Darkness suddenly appeared before Kieran's eyes.
There wasn't any sign before, as though the darkness itself existed here all this time.
The darkness froze for a second before it slowly faded away.
As though he was slowly opening his eyes, the world turned into black and white before Kieran's eyes. He gazed at the black wilderness and the white river stream beside his feet. Under the gloomy, turbid sky, the land was firm and the river flowed as usual.
Kieran then looked down and sized himself up.
Black and white.
Other than that, he couldn't see any color on himself. He slightly frowned.
He had been in Riverdale, Warren's capital, before this, and he was absolutely sure about his whereabouts.
But now?
Where was this place?
As the thought came, Kieran bent down and touched the black land.
Cold and heavy.
"Not just the color, even the properties changed?" Kieran thought quietly.
