Domains of Darkness (3)

Three individuals gathered in one spot.

A fourth one just about to arrive...

Less than a minute to sweep in.

Others were left to pry.

The Heavens and the dark forest surrounding them were nothing more but a backdrop to the scenario now playing in front of Li Yang, mere observers to the pinnacle of what was about to come. 

He planned to make his way to the exit and the portal now stood in front of them, an array of darker colors imbuing it with a strange energy. But it was at this very portal that Mitsuko used to meet up with them.

"Mitsuko—what are you doing here?" Setsuko asked. She was taken aback by the appearance of the woman, but understood that it was all due to one person. Setsuko didn't quite like to admit it, but it always made her feel uneasy. 

A ridiculous notion when she was the one who had a tangible and physical bond with Li Yang.
