Outrunning the Tempters wasn't an easy job especially for Ezra, unlike Silas who was familiar with the whole place plus for a person with goat legs he was pretty fast even Ezra couldn't keep up with him most of the times. Ezra was right behind Silas, if he took a turn so did he.
The storm was finally settling down and the shadow cover was getting lifted slowly but hopefully, Silas led Ezra to a garden that was similar to the garden of Eden. But this garden unlike Eden it was dark and dying, everything in it was either black, poisonous or had thorns. The two hid behind a big tree that had no leaves it's branches were falling, it was dying.
"Can you see them?" Ezra trying to catch his breath.
"Let me check" Silas peaks over the tree to see if there was something or what, luckily he didn't see no Tempters or hear no Tempters.
"Well?" Ezra asked.
"No I don't hear any of them, I think we outran them" Silas keeps on looking.
"Are you sure?" Ezra being doubtful.
"Come on kid, we best get out of here because what's in here is way worse than muscular lizard body, fish heads" Silas gets up.
Ezra just followed Silas' lead the storm was now over and the clouds were clearing instead of beautiful bright blue skies like the Holy Place, the sky was black and white as for the sun it was an eclipse sun. The garden was dead as a whole, yet again alive at the same time.
"What's this place called?" Ezra making sure he doesn't step on any moving roots.
"Do you know the garden of Eden?" Silas busy kicking with his hooves, like he was looking for something.
"Yeah before I came here I passed through it, which I'm pretty sure when I get back I'm in deep trouble" Ezra being careful.
"Well this is the upside garden of Eden, it's called the Garden of Unholiness" Silas keeps on kicking.
Finally Ezra sees the building a little bit closer than before at first was doubtful because the first time he thought he was getting a little closer, but he was still in the same place.
"Oh thank God" Ezra sighing with relief.
"Wow kid you must really love the guy" said Silas.
Ezra ignored Silas and they just kept walking, already Ezra was in a bad shape his clothes were now torn and dirty under the black and white sky it looked like his clothes were also black and white. As they got closer to the building, Ezra gets a major headache but he tries to shake it off.
"Hurry up will you!" Silas a little further than Ezra.
Ezra runs to catch up to Silas when he gets there he hyperventilates as if he just ran a marathon across the world.
"What's happening to me?" Ezra feeling kinda tired.
"Whoa kid you are sweating you luckily you ain't human, because if you were the Time Eater will have it's way with you" Silas keeps on walking.
"What?" Ezra getting worse.
"Time Eater you know the big mysteries flow of energy that is all over the place, the dark spirit energy that sucks time making it move fast than usual" Silas explained.
This didn't make any sense to Ezra to him it felt like minutes now he receives this kind of information.
"Mini Cow, how long have we been walking?" Ezra stops to cool down.
"Hah, hah very funny kid you know we've been walking for twenty minutes" Silas said.
"Phew I thought it's been hours" Ezra relieved.
"What's wrong with you, you know twenty minutes in here means twenty days, right?" Silas confirms.
"What?!" Ezra couldn't believe it.
Here's the funny thing since time in the Unholy Ground was different from the Holy Place or earth time, Ezra has already lost twenty days and to make matters worse his body couldn't keep up with the time so he was starting to age and decompose.
"Whoa kid you look awful, why? I thought you were dead" Silas now confused.
"Dead? How can I be dead if I'm still human?" Ezra asked.
"What?! You are human?!" Silas getting frustrated.
"Yes!" Ezra agrees to that statement.
Something changed in Silas like his mind switched and he started to twitch he charged towards Ezra like a bull. Hit Ezra in the stomach, Ezra was too weak to move out of the so he flew so far and crash landed at the end of the garden.
"Filthy human!" Silas pretty angry.
He stared to jump up and down not knowing what to do, he shook his head stomped around the ground like a mad bull.
(Coughing) "what was that for?" Ezra in pain.
"You are human! You filthy creature, your kind isn't wanted here!" Silas pretty angry.
"What do you mean I'm not wanted here? I've been sent to find the one who will bless me, I've told you that!" Ezra gets up.
Silas charges at him again and sends him flying now out of the garden, Ezra coughing and out of breath he enters the building gate. The building was black like coal it was so big it was made out of magma rocks, it didn't have window all it gave was an eerie sound. The only thing left was the ominous thunder rumbling.
Noticing that Silas was getting more and more violent Ezra runs inside for safety, Silas runs after him his skin somehow became even more red than normal.
"Who goes there?" A woman's voice echoed.
Ezra managed to get inside through the entrance he looks behind to see Silas, Silas backs away and is afraid like a dog kicked to the ground. And he turns and runs away.
"I will ask again who goes there?!" the woman's voice echoed again.
"Ezra, it's Ezra Bringer I goes there" Ezra feeling pain in his stomach where Silas headed him.
Rocks and stones move around, and the magma rock ground makes a sound like something being pulled or dragged. Small potions of rocks fall from the sky.
