Tenebris' POV:

As we stepped into the door, we stepped into what looked like a whole new reality entirely. The plant life was bountiful and colorful, the skies were a bright blue, and there laid a river that separated one side from the other we were on.

There stood a few rocky places behind us, but I merely saw that as a place to lean on. Yet I didn't feel tired enough to lean on anything. On the contrary, my energy felt restored. "Welcome, to the time garden." The shadowy black orb spoke to us.

"Time garden?" Skyla uttered, confused on the name. "The garden that never tires. It will help you get stronger with ease. The keeper of time has given us permission to train you here." He informed.

"The timekeeper... she set this all up?" Majin asked. "Correct, young warrior." The orb acknowledged. "Wait. Aside from that, what do you mean by 'us'?" I noticed. "He isn't the only one in here with us." Zaina mentioned.

"What do you mean?" Athena questioned. "There are more people here like Abyss, if not better or stronger. Still, they're not gonna come out until you're done training with him." Zaina said, looking at me. All I could do was blink at her.

"Foresight I see. A very observant ability to have." The orb said. "Wait, first of all, who is Abyss?" I asked in confusion. Zaina pointed directly at the talking orb of black smoke. "Wait, 'Abyss' is your name..?" Nagima puzzled.

"Yes, it is." The orb started to change, and black smoke began to camp around it at large. With a flash of what looked to be red eyes, we could make out a body of pure black with a shiny object in his hands.

"I am the Abyss." He spoke in his new form. I slowly turned my head towards Zaina. "...You saw this coming, didn't you?" I interpreted. "Yup." She answered quickly. "Of course you did." I shook my head.

"Now with introductions out of the way, it's time that my kin starts his training first." Abyss announced. "Oh yeah! Who's your kin Mr. Abyss?" Mango named, I guess trying to show a sign of respect. Abyss, without hesitation, turn to me.
