BOOM!!
The moment Ryker and the rest of his team stepped into the gate, their surroundings changed entirely. In an instant, their bodies were enveloped in a blinding light and then they were thrown apart like fragments scattered by a storm.
Each one reappeared in a separate section of the environment, alone.
Szzzt!!!
Lucas blinked rapidly as he landed on his feet as his spear braced defensively in front of him. The ground beneath was coarse, burnt black earth covered in a thin layer of gray ash. The air smelt of sulfur and blood, the temperature thick and dry. Jagged rocks jutted out from the cracked terrain. Crimson clouds loomed above like watchful eyes.
"This is... the outer layer of the abyss gate?" Lucas muttered as he gripped his spear tighter. Just like in the novel, but somehow worse.
A guttural growl echoed.
GRAAARGH!!!!
