"Where... is this place?"
The sky was plunged into ultimate darkness, a dense silence filled the mountain forest, and there were no sounds of birds, beasts, or insects. On both sides, familiar tiled roofs and brick walls stood quietly, empty and uninhabited, as if it was an untimely moment.
The young girl stood there quietly, looking around with a slight sense of bewilderment, and gazed at the towering, silent temple. She pushed the door open and entered, seeing the everlasting lamp inside, seemingly confirming her location in that moment.
"I'm... back?"
But... wasn't she just in... the Capital City, hadn't she just avenged herself on that enemy...
How, in the blink of an eye, was she back within the sect?
Dead silence surrounded her, the girl stood in place, staring at the overly thick darkness outside the door, layer upon layer of gloom, endless, like ink endlessly building up on paper.
She thought the "World of Ignorance" spoken of in Buddhism was just so.
