The Light

Slowly, his eyes started adjusting to the light. He could see bright spots of green here and there, before the true scene around him was released. 

He was in a bright landscape. Trees all around him, and the bright sky above it showing off a wonderful picture. 

Sister Annie was in front of him, looking at him with worry. 

"What are you doing, Shadow King? Let us get going." She said. 

Jake looked around one more time. 

"That's it? The path of saints is that easy? That doesn't make any sense." Jake was confused and even wary.

"Look ahead. The rest of the party is already going forward. We have to run fast." Sister Annie said. 

Jake looked at where Annie was pointing, and saw that the entire party of twenty or so people were indeed walking in front of them, a few meters away. 

Father Joseph was in the fore front, leading the way. They had all gotten out, much earlier than he did.
