Sylvia's POV:
Once Noreen disappeared, I began to look for a way out. I needed to find Rufus and I needed to ask the truth from him as soon as I could.
It seemed that I was in a very strange place. There was no door that could be seen, and the only object in the room was a scarecrow lying on the floor.
I recalled that there used to be furniture and a candle in the room. They oddly disappeared the moment Noreen's avatar left.
I took out my phone so that I could contact someone from the outside world, but I soon realized there was no signal in this place.
At least the flashlight of my phone was still working.
I started fumbling about the room but I didn't find any clues. My anxiety began to build up from this.
"Sylvia, you need to calm down. Listen. The sound of the wind could be heard from here," Yana reassured.
I stopped from my pacing and took in a sharp breath. I, too, noticed something was off. Somewhere in the room, the wind blew loudly.
It made sense. I didn't feel suffocated and I could also definitely feel the air flowing.
This space was not securely shut!
In an instant, I came to the conclusion.
I began to feel a sense of hope as I walked towards the direction of the sound of the wind.
I examined the wall in front of me, put my hand to it and closed my eyes to feel it.
The flow of the wind was certainly faster than the rest of the place.
I took in a deep breath and mustered up all my courage before I rammed my body into the wall. After a brief moment of falling in the air, I landed on a bed of soft grass.
"Damn it! The wall was fake!" Yana snickered and cursed out, "Noreen, that cunning old witch." I regained my composure and turned my head, only to see the wall disappearing into nothingness. The room was just an illusion.
In turned out that I had been in the wilderness this whole time.
At the same time, there seemed to be a commotion in the distance. I could faintly feel Rufus' scent, causing me to swiftly stand up from the grass and run towards it.
When I arrived at the scene, I came to the sight of a great number of soldiers that were fighting each other. A large amount of them had also fainted on the ground.
"Is... Is it an illusion again?" Yana questioned.
