Switzer, Saki and Kendor continued moving between the woods. There was no wind. Only the sound of footsteps seemed to fill the empty atmosphere. Soon, they stumbled upon a pit in between the trees. The latter followed their jumping into the starting point of an underground tunnel. Walking past a few metres through it, the brightness was erased.

However, Switzer and Saki, who achieved hypervision continued pressing onward with no worries. Kendor stayed calm on Saki's shoulder. The silence continued for an entire hour inside the tunnel.

Saki then noticed a small white dot up ahead. Switzer said, "We're reaching our destination!"

After a few minutes, the seemingly white dot enlarged into an exit, thus depicting a new environment beyond it. As their footsteps reached the other side, Saki took a breather in relief while looking upwards, "It's foggy!"

Switzer commented, "My master's a bit old-fashioned!"

Saki responded, "My granny always told me that 'Old is Gold'!"
