"Hehe, that's it, come back to me. Without my help, there's no way you people can go through, even if you're in the Sage Plane."
A voice said after the group started walking back.
Surprisingly, they walked back out of the forest with so much ease that they started to doubt if they were truly out.
"The building is there, and… we all can't be seeing the same thing right?" Reynolds pointed at the building as he asked. He wanted to confirm if what he was seeing was accurate or an illusion caused by their extended stay in the forest.
"The building is there."
The others nodded, which came as a relief to Reynolds.
They walked in the direction of the building, and just as they got there, the gates to the compound opened up.
The group exchanged glances, and with a cautious expression, they walked past the building, not going inside.
"Heh? What's going on?" A confused voice came from inside the building.
