Prelude

Marta and Larkin both seemed able to navigate the endless dark territory as they walked ahead steadily. 

"Marta, does the Vestigial Tribe know the secret of the dark territory?" Merlin, who was following behind Marta, asked suddenly. 

"How would we know all the secrets of the dark territory? But we do know a few things. This dark territory is probably more extensive than the entire Void Zone but it is covered by the power of the natural order, so most likely, it belongs to the Void Zone. As to what is inside, no one knows. Back then, the Vestigial Tribe conquered the entire Void Zone but we never set foot in the dark territory." 

Merlin nodded. The dark territory was indeed mysterious. However, he had never even traveled across the Void Zone, what more the dark territory?
