Chapter 5x – Before the Storm
A temple that was once basked in glory and reverence now stood in ruins as trees had long clawed its roots in its crevices. Thick green mosses began covering its former white walls carved with bas – relief of humans and dragons, while being shadowed by the trees' canopy. The twittering of the birds from nearby tree branch, the undisturbed buzzing of an insect's wing, the merry chirping of squirrels chasing each other and all of the serene sounds of the forest filled this place now as it stood forgotten and hidden.
As a passing breeze rustled the leaves gently under the warm sunlight, a certain man stood in absolute silence as he gazed at the temple, perhaps, lost in his thoughts. Suddenly, he heard a tiny crackle not far from the bushes on his left which pulled him out of his thoughts. Turning his head to the noise, he saw a dear with white spots dotting its back. The animal was looking at him curiously as it twitched its ears, seemingly undeterred to run away.
The man could not help smiling at the sight of the animal who did not seem to treat him as a disturber of the peace around here despite his strange appearance. He then turned his gaze back to the temple before him, pulling the hood of his white coat enough to shadow his face.
He stepped into the looming shadow of the ruins before him. Unfazed, he uttered words that not even the one from the world below would understand.
"Thou hast now walked into the written fate of this world and only thou shalt be the one to unwritten what is destined. Only thee, Master Tactician."
