A silver-haired man sat atop a lonely mountain peak, his hair billowing gently in the wind.
Although he was perched on a mountaintop, the surroundings were so dark it felt like he was underground, with not a single light turned on.
The entire place was silent, the only sound being the occasional thumping of a heartbeat.
It seemed to echo from him, and from the world at the same time.
His aura was completely nonexistent, and he appeared wholly mortal, not a single strand of energy emanating from his body. His chest rose and fell steadily, as though in deep sleep.
Suddenly, the stillness of the place was shattered by the crunch of stone beneath heavy footsteps, echoing loudly across the mountain.
Another silver-haired man ascended the peak, each step he took cracking the ground beneath him. Fine fracture lines raced outward from his feet, spiderwebbing across the mountain surface.
