezed. Wind was being drawn in. But was it wind?
I got closer and two tentacles snapped at me. That thing was alive! I tried to get even closer but the two tentacles snapped at me again. I jumped back. Damn! I can't get even 10 feet within that thing. I took out my sword and got ready for another dodge when i heard yelling and fighting going on above me. I needed to do this quickly. What if someone knew i was here? Again the same inhaling, exhaling, sucking magic thing happened again. It was stealing magic! I breathed in and ran toward the monster/hourglass/leach thingy and dodged its attacks. 7 more feet! Now 5,4,3 BOOM!!
I got the breath knocked out of me. Its tentacles were wrapped around my waist and was squeezing tightly. I tried to cut the tentacle off but another one held my arms and two more with my feet. What is this thing!
Thats when Spati walked down the stairs
