The dark red sun of the Plains of the Abyss hung slanted on the horizon, leaving one uncertain whether it was dawn or dusk. Across the barren and desolate land, a four-wheeled carriage was making its way to the south at a steady pace.
To call it a carriage might not be entirely accurate, for the two creatures pulling it did not resemble normal horses. Their bodies were as black as solidified magma, with fierce flames blazing around their hooves, manes, and tails.
These were Nightmares, evil creatures born from the transformation of noble Pegasus, providing services to such powerful beings as Liches, Death Knights, or Demon Lords.
