Itsuki felt the feeling of dread hit him the second he walked into the mist. Not only was his vision impaired, but he could feel the presence of malevolent spirits within the area around him. It was a highly unpleasant situation to be in, and it was most certainly not a place he would re-enter as soon as they achieved whatever it was Night had been hoping to achieve.

Itsuki began whispering a chant as he gingerly stepped forwards into the mist, and before long a globe of white fire burned fiercely within Itsuki’s hand, offering a little more light with which to see. The presence of the fire also soothed his nerves a little, though it was of very limited efficacy when it came to making him feel better about the ruined city he had just entered. He turned to look around him, almost hoping to see sunlight, but was greeted only by Chyou, Kimlee and the ever-present caress of the mist.

“We should… Try to find the boundaries of the city… The way the mist fell as we were approaching made it look like there were four quadrants, and we all came in through this one… But I have no idea where the others are, even though they were just here…” Itsuki began, his calm tone beginning to falter a little as the terror that the mist brought on began to set in.

“Night?!”

“Samuel?!”

“Eien? EIEN?!”

And all that came back from the mist was echoes, Ituski’s own voice reflected back at him multiple times over. The group was truly alone, now - and even the telepathic connection that they were supposed to have with the other groups seemed to fail him. Each group was, at this point, well and truly isolated.
