"Where in the world..."
When Raven's vision re-adjusted, he found out that he was on a different place altogether.
Dark and ominous clouds loomed over his head. The moon was awfully close and was died with a blood-freezing shade of red.
He could hear howls of wolves, rustling of bushes and he could also feel the heavy atmosphere in the air.
"So...you finally reached this point."
An ethereal voice passed by his ears, sending shivers to his spine. Raven hurriedly looked over and saw the faint silhouette of Inos, sitting on one of the tree branches while looking at him with a kind smile.
"Partner!" Raven said in an elated manner. "You appeared, which means that I reached the first checkpoint right?"
"Correct." Inos nodded in satisfaction. "You might be confused about this, so allow me to explain."
