An Extra’s POV

Chapter 725

The walk of silence continued between the two.

After their interaction subsided, neither Rey or The Oracle spoke another word to each other. Instead, the latter kept her eyes forward, and the latter followed her every movement. The landscape around them kept changing too.

Rey didn't ask any further questions, not allowing his impatience to get the better of him this time. He knew better than to say anything problematic.

This continued until, once again, The Oracle stopped.

"We're here..."

Rey set his gaze beyond The Oracle, staring into the space that she had her eyes on. That was when he saw it--a door in the middle of nowhere.

It was currently a desert landscape, so dry sand kept swirling around the door, its grains beating upon it as they danced in the air.

"She is beyond that door." The Oracle pointed, gesturing that Rey proceeded into the place.

Normally, Rey would have been very conflicted and skeptical of the whole thing. He would be rather suspicious of The Oracle, wanting her to venture in first--something like that. He would have considered a chance that the door was a trap too.

All of that was stifled now.

It wasn't that he trusted The Oracle completely, but that he simply saw no reason to be on guard before her. There was no need for her to resort to such an elaborate trap, even if she had malicious intent.

And Rey didn't think she had any malicious intent.

'So Esme is behind that door, huh...?' Stepping forward while breathing heavily, Rey kept his gaze fixated on the lone door.

There didn't seem to be anything behind it, but that didn't stop him from reaching for the doorknob and twisting it the moment he got close enough.

~FSHUUU~

A hissing sound proceeded from within the door as soon as he merely opened it.

"Go on" The Oracle's voice prompted him, and he could feel her gaze on his back. Not wanting to cause any further delay, he took a deep breath and stepped into the world of the unknown that he would be thrust into.
