A sinister apparition

Cliff stood there, captivated by the unearthly beauty of the scene before him. The still sea, like a perfect mirror, reflected the glowing glow of the moon, creating a mystical and captivating atmosphere. He felt transported to another world, ironically he was, and literally so.

Time seemed to stand still, tranquility reigned supreme. Nothing seemed able to disturb this moment of peace and contemplation, where nature revealed all its splendor in an almost unreal silence.

Slowly, he walked. His steps, small as they were, made the water ripple beneath his feet. It was an almost exhilarating and frightening experience in itself. Cliff walked calmly across a body of water where he couldn't even see the depths, feeling like he was falling with every step.

He was startled when a deep, sinister voice echoed in his head.

" Advance."
