That Escalated Quickly.

"What the heck?" I muttered while getting up from the bed and walking up to the window.

The sky was starry, and the moons were shining brightly, but the only thing that caught my attention was a beam of golden-white light that seemed to emanate from the ground or maybe even descending from the sky, extending high up towards the clouds.

"Balcker Forest?" I wondered, realizing that the direction of this beam coincided with the location of the forest.

"First the Illusory Path, and now this?" Blaze seemed as shocked as I was.

Without wasting another second, I made up my mind to investigate. I quickly put on a robe and strapped on a sword.

"It seems sleep will have to wait," I said as I closed the door behind me, not worrying about coming home early since my parents weren't there.

It was likely the middle of the night, and most of the streets were empty as I made my way to the outer wall of Sephra.
