Dimensional Descent

There was a vast expanse of wilderness.

The mine was located in an oasis of sorts, a small patch of forest about a hundred or so kilometers from edge to edge that also happened to have a few mountains that surrounded it.

Outside of this oasis though, the land was mostly barren. This was probably in part due to the Evolution Ore, another part due to the Godlens hogging much of the Force, and only finally due to the natural environment.

But it was within this endless expanse of dull, unkempt and dry lands that the young man kept running, and in the opposite direction of Godlen city at that.

Soon, Leonel could see the destination, probably even before the young man did, and it was mostly because of Anastasia because it was simply too well hidden.

He could have called this land a desert if not for the fact there was no sand, it was that barren. It was simply a wasteland. But within this wasteland, there was a... hatch?

It was too perfectly hidden, a one by one meter patch of perfectly covered land in the middle of nowhere. Even if you knew what you were looking for, it would be impossible to find without senses like Anastasia's. But even then, Anastasia would have overlooked it if not for the fact Leonel had told her to look closely.

Leonel simply didn't believe that this young man would run any further. Not only was he nearing his limits, but the wilderness extended tens of thousands more kilometers. Whatever he was looking for had to be here.

And he was correct.

The young man rushed up to the inconspicuous piece of land, stomped his feet in an odd rhythm, and then the hatch opened up.

He looked around, probably out of habit, then hopped inside.

The hatch closed after him and he disappeared from the world without a single word.
