章 259: The dark shadow

The sky was clear with many twinkling stars shining like fireflies.

A magnificent flying ship, adorned with sparkling gems of various colors descended into a deserted area. The ship's exterior was crafted from polished wood and intricate carvings. A small stature man with a large beard floated out from the ship.

He squinted his eyes and took in the sight of a massive crowd of thousands of people gathered in front of an old huge vertical metallic gate.

The gate crackled with an eerie energy, pulsating in the darkness. The man noticed the thick chains that sealed the gate for the past hundreds of years were undone.

His eyes stopped at the fifteen figures clad in messy outfits floating around the gate.
