Nebula Gravis

[LagunaX1]

Markus sat on a rock panting heavily. Sticky dried blood coated his left arm as well as his forehead where a recently closed would lay. A day and a half has passed since his encounter with the great spirit and he had never expected things to have turned out this way. He had had the upper hand, the spirit and it's illusions could not break his resolve or will and with his blade coated in diamond he had dealt as much as a death blow an immortal could take. Wrapped in chains the great spirit Phantom had simply laughed and then... Everything vanished.

Markus looked around himself, he had no idea where he was but all he could see was barren land covered in rocks and dying tress, stretching on forever in all directions. But he knew he was no longer in his world from looking at the sky, the entirety of which was a purple haze, a constant aurora of shades of purple. As far as he could tell he was the only human here, all he had come across were grotesque undead beasts that randomly climbed out of the ground and as swiftly descended back under when their surprise attack failed.

He was not dead, or at least he assumed he was not from the wounds on his body. Wounds inflicted by his first encounter with the undead beasts, their quick surprise attack took him off guard and his defense had not been perfect. After a day of walking Markus had decided to simply sit and think, since then he had not been bothered by anything or anyone. He's even risked a few hours of sleep and no harm had come of it.

The last thing he could remember was the world shattering like glass around him, as if forced back by the spirits laugh. He felt his body sucked rapidly downwards through the floor of the temple and into an almost on existent light. He had read of different realms before but had chosen to see them as myth, at least till now. If the myths were true he could very well be in the Realm of Autumn, and as he had fought a Great Spirit of Autumn then perhaps it was not too far fetched to assume the spirit had the ability to access this realm or it's location contained a way to enter it.

Markus got to his feet and decided to put his trust in myths and fairy tales. If they were correct then this barren land wasn't all that was within this realm. There were many land marks listed to be located here, such as the Hall of the Dead or the Temple of Anguish. It was also said that within their respective realms you could find the Gods themselves. Perhaps the only way he'd be able to leave this land was to find and speak with Cinis herself. At the very least he refused to stay motionless any longer, he would keep walking and he would find a way out of this place.
