Our group continued flying forward, and while doing so, we met with many foes and enemies in our path. The weakest of the bunch were the dumb rats.
From what I could gather, we have finally entered the inner region of the Dark Garden.
No longer were there man-trapping trees, and no longer were there small trees and a few tall ones in between.
It was the complete opposite now. The trees at this point were gigantic, some could easily be seen reaching to the height of the very pillars and stalagmites that were carrying this entire world.
Giant trees kept the wind at bay, and under their darkened shade were more trees competing and growing to gain a glimpse of light from the massive crystal that was barely brightening this darkened world.
The whole area from here onward was eerily silent and for a reason.
The moment we entered the region we were already blasting several of the rats away, with guns and bullets and explosives all over.
