The silent arena lay in utter stillness.
Each passing moment during the anxious wait felt like an unbearable torment.
After a while, everyone seemed to sense something terrifying. One by one, they turned their heads to look toward the distant horizon—the dark clouds in the sky had vanished without anyone noticing.

What was more bizarre was that an eye within the shadow rested half-open, as if viscous fluid seeped from its eerie socket.
It seemed as though something terrible had occurred there… approximately... perhaps...
