Mother Nature
Where is this?
Valen blinked dazedly, looking around. The forest? He frowned when he recognized the trees and the flow of mana. But why didn't he recognize it immediately?
Valen looked up, and what he saw was...darkness.
Where was the moon? The stars? Where was the freaking sky?
The top of the forest was completely dark, as if it was shrouded in a massive black veil. That was why Valen couldn't recognize where he was. The lakeside forest, even at night, was not dark. Moonlight shone through the thin foliage, glowing mushrooms climbed the trees, and unique plants from the realm of nature shone like scattered candles.
But this time, not even those little mushrooms and flowers shone, as if lights were getting sucked by something. It was like how a Nightmare fear would induce cold even in the middle of a Salamander's volcano.
"What...what is happening?" Valen gasped in bewilderment. "Why is the forest like thi--ughh!"
