Ashes To Ashes

Everyone stared at Dorian anxiously.

"Was it over?"

"Hmmm."

Hooray! 

Many went into jubilation, jumping into the air and hugging each other greatly.

Chris was so happy to return to his modern era of video games, swearing to cherish life more. 

In fact, he would've loved to drop down and kiss the grass and ground below his feet. But after walking amid rotting grounds in that space for what seemed like an eternity, Chris just couldn't do it anymore. 

He has been psychologically damaged by his experience so no one should blame him for not kissing the ground.

Looking at everyone so immersed in jubilation, Dorian chuckled lightly, turning his attention to Bassano.

What a smart man. Everyone else in his group was merry, except him. He probably knew the reason deep in his heart. 

"You feel it, don't you?"

Eh? 

Feel what? Suddenly, the merry noises quoted down, as all eyes moved between Bassano and Dorian.
