69. Where the portal leads...

Darkness soon fell over the whole mountain. The shadows of the trees grew stretched from the setting sun until they disappeared and were replaced by the eerie atmosphere. Glowing sharp eyes that belonged to creatures lurking in the dark appeared from the corners accompanied by the low guttural sounds of their throat marking their territories.

The noisy chatters from afoot the mountain coming from the bustling capital of Antares subsided. The jolly atmosphere was gone but the occasional talks and giggles of couples strolling around the lit streets were still heard.

The night sky was brimming with stars and the moon was beautifully displayed above the sparkling ocean without any covers hindering its phase. The atmosphere by the sea was serene, giving out a vibe of a perfect lovers' rendezvous.

Overall, Antares looks very peaceful, yet behind the tranquil ambiance that settled in the land, was a danger prowling somewhere not to be found.
