We stepped out onto a solid stone platform. Immediately a middle-aged-looking man approached us.
“Academy students?”
“Ye… Yes,” I said, slightly disoriented from the change in scenery.
We had moved from the middle of a bustling city to the outskirts of a small village surrounded by craggy, rocky hills. Instead of the city’s wide array of eclectic buildings, the village only had a few small stone huts.
The majestic Dragon Peak which had soared above the clouds had disappeared. The bounty of colors from its various features, such as the reds and greens from trees and shrubs to the blues and grays from creeks and rivers, were no more. It had all been replaced by a dull brown solid stone mountain that looked rather squat by comparison.
“Please come with me.” The middle-aged man gestured at one of the nearby stone huts.
Bewildered by our new surroundings, the three of us didn’t move.
“Is this the Earth Peak?” asked Shi YuLong. “Where are all the people?”
“Yes, it is,” the man confirmed. “Let’s get you registered first. Once that is taken care of, I can share a bit of information about the peak on our way to the Trial.”
