The three entered the Gate together, but once inside, Bibo found himself alone in a dry, arid environment.
"Thalor? Eris?" After a moment of hesitation, Bibo tried to call out to the two, but no response reached him, only the faint whistle of a parched wind.
"Well, as one would expect from a Gate inside a Gate. They are mysterious but full of rewards!"
Bibo began to explore the place. The barren earth, the cracks in the rocky ground, the gray sky, heavy with an unnatural stillness.
Everything in this place seemed static, unmoving like a painting frozen in time.
"How strange…" the boy murmured as he looked around. "This is not how I imagined it… where are the challenges, the treasures, the rewards?"
Bibo continued walking when something caught his eye a faint glint among the rubble.
"Oh? So I am not the first to have reached this place… one of those four came here before me… maybe the reward, the prize to be received in this place, belongs to him-"
