A dark cloud streaked past the lightless sky, crossing the expansive dark forest persisting in the Eastern Highlands.
The cloud moved at a rapid pace, closing in at the speed of sound as its body undulated like a surging wave.
It soon arrived at the edge of the forest where the sea of trees ended before pausing as it evaluated its position.
Just ahead of it, the World's End was in full view though it didn't seem to care about the awe-inspiring sight.
A barely humanoid face emerged with hollow eyes, looking around for a brief bit before zeroing in on a pit not too far away.
As the face disappeared, the cloud moved again, quickly rushing into the pit before it gave way, revealing the appearance of a man with a clean-shaven face and a well-cut head.
Dressed in a gentlemanly attire while wielding a cane, he adjusted his hat and dusted off his sleeves before moving forward at a slow but steady pace.
