The red moon was imposing in the night sky, Xior was on the ground, face first as he kissed the soil.
He groaned and got up, his surroundings were changed. He was not at the bottom of the pit but was in front of a gothic mansion, the red moon cast the whole mansion into a dark red hue.
The iron gate was closed, and on its side were gargoyles made up of stone but their eyes were red which shined when he looked at them.
He looked around him and saw an empty barren land, there was nothing apart from the mansion.
As far as he could see, there was only a wasteland. At first he was suspicious of the mansion but he decided to enter it.
He walked towards the gate and with a loud creak, it opened. The small patches of grass which were supposed to be green on the sides of the path leading to the entrance were red.
The plants felt alive as though blood flowed through them. The moment he stepped inside he started hearing countless sounds which felt like heart beats.
