There were about 11 people standing in the room near the Rift.
They were divided into 3 groups with three people in the 1st group, five in the 2nd and two in the last one.
In front of the rift was a middle-aged man with a thick beard, standing beside a blood-covered young man who was passed out on the ground. There was a female next to him that was tending to his injuries.
The middle-aged man was smiling sheepishly with a gourd in his hand, from which he would take sips every few seconds.
To the left were the three people dressed in black clothes. The leader was a young man of about 25 years of age. His eyes were closed and it didn't even look like he was breathing. He wasn't exceptionally good looking but one couldn't take his eyes off of him due to the strange presence he exuded. The two next to him were much older men that looked to be in their 40's.
