That wasn't supposed to happen!

"Is this it?" Tanya looked around once they reached the so-called designated area and saw nothing. Literally nothing; not even a single settlement or a tree to begin with. It was all barren to the point it seemed intentional for such a place to be left so barren. As if there was a big structure in it or something. However, but there was none, much to Tanya's disappointment.

"Yup." However, contrary to Tanya's mood, Hermes was pretty happy. He looked as if the gate was right before him and he was able to clearly see it. Seeing his enthusiasm, even Tanya, who was the most disappointed out of all, cheered up.

"So, you look real happy! You can see it or what? I mean, maybe it's just invisible for us or something." Tanya sounded hopeful as she popped the question towards him.

"Nah, I see the same as you." Hermes replied, still looking quite happy. However, this time around, his glee was not able to save the team's falling morale.
