The Way Back Home

"L-Lord of the world…so someone did clear the trial!"

"The sky was shining strangely with three colors, maybe that was an indication!"

Startled by her actions, the others quickly followed.

"Hm," Varian rubbed his chin in amusement. He already knew the ones responsible for pushing them into the Twilight Zone.
