Embarking On The Shameful Way...

"Tell me, Kenji, how does one embark on the second way—the shameful way, according to your words?"

"Really simple. Just go to the inner sect area and ring the bell at the far end. Wait, what!?" Kenji asked, in shock, his brain finally able to process Zeras's words, as Zeras tapped him twice on his shoulder before moving on to his mountain abode.

"Thanks for the tips, my loyal General..." Zeras said, waving to him from afar as his back rapidly disappeared into the distance.

"What did I just do?" Kenji asked himself in shock as he looked dumbly at where Zeras left before swallowing and entering his own cave abode.

In the middle of the pitch-dark night, a figure could be sighted sitting at the highest point of the mountain, his eyes calm as he looked into the distant meandering stream.
