Chapter 52: Calm Before the Storm (2)
Fog had swallowed up the sky like the days before when Hope first arrived in Mirror City. The morning grayed into its mouth of mist as Hope walked carefully down a few city blocks. Further and further left behind was the glass dome tower of Sector Two. And up ahead, the buildings gradually began to tower like little giants.
Windows shattered or clouded with years of dust offered no reflection, vines slithered up their facades of once-grand buildings.
Long burnt-out streetlights were barely visible as looming shapes in the mist.
Step. Step. Step.
Hope's feet brushed through thick patches of grass.
Kraaar–
The sound of Nightmare Creatures could be heard in the distance.
A spark of gunfire as well.
'Not close though.' Hope nonchalantly thought. So he was fine. For now.
No need to be on edge for nothing.
Step. Step. Step.
