Chapter 1492: Wrapping up the loose threads

Not the peaceful hush of a sleeping world, but a dead, oppressive silence that clogged your ears and choked the breath from your throat. The trees, skeletal and twisted, reached towards the gray sky like skeletal fingers clawing for escape. Their branches, devoid of leaves and stripped bare by some unseen force, clawed at the air like skeletal hands.
