"Where…?"
When Garan opened his eyes, confusion was the first thing he felt.
Then came fear.
Only moments ago, he had been kneeling inside the temple alongside the other worshippers, quietly praying to the Great Anomaly.
Now…
He was somewhere else.
Garan immediately pushed himself up from the ground.
"W-Where am I?"
His voice echoed into the distance.
"Hello? Is anyone there?"
There was no answer.
Garan slowly turned around.
Nothing.
Wherever he looked, there was only darkness.
It wasn't the ordinary darkness of a cave or a room with the lights turned off. This darkness seemed endless, stretching farther than his eyes could see.
Yet strangely, it didn't blind him.
He could still see the ground beneath his feet.
And that was when Garan noticed the lights.
Thin strands of strange-colored light traveled across the dark surface.
Red.
Blue.
Gold.
