The familiar white mist appeared around Shard as he stepped forward. The adventure of entering past times gave Shard a sense of ease, not needing to ponder or concern himself with the current timeline's affairs.
Continuing to step forward, the scenic curtain of the City of Eternal Night from the Fifth Era gradually unfolded.
The sound of rain pattered, and the darkness swallowed the luminescent mist. However, this time Shard didn't find himself on a rainy street but directly on the castle terrace in the city's center, known as the "Place of Dusk."
A semi-circular area, with a wall on the straight side featuring a double-metal door tightly shut, and two corners adorned with floor-standing candle lamps as colorful as the sunset.
At the curved wall near the terrace's edge, there was a small tent surrounded by a thicket of three-colored moonlight thorns.
