It was the dead of night along the forest path between Winterseed and Winterseed II. With no moon in the sky, the forest was eerily enveloped in darkness.
In the middle of this path, close to a very huge tree, two people could be seen—both of them were unconscious, their eyes white, and their pupils nowhere to be found. They looked as if they were dreaming!
As they stood there, a strange figure suddenly shot out of the darkness.
It was the embodiment of darkness itself.
It was almost like the shadows. Its movements were so erratic that even seeing how it looked in the dark was impossible.
Ren and Liara tilted their heads toward the shadowy figure the moment it emerged from the darkness. It was as though a voice had called out to them.
In their unconscious state, both of them stared at the shadowy figure.
The shadowy figure approached them.
