Suddenly, the calmness of the realm began to retreat… as chaos erupted.
The temperature began to drop as the flames vanished from the realm. The molten rivers vanished, and so did the flame pillars erupting here and there.
It was the first but fire wasn't the only thing to retreat. Just a moment later, the metal dug deep as they disappeared as well. The illusion was last but met the same fate as well.
All of a sudden, the whole realm turned pale… almost all signs of life vanished. A tremor appeared as it began to shrink. The realm was getting smaller and smaller at a visible speed.
In just a matter of seconds, the endless realm had reduced to the size of just a kilometer or two.
Within that kilometer lay a castle whose luster still remained the same… but eventually, even it would be reduced to dust like the person within it.
Arghhhh!
