The garden gnome was packing his bags when he noticed them still standing there.
"Huh? You guys are still here?"
Caelus turned to face him with a casual smile.
"We're just checking out the barrier before leaving to the Path to Worlds."
The garden gnome stroked his long white beard and nodded.
"Move along to the Path to Worlds fast already." He said while stuffing random items into a comically large sack. "I'm leaving too, I won't come back till there's a new flux of players."
He sighed dramatically.
"This Origin Expanse became pretty deserted since the distribution of the Path to Worlds tickets."
The gnome looked around at the empty landscape with a hint of nostalgia.
"But I guess it was bound to happen."
Caelus followed his gaze and observed the desolate surroundings.
The place that was once filled with players hunting beasts was now completely empty.
Not a single soul could be seen for miles.
"This place will be deserted for a while, huh?"
Caelus sighed softly.
