Decay And Despair

Cain stepped through the shimmering portal with Ash behind him. A suffocating silence hit them as they entered the realm. There were no whispers of the wind, no insects chirping, just a dreadful stillness that made their ears ring. Cain was finding it difficult to breathe and he turned to Ash to see if it was only him. Ash was on his knees and was choking. The air was heavy and was difficult to breathe in, but yet it seeped into their lungs, tasting of decay and despair. Ash fell to the ground and lost consciousness immediately, while Cain tried fighting it.

"Ash ….. wa..ke…. Up.." Cain managed to say as he shook Ash to wake up.

Cain's vision became blurry and he fell on his side and lost consciousness.
