Axis mundi

"Man, that hurt!" Uriel rubbed the back of his neck. Although body had completely healed after Water warlock's blessing activated on its own, everything ached due to spending all of his flux energy. His clothes were in tatters, he lost his backpack but somehow, Jon's fedora hat remained on his head in perfect condition which relieved him and annoyed him at the same time. "What is this place?"

Uriel scanned his surroundings, but it looked like a completely different world. It was cold, dark and grimy. It was the complete opposite to the fresh and sunny top of the cliffs but it felt nostalgic somehow, as it was similar to what living in the slums felt like.

The first instinct of any sane person whenever they found themselves in a dark place was to turn on a light but Uriel didn't have any of his belongings with him anymore. Fortunately, he still had some trites left from his last purchase and he quickly entered his trait to remedy his situation.
