For several seconds after the battlefield disappeared, nobody moved.
The silence that followed the collapse of the region felt almost unnatural. Moments ago they had been surrounded by monsters, broken mountains, shifting terrain and a trial that seemed determined to keep them trapped forever. Now there was nothing. No battlefield. No creatures. No cracks in the earth. Even the strange voice that had spoken to them was gone, leaving the group standing in an empty expanse with no clear idea what they were supposed to do next.
Liam slowly looked around.
Then someone appeared.
There was no flash of light.
No explosion.
No disturbance in the air.
One moment there was nothing in front of them and the next, a man was simply standing there.
Liam's eyes narrowed immediately.
