White rays of sunlight fell inside the hexagonal city, and basked e in a layer of white

Inside the empty city, on the abandoned streets, a blonde rey robe walked forward slowly He surveyed his surroundings froht occasionally as his feet stepped over littered building debris and rubbish There were also soround that looked like white dots, and could be seen everywhere on the city streets

Both sides of the street were filled with ashen shophouses and the occasional , and there were broken stone sculptures on the roofs of the buildings

All of the doors and s of the buildings were now empty black holes that allowed the cold wind to blow in endlessly

The blondeso noises as he walked

He walked on the streets alone while his eyes scanned the area froh ti for a distance, the hbourhoods and walked unto an ashen stone arched bridge

The right side of the bridge had been daed by an unknown object and only left than half of it was left Beloas a dried out river bed, where an abundance of fine green grass was growing in the black river bottole survivor?" The e slowly, as a doubtful expression appeared on his face

After he had separated froo to thefor-- the Striped Crystal Initially, he thought that he would have encountered at least a few monsters, he certainly did not expect that he would not even see one

"Garen! En… En… Oh…" Suddenly, the sound of Angel yelling and its echoes could be heard in the distance

Garen looked towards his left near the further parts of the river, and saw Angel and Vicky walking further away in the direction of the river Both of theht red leather ar noises sounded throughout the empty city endlessly, and forel’s voice echoed from a distance

Garen raised a hand and shook it froel soon realised that her loud yells would easily attractInstead, she used her hand movements to point in the direction of the furthest part of the river to signal that she alking over there

Garen understood her actions and walked forward to point out his own direction as well

Both of them waved at each other before they separated and continued walking forward

After crossing the stone bridge, a street shaded by trees lay ahead, and when the cold wind blew, the fallen leaves on the ground would roll past and round

On the side of this street, a roilted buttonwood trees were planted there There were almost no leaves on the trees, as round

Garen walked forward cally slow pace, when in actual fact every step he took covered a great distance, and was actually an average person’s running speed

He surveyed the environs and noticed that a majority of the shops on both sides of the street were clothing stores and accessory shops There were shelves of women’s clothes and jewelry displayed inside, and so racks had already collapsed while thick layers of dust had accumulated on top of the expensive fabric

In the middle of the road in front, a brass statue was built there It was a statue of a little boy in a urinating position which was connected to a round pool below The pool had dried up completely and a pile of wilted buttonwood leaves had accumulated at the bottom of the dried out ashen coloured pool

Garen walked to the side of the pool and stretched his hand out to pick up a buttonwood leaf The wilted leaf resees

He pinched it gently and the leaf instantly let out a crunchy noise, before it broke into ht his hand up towards his nose and sniffed it, as a dry scent entered his nostrils immediately

"What caused so many people in this city to leave this place? There isn’t a single trace of monsters However, the fallen watchtower outside clearly shows that a war had broken out"

Still uncertain, he threay the leaf pieces in his hands, and crossed over the decorative pool

After crossing this neighbourhood, up ahead on the right side, a plaza that was filled ilted leaves appeared before Garen

The plaza was oval shaped with three different stone sculptures in the le-horned beasts that were posed in a neighing position with a single hoof raised Their snohite bodies had began to show thin crack lines

On the sides of the plaza, long strips of flower beds had been erected to line the borders, but only black soil re tiaze scanned across the plaza before he looked in front and noticed a foggy rectangular building there

It looked like a si was propped up by black stone pillars that were spread out at equal distances froraved at the top

Garen quickened his footsteps and walked towards this building

Once he had reached the front of the building, he saw a triangular fountain at theinside had been split in the ht and the other to the left, for the shape of an eye On the outer area of the road stood two bronze statues of people They were both identical statues of a younga book in one hand Garen felt as if he was leading so with him, so he turned his head and looked behind as he walked forward and took long strides

Garen came fro in front of the sculpture and stroking the huently

The temperature was extreround was also rough, and very hard

He looked down at his fingers and noticed that a thin layer of black dust had appeared there

He arched his head upwards and looked at the sunlight Garen suddenly noticed that the sky had started to turn dark The rays that had warmed his body earlier had now disappeared Instead, it was substituted by a cold breeze

Garen furrowed his brows and took his pocket watch out of his pocket Inside the brass watch face, the hour hand stood straight at the ‘1’ position

"One-twenty in the afternoon, ould have thought that it would be cold at this hour?" He kept his pocket watch carefully and wrapped his grey robe tighter around his body He took long strides and walked towards the e e door was as tall as two people, and the golden keyhole in the rade Two silver chains hung outside the main door, and were probably used to tie it up

Garen lifted the chain and twisted it lightly with his fingers

Clang!

A crisp noise sounded before the chain broke into two
