The Twilight of the Heaven Sealing Mountain was an endless loop, some spots dark as an abyss and others so bright, one might go blind at the sight.

His heart beat furiously.
And so he sat under the waterfall, to maintain a calm state.
He was certain.
An opportunity would come.
And so he waited.
Patiently.
