The next day, Alex immediately headed North. It took a few minutes, but he arrived near a cemetery, where Roland's body lay after his burial. No one was aware of its location except Alex and a few others at the Dragon Domain.
The cemetery was empty, other than a few spirits who roamed around. They were spirits who had escaped their graves… those who hadn't been able to cross over to the underworld, and were stuck.
Alex felt pity.
For eternity, they were banned from the underworld, forced to remain in the world of the living, where life rejected their existence, and death couldn't pull them into its embrace. They were in an eternal state of limbo.
There were various reasons for such a state. One of them was dying in the city of Nightmares. If one died in this city, they would never be able to cross over, and forever remain as a spirit to guard the city.
It was a terrible consequence, but the City of Nightmares was not forgiving.
