Huala!
With the bellowing of a bone-chilling gust of wind that seemingly aimed to wrap around the hearts of the weaker-willed men susceptible to the influence of fear, a thick, noticeably supernatural layer of darkness began to spread throughout the forest.
This suppressed the faint green illumination provided in various areas of the Darkwood Forest by the glowing moss clinging to the trunks of the eerie black trees dotting the forest.
The range of the illumination cast by their glows decreased drastically, which in turn affected the vision of the entire group.
Their field of vision was reduced to a mere twenty feet in front of them.
Most of them felt unnerved.
Clearly, knowledge itself wasn't proving enough to steel their hearts from reacting to the horrors they had only heard about. Experiencing it firsthand caused dread to seep into their bones, and they felt as though they had been doused with cold water.
