The young girl and Grey reached the abode of the Sequence Elder in a surprisingly short amount of time. By the time they arrived, Grey's gaze immediately fell upon an entrance carved into the side of the mountain.
The entrance itself was not blocked by anything, yet Grey could not see what lay beyond it. The interior was shrouded in a thick veil of darkness that seemed to swallow all light that attempted to penetrate it. It was as though the darkness within the mountain was not ordinary darkness, but something alive that deliberately concealed everything hidden beyond the entrance.
At the same time, a large amount of dense fog was seeping out from the ground. It slowly spread in all directions, gradually covering the entire area surrounding the mountain.
Although the fog obscured the ground from ordinary sight, Grey could clearly see through it. His eyes remained fixed on the scene before him, and what he saw caused his expression to become slightly solemn.
