Kion observed the terrain.
Distant spires stretched towards the sky, piercing through the skyline in jagged fashion.
Dead trees loomed around them, their branches twisted and spindly.
And a red mist settled in the atmosphere, coating everything in a light shade of burgundy.
"This must be the Egovore's doing. Don't trust anything you see. This is all some big illusion." Kion muttered to Kai after what seemed to be a moment.
"Well of course it is. The real issue is finding this monster in the midst of all this madness." Kai gestured to the hellish scape all around them.
At the moment, they were in a forest, a dried out one, with sturdy oak trees that seemed to have long exhausted their long lifecycle.
Kion took another quick look around.
He knew his way around nature, being a former run-away mercenary and all, but no matter how he tried, nothing about this place seemed to add up.
