It was a dark, rustic place. The earth consisted of a coarse, blackened maroon, the horizon not at all more enlightening. The very earth was worse than lifeless, as it seemed almost like the lonely remains of a dreary lacerated soul. Unknown wisps of the darkened earth swirled menacingly above the terrain, as the seemingly lifeless ground churned with abandonment.
Takashi gazed around at his unknown surroundings both with awe and fear, for he didn't even know of how he arrived in this seemingly foreign, and menacing landscape. It seemed endless...for the charred earth continued infinitely into the horizon as far as one's eye could see. Almost like a large malignant shadow...a rusted fortress loomed in the distance, the gloomy violet sky lighting it from behind. Every pillar was a black rusted shard, that penetrated even the sky with its brazen exterior. It's face was rough and imperfect, the crevices in the sides of the monument held in every suspicion of something unknown hidden there in its dark allies.
Takashi turned his bewildered gaze toward the dark twilight sky that backlit the fortress. To his own amazement that there seemed to be not one, nor two...but at least six bright, peculiar spheres in the hazy distance, which either seemed to be Suns or moons. He peered quizzically at one of them, who's surface seemed to glare at him with much irresolution, (in which Takashi also seemed to do so back). His heart beat steadily faster, indicating an allusion to this particular "sun". An image he knows all too well.
Takashi's heart skipped a beat as his breathing became shallow and rushed. It's was all made clear to him, staring into the iridescent Amber shade...glowing in the elliptical twilight sky. Such a penetrating glare it produced, the art of wonder and mystery swirling in its deep yellow surface.
He quickly made an attempt to recover, as he regained a regular breathing pattern. In the recognition of his now aware surroundings and his current situation...he again resigned to look at the Amber sun again...its surface staring at him back as a calling. Now fully resolute of its symbolism, he scanned his current landscape with his new train of thought. And not to his amazement, he knew that this place...Was the lost kingdom of Yamika
