Ned woke up in a strange, yet familiar place. His vision blurring from the sudden light Rassus burst into his mind and it took him moments to adapt to a sudden change in his surroundings. He was back at the Plain. And it was exactly the same as how he remembered it. Endless darkness that devours everything in sight. The Plain was eerily quiet Ned clutched his chest to calm his beating heart.
"So it's you," Ned spoke. The sound of his voice echoed in a distant place, reaching somewhere unfathomable.
"Kid."
Ned immediately spun around to the source of the voice. His eyes widened in a flash but quickly retracted his surprise for he knew that the man before him wasn't his Master.
"You're not him," Ned said over the eerily quiet chamber of darkness.
