Let's Split Up

Although the Seeker's Tower was right in front of them, Sunny had little hope that they would be able to reach its entrance this time. Not only was the tower protected by the eerie enchantment, but the revolution was also close to its end — it had taken them a lot of time to find Effie and get back to the heart of the island. 

He did not know how much longer they had, exactly, but it might have been mere minutes. 

In the end... they never found out. 

The black cliff was surrounded by a wide open space where there were no trees. Not long after the members of the cohort cautiously abandoned the forest, a gentle wind caressed Sunny's face, forcing him to look up. 

Wind Flower was shrouded in impenetrable darkness, so no one except for Sunny could see… but there was something there, above them, hiding in the black expanse of the misty sky.
