Entering The Shadow Portal

Leon and Tessa instantly turned in the direction Arin was looking. Their eyes widened as they noticed something forming.

It was a black portal. It wasn't too big, but it wasn't small either. No sound came from it, and nothing emerged. It simply hung in the air, staying still.

Tessa stared at the portal, her eyes slightly widening. "T... That's the Shadow Portal, huh?"

"Yes," Arin replied shortly, stepping forward without hesitation.

Leon, on the other hand, was frozen in place. His mouth hung slightly open, and his body trembled. His mind struggled to process what he was seeing.

As Arin and Tessa walked toward the portal without even the slightest hesitation, panic overtook Leon. He dashed forward and grabbed Arin's shirt, tugging at it.
