The end of the black tunnel flashed with light. Time seemed to have stopped, yet as they emerged from the darkness, it was already daylight.
The environment that came into their view was a desert, with the hot red sun blazing down on them and the silhouettes of mountain ranges beyond the far-flung dry sand.
" 'Sire, it is with great joy that we greet you in our camp." As the said man stood at attention in a brown camouflage military outfit, a strong baritone voice yells out, greeting the green-eyed woman.
"Platoon Leader 000 at your service, Commander!" he saluted as he marched up to Xander.
"At ease," Xander said.
"Greetings to the Royal Advisor as well."
With a serene demeanor, Xia Xia nodded.
Platoon Leader 000 led them beyond the mountain ranges to the aforementioned camp. They traveled to their destination in a military truck, passing through sand dunes. The land was so real that even the scorching heat pervaded their clothing.
