"Where are we?"
I looked beside me and watched as Maria looked all around us.
There was nothing to be seen for miles except sand.
The sand, however, was black. Black grains of sand were trampled upon by our feet, and it was spread out for miles.
"This is the Dark Desert. It's a vast body filled with nothing but black sand. It is said that the entire place used to be the territory of a nation before they gave themselves to Dark Magic and became ruined as a result." I smiled.
Looking at how there was nothing to be seen but darkness, the story seemed even more plausible.
The sun was hardly shining, and dark clouds covered the sky.
It appeared to be early evening despite me being certain that we were in in the daytime.
"Oh? I've never heard of that story before." Maria's voice emerged beside me.
I glanced in her direction and saw her confused expression.
