Atlas waited until most of his mana returned before continuing his journey, which didn't take too long. While sitting there, he enjoyed the incredible misty mountains that stretched as far as the eyes could see.

The fog covered the peaks and seeped down the sides, making the area creepy as the sparse trees breached the top. He was surrounded by cliffs with a dirt road about two carriages wide.

He shook his head and rose, resuming his journey down the winding path. As Atlas rounded a bend, he noticed the dirt road expanding ahead, but the widening did little to help his unease; the ever-present threat of falling into the darkness below loomed ominously.

As Atlas walked, an unsettling sensation washed over him. Before he could react, the ground erupted in an explosion, a dozen spells slamming into the path ahead. The sudden onslaught hurled him into the abyss below, plunging him into the darkness.
