I watch as my brother runs towards me. I also start to run to him but I suddenly stop and I faint to the ground. I am trembling so much even though the wind isn't very cold. A tear falls from my eye and hits one of the broken pieces of curtain. My vision begins to blur and before I pass out, I see a black figure trying to pick me up. My brother is trying to protect me and keep me safe..

I don't know how long I have passed out but I wake up underneath a broken tree branch. I see how my brother watches the golden gray sky. I can still feel my heart trembling from the fall. I walk up to my brother and ask him whats going on. He doesn't reply. Instead, his jaw drops and he takes a step back. As I start to really regain my vision, I look up at the sky. It is entirely covered up by a giant dark-grey cloud and all the little ghosts are being sucked into it. Brother finally says, " We need to get to the center of this place. Where the curtain once stood." I nod and he immediately starts running. It is hard to catch up with him but he sees that I am struggling and helps me get to the front.

We finally reach the center and I realize that I didn't pass out as long as I thought I did. I can still see the tree branch from where I am standing. Brother and I start looking for a remaining ghost. Luckily, I find one but this one is quite larger than the others. And I can see that the ghost is the one that is causing the cloud. And once all the ghosts have been consumed, it turns into a giant monster. One half of its body is black and the other is white.

And then I realize that it is the spirit of Twilight.
