The darkness embraced Toren from all sides.
It felt as though his body had been plunged into the deepest depths of the ocean.
It felt suffocating.
Cold.
...And something about the darkness also felt incredibly creepy.
Toren couldn't explain it, but he felt his body gradually pulling inward, as if shrinking into itself into a fetal position.
He shrank further and further in the darkness that eclipsed it all.
But within the darkness, he could see something.
A certain light.
He knew what the light was.
He had seen it many times in the past.
He had even managed to get close to the light in the past.
But he had never been able to touch the light.
He could only watch it but not touch it.
He wasn't capable of touching it.
But this time...
'I'm feeling something.'
Things were different.
This time, he felt closer to the light.
Almost as if he could touch it.
Toren didn't want to let go of that feeling. This was everything he had been hoping for.
