We dragged ourselves out of the cavern and onto one of the jagged floating islands drifting in the endless dark ocean of the Abyss. There was no sky above us — only the oppressive, lightless void that stretched in every direction, broken only by other distant islands and the faint crimson glow that sometimes pulsed from deep within the black waters far below.
The wind here wasn't natural. It was cold, heavy, and carried the distant sound of crashing void-waves against the undersides of the islands.
Bulgeum stood in the center of the rocky plateau, golden flames flickering along his arms as he casually twirled the golden leaf between his fingers. His fluffy gold-and-red hair moved in the unnatural wind, and his black tail swayed slowly behind him. The small sheep-like horns on his head caught what little light there was.
He looked far too relaxed for someone whose father was currently tearing through our strongest fighter inside the cavern.
