Ancient Civilization

The First Guardian didn't enter the relic; it stood in place, silently waiting for all the mutant beasts to enter. It was the keeper of the relic's order, and as long as it could compel all creatures to enter, its purpose would be achieved.

Shaun gently touched the white light emanating from the relic, feeling its allure. Just as he got closer to the white light, he felt a sense of displacement. A feeling of space distortion washed over him, and he lost consciousness in an instant.

After an unknown amount of time, his consciousness finally returned. However, what shocked Shaun was that he couldn't feel the presence of his physical body at this moment. It was as if he were wandering outside of his own body.
