Once Again in the Ship

Once the barrier was in place, the thumping on the ship's door stopped. Hugo did not rest on his laurels. He knew that he was still in danger since he was aware that there were several abnormally strong creatures lurking in the fog outside.

Hugo summoned Freya's spatial trinket from his Indre-Sinn only to find it coated by a layer of dark fog. It was way too similar to what had choked him when he descended into the Dark Canyon. He tried to send his esper sense into the spatial trinket; however, the darkness barricaded it from entering.

[Was my Indre-Sinn also been affected by the darkness?] Hugo was in a dilemma.
