Sinister sight
As Rain arrived at the magic people's territory, he quickly noticed a few things. The area was notably devoid of the thick dust clouds that typically shrouded the region, creating an eerie and unsettling atmosphere since it was completely empty as well.
Furthermore, as Rain traversed deeper into their territory, he encountered their barrier. However, to his surprise, the barrier exhibited unusual behavior. Instead of its usual sturdy and impenetrable appearance, it seemed to quiver and vibrate intermittently, an indication of the turmoil within.
The absence of the dust cloud coupled with the barrier's unsettling tremors sent a chilling message to Rain. It was evident that something significant and potentially catastrophic was unfolding within the magic people's domain. The barrier, typically a symbol of security and strength, now seemed vulnerable and under severe pressure.
"... I should check things ahead a bit more…" Rain thought.
