Kyle stepped out of the portal, but instead of finding himself in front of the seals, he found himself in an open expanse where a worn-out array was carved on the ground.
He glanced around and noticed that the land surrounding the array was desolate. A lot of people were already standing on the array, and he quickly joined them.
Kyle's eyes shifted downward as he examined the symbols on the array; they were both old and worn. A look of surprise crossed his face when he realized he couldn't comprehend them.
Ultimately, he memorized the design of the symbols to understand them later.
After everyone had gathered on the array, Odiak used a golden orb, and a bright light surged from the array to envelop them all before they disappeared.
Kyle opened his eyes as the sounds of battle echoed in his ears. He watched a tiny ice flake land on his nose and noticed that everything around him was covered in ice.
