"Something isn’t right!" Melissa’s voice suddenly came from the other side.

"The entrance was opened by someone already."

She was standing beside one of the hour lines, looking depressed.

All the wizards were surprised. They quickly gathered beside Melissa.



She pointed at the white dot on the dark hour line and they watched the white dot slowly turning gray.

Ainphent had a serious expression on his face.

"This mark means the entrance was opened not so long ago. The dot will turn white first and then slowly return to gray. Someone or something has already entered the ruins…"

"Something? You mean creatures?" Belem questioned.

"I’m not sure. The area we went past is covered in black rocks, but the other half of the island is a sea of dark trees. We already explored the island last time but we didn’t find any living beings."

Melissa’s brow furrowed.

"Strange, no one followed us here… which means someone else located the island by himself, " Ainphent said, lowering his voice.

"How’s that even possible? We never leaked any information to the public."



Melissa was about to say something else but her expression suddenly changed.

"Move away from the sundial!" she shouted out.

The island started shaking, and it almost felt like an earthquake.

The team quickly walked off the sundial.

A line of dark smoke appeared on top of the gray gnomon. It looked like a snake climbing up the incline, and after several seconds, the snake turned into a small black light dot.

White smoke slowly rose from the surface of the sundial as the earthquake stopped, then lingered in the air.

A dreamy voice came from nowhere. It sounded like a woman singing an opera, the pitch high and tone mild.

"My beloved hometown.

I shall return one day.

I’ve been wandering for so long.

I miss the clean spring, the beautiful frogs.

We shall enjoy the best insects together while listening

to the charming screams. We party, we dance, and we sing.



The sky is red as the blood and the land is warm as lava.

The blood in the glass was smooth and tasty.

We laughed, we gouged our eyes out…

We chew them now as we sing…"

"What the hell is this song?"

Angele glanced around. It seemed like the voice was coming from all angles, echoing above the empty and lonely island.

"I don't know. I never learned this language but I can understand the meaning of the lyrics," Isabell said, her eyebrows scrunched.

"I don’t like it. It’s sick."

Ainphent shook his head.

The followers all had serious expressions on their faces while checking the surroundings. The song was repeated several times before it stopped.
